Teeth-In-A-Day

Get a new smile without the wait. This dental implant technique has existed for over a decade. They are an excellent alternative for patients who already have dentures or are thinking about getting dentures. Call for a free consultation.

Dental Implant Supported Crown and Bridge

A single tooth is replaced using a dental implant in place of the natural root. A crown, or replacement tooth, is attached to the implant with an abutnment. For a bridge, multiple teeth are replaced with an implant-supported bridge. Call for a free consultation.

Hybrid or Fixed Denture

A complete set of teeth are replaced with a fixed or removable denture that is attached to multiple implants. An implant-supported denture is more comfortable and stable than a traditional denture and bone is better preserved. Call for a free consultation.

Dental Implants are indicated whenever at least one tooth is missing. If the missing space(s) is not filled, the teeth surrounding the space often drift, the opposing teeth in the other arch will erupt further into the oral cavity (hypereruption) which can change your bite, bone erosion can occur in the area, and even changes in speech might occur. The popularity of implants has increased steadily over the years.

Implant Dentistry is designed to replace the root of a missing tooth and can be used to support crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Implant supported dentures have gained major popularity in the recent years.  New materials and techniques have made the retention of the implant supported dentures to a greater extent than conventional dentures.

The root-form implant is the most common type and basically consists of three main components:

1. Implant screw – This part of the implant is made of titanium and is surgically placed in the bone. Titanium is accepted by the body extremely well and fuses with the bone (called osseointegration) during the healing process.
2. Abutment – This is a metal collar that attaches to the top of the implant screw and is the base for a crown, bridge, or denture.
3. Crown - The crown is the manufactured tooth that fits on top of the abutment. Bridges and dentures can also be secured to the abutment. The placement of the crown, bridge, or denture is the final step of the implant process.
