Implants
Dental Implants at Dento Smile
Dental implants are exceptionally strong and can support the weight of multiple teeth. They are designed to integrate into the jawbone like natural tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for a fixed restoration placed on top.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental implants can play a crucial role in your full mouth reconstruction plan. They are often used in pairs to support prosthetics that replace multiple teeth, ensuring a durable and natural-looking result.
Advantages of Implant Treatment
Compared to other types of tooth replacement, implants offer unique advantages such as:
- The best return on investment.
- Single-to-multiple tooth reconstruction.
- Shaped to resemble natural teeth.
- Extremely predictable.
- Non-invasive to adjacent teeth.
- Support facial structures.
- Promote bone health
- Maintain the natural spacing of your remaining teeth.
Other treatments for missing teeth often involve removable appliances or the reshaping of healthy adjacent teeth. These methods may require periodic adjustments and replacements, highlighting implants as a distinct choice for tooth replacement
Types of Implant Restorations
Implants replace the root portion of a missing tooth, requiring a fixed restoration attached via an abutment. For a single missing tooth, a crown is placed over the implant. In cases of multiple adjacent missing teeth, a dental bridge spanning two implants may be suitable. Alternatively, as few as four implants can secure an overdenture for improved stability and function.
Your Implant Surgery
While dental implant placement involves oral surgery, it is generally straightforward and comfortable with minimal anesthesia. Some individuals opt for additional sedation options like nitrous oxide (happy gas) or IV anesthesia for enhanced relaxation. Recovery from implant placement is typically easier compared to tooth extraction.
Mini Dental Implants Available
If traditional implants are not suitable due to bone loss or limited space, consider our mini implant options. Mini dental implants are smaller—less than half the length and width of conventional implants—making them ideal for areas with restricted bone support or limited space.
