Dental implants are the replacement of tooth roots in the mouth. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable bridges or dentures. Dental implants, which are placed in the bone, are small anchors made of a metal called titanium. The posts start to fuse with the jawbone over the course of a few months. After the healing process, called osseointegration, implant abutments are inserted into the implant fixtures to allow for the permanent attachment of the replacement teeth.
Types of Dental Implants:
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures can be fixed or removable. This prosthetic requires the placement of two or more implants. If a removable option is selected, the denture will sit onto the implant rather than the use of denture adhesives. Removable dentures can be taken out for cleaning at night.
This option provides more advantages over traditional dentures. Easy to care for, this solution can simulate the look and feel of natural teeth and stay in place with the implants acting as anchors. Patients will not experience the typical gum irritation and rocking 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 multiple teeth in a row are missing. The bridge replaces multiple adjacent missing teeth as an alternative to a denture. This restoration typically requires two implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides an aesthetic and functional replacement for the patient’s natural teeth.

All-on-4 Implant Denture
This denture, also known as an all-on-4 is a unique implant solution that allows patients who are missing all of their teeth to restore an entire arch of teeth using only 4 implants as anchors.
This solution offers multiple advantages over conventional dentures. Easy to maintain, this denture can simulate the aesthetic and function of natural teeth and stay in place with the implants as anchors. Patients will not experience the rocking or gum irritation associated with dentures. Patients can often leave the same day with a full arch of teeth, reducing both overall cost and healing time for the patient.
Very much like implant-supported dentures, Full arch implant prosthetics help prevent the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area around the implant. This process is osseointegration.
With this type of fixed full denture, there is no plate covering the palate, so speaking and eating are more natural and comfortable than with a conventional denture.

Guided Implant Surgery
Using CBCT and virtual treatment planning, and with specialized training, guided implant placement is performed.
Using a 3D model or a physical model, implant surgery and the following prosthetic work can be planned virtually to create the ideal treatment plan. These simulations allow the doctor to take multiple aspects of implant placement and restoration into consideration, resulting in predictable aesthetics and function for the patient’s restoration. Using a 3D model also lets the patient picture the procedures and visualize the end result.
Once planning is done, specialized computer applications can be used to fabricate a surgical guide for use during implant placement surgery. The guide helps with the exact location, depth, and angulation of the implant placement. The use of this type of appliance increases the safety and accuracy of the procedure.
