Benefits of Dental Implants
Compared to traditional tooth replacement options like bridges or dentures, implants offer numerous advantages:
If you are considering dental implants, our experienced team will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you are a candidate for this life-changing procedure.
1. Single Tooth Implants
If you are missing one tooth, a single implant topped with a custom-made crown is the ideal solution. This option preserves jawbone health and prevents shifting of surrounding teeth.
2. Implant-Supported Bridges
For patients missing multiple teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge provides a stable, natural-looking restoration without the need for traditional dental bridges that rely on adjacent teeth for support.
3. Full-Arch Implants (Implant-Supported Dentures)
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, full-arch implants provide a secure, permanent alternative to traditional dentures. These implant-supported dentures eliminate slipping, discomfort, and the need for adhesives.
