Dental Implants
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a tooth replacement option designed to replace missing tooth roots and support crowns, bridges, implant-retained dentures, or full-arch restorations.
What patients can expect
- Planning looks at bone, gums, bite, health history, and whether grafting or staged treatment is needed.
- Implants can help avoid preparing neighboring teeth when replacing a single tooth.
- For multiple missing teeth, options may include implant bridges, implant-retained dentures, or full-arch treatment depending on needs.
All-on-X procedures
- All-on-X treatment uses a small number of strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth.
- It may be considered for patients who are missing most or all teeth in an arch, have failing teeth, or struggle with loose dentures.
- The exact number and position of implants depends on bone, bite, health history, esthetic goals, and the final restorative design.
- A consultation is needed to determine whether a fixed full-arch option, an implant-retained denture, or another approach is the safest fit.
