Dental Implants: Advanced Tooth Replacement

April 15, 2024

Dentistry has made great strides in tooth replacement, so dental implants have become popular. These artificial tooth roots are made from biocompatible materials like titanium, so they provide a permanent solution that mimics the feel and function of natural teeth. They are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. Alternatives include mini implants for individuals with minor bone density and the innovative All-on-4 teeth implants. These use just four implants to support an entire arch of teeth. 

Dental Implants Explored

Dental implants maintain longevity and similarity to natural teeth, so they are preferred for tooth replacement. The process involves assessing, implanting, and osseointegration – where the bone and implant fuse over several months. Finally, the replacement tooth or teeth are fitted. This results in a stable, natural-feeling replacement, and with proper care it will last a lifetime.

Several options exist for tooth replacement, like bridges, full or partial dentures, and removable partial dentures. Consult with dental professionals to determine the proper selection for your needs.

Dental Implant Types

Full-mouth dental implants enhance comfort, stability, and functionality for people missing most or all teeth. They look and feel like natural teeth and require standard oral care. In addition, they drastically improve patients’ quality of life despite the complexity of their procedure.

Mini implants and dentures offer different benefits. Mini dental implants are less invasive, require less recovery time, and offer a more affordable option. However, they may not be as long-lasting. Conventional dentures can restore the appearance of a complete set but require adjustments over time, so they don’t prevent jaw bone loss.

The All-on-4 technique revolutionizes dental implants by using four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of teeth. It’s quick, cost-effective, and suitable for patients with low bone density. It’s an effective solution for substantial tooth loss.
