Dental implants are the permanent tooth replacements in the mouth. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable bridges or dentures. Dental implants, which are placed in the gums, are small anchors made of a bio-compatible metal named titanium. The anchors begin to fuse with the jawbone over the course of a few months. After the fusing process, called osseointegration, abutment posts are inserted into the posts to allow for the permanent attachment of the implant crowns.
Types of Dental Implants:
Implant-Supported Over Dentures
Implant-supported dentures can be removable or fixed. This prosthetic requires the placement of two or more implants. If a removable option is selected, the denture will anchor onto the implant rather than requiring the use of denture paste or adhesives. Removable dentures can be taken out and cleaned at night.
This technique offers many advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to care for, this solution can simulate the aesthetic and function of natural teeth and stay in place with the implants acting as anchors. Patients will not feel the typical movement and rocking or gingival irritation they usually have with dentures.
Dental implant placement can also help prevent the sunken look that can happen with jawbone loss by stimulating bone growth in the area around the implant. This process is known as osseointegration and can help prevent future bone loss.

Dental Implant-Supported Bridge
An implant-supported fixed partial denture is a prosthetic solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. The bridge replaces multiple adjacent missing teeth without the use of a denture. This prosthetic usually requires two implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for the patients’ natural teeth.

All-on-4 Implant Denture
This denture, often called an all-on-4 is a unique implant denture that allows patients who are missing all of their teeth in one or both arches to replace an entire arch of teeth using 4 implants.
This solution offers many advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to care for, this solution can imitate the aesthetic and function of natural teeth and stay in place with the implants as permanent anchors. Patients will not experience the rocking or gingival irritation they experience with dentures. Patients can often have a full arch of teeth in one day, reducing overall cost and healing time for the patient.
Just like implant-supported dentures, Full arch implant prosthetics help alleviate the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area surrounding the implant. This process is known as osseointegration.
With this implant-supported full arch, there is no resin or metal covering the palate, so speaking and eating are more comfortable and more natural than with a traditional denture.

Guided Dental Implant Placement
With Cone Beam CT and restorative virtual treatment planning, and with specialized training, guided implant placement is the standard of care.
Using a virtual 3-D model or a physical model, implant surgery and the following prosthetic work can be simulated to create the ideal treatment plan for patients. These simulations allow the doctor to take multiple aspects of implant placement and restoration into consideration, resulting in predictable aesthetic outcome, function and longevity for the patient’s final restoration. Working with a 3D model also lets the patient picture the procedures and visualize the end result.
When treatment planning is complete, specialized computer applications can be used to create a surgical guide for use during implant placement. This guide directs the exact angulation and depth of the implant. The use of this type of appliance increases the safety and accuracy of the surgery.
