From chewing easily to smiling confidently to keeping the rest of your teeth aligned, dental implants elevate your overall oral health. Missing teeth can limit the foods you are able to enjoy and have a long-term impact on your oral health, not to mention your emotional well-being. Your journey towards a confident and healthy smile begins with understanding your options.
The dental implant process involves several stages, including the initial consultation, surgical implant placement, a healing period, and crown attachment. A single implant can be the missing piece to a whole and healthy smile, and our doctors can provide the best dental implants for you that look and feel natural while elevating your physical and emotional health.
Does your bridge or partial feel loose, impacting your confidence and ability to eat foods you love? You may be a candidate for multiple implants, providing a secure, stable base to attach your bridge or partial to. The process is just like a single implant and leaves you with a durable, permanent solution that closely replicates your natural teeth in form and function. Since the implant anchors into the jawbone, bone density is key. If your bone density levels aren’t high enough, a bone grafting procedure may be recommended to precede the implants.
All-on-4 implants are an excellent option for those who have lost most or all of their teeth, who have a limited amount of jawbone and aren’t candidates for traditional implant placement, or those who are seeking a more sturdy and reliable solution to traditional dentures. With this procedure, four implants are used to complete a full arch of teeth on both the top and bottom jaws.
If you’re uncomfortable with your missing teeth but don’t want to go the route of traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures could be just the thing to help you smile with confidence again. The lack of support can cause traditional dentures to slip or move, but you won’t have to worry about that with implant-retained dentures. This option is supported by and attached to dental implant posts in the jawbone. They’re also called snap-in dentures, as they snap securely into place on top of the dental implant.
Having weak or deteriorating jaw bones is a common issue for patients who visit Aspire, so we’re well-equipped to build you up stronger and healthier than ever before. To better prepare you for dental implants, a dental bone graft or sinus lift may be recommended as part of your treatment plan. A sinus lift is one of the most common bone grafting procedures for patients with bone loss in the upper jaw. This procedure allows for a stronger bone floor of the maxillary sinus to anchor implants.
The look in the mirror of having teeth again, I can describe it as no less than incredible.
