Pair Your New Teeth With Implants & Gain a Strong Bite

Your tooth roots play an essential role in your oral health. They stimulate your bone to keep your jaw from shrinking and give you a strong bite. While restorations like bridges or dentures on their own are suitable for some patients, others want the lifelike power of their natural teeth back. You can get that with implants. They function similarly to your natural tooth roots.

When you come in for your appointment, we’ll ensure you have the bone strength needed to support implants. Your dentists will do a thorough exam and take digital X-rays and 3-D scans of your mouth. It may be necessary to first get a treatment that prepares your mouth for implants. For example, bone grafting is used to replace bone lost in your jaw, and a sinus lift makes room in your upper jaw for implants. Our doctors can perform these procedures if needed.

We offer several types of dental implants:

  • Implant-Supported Crown – You can replace a single tooth with a dental crown supported by an implant. Without an implant, you’d need a bridge to replace your tooth.
  • Implant-Supported Bridge – An implant bridge can replace several teeth in a row. Anchor your dental bridge to implants so you don’t need to reduce the structure of nearby healthy teeth for the procedure.
  • Implant-Retained Denture – You can enjoy the benefits of implants but still remove your denture easily.
  • Implant-Supported Denture – When these replacement teeth are anchored to implants, they stay fixed in place. They offer the feel and function most like natural teeth.
  • All-on-4 Dental Implants – Secure an entire arch of teeth to only four implants instead of the standard eight. It’s a less invasive treatment, so you’ll heal faster. There’s no need to remove these teeth for cleaning. You simply brush and floss like you always have.
  • Full-Mouth Reconstruction – Repair your smile with restorative procedures, cosmetic options, and dental implants.
