Dental Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of an implant post that is surgically placed in your jawbone onto which we attach a custom dental crown. Together, this creates a permanent tooth replacement option that looks, feels, and functions naturally. Dental implants can provide the foundation for a single dental crown, a dental bridge, or a full arch of prosthetic teeth. The benefits of dental implants in Davenport, FL include:
- Permanently restores one, several, or all missing teeth
- Fits and blends naturally into surrounding teeth
- Prevents further jawbone loss
- Restores natural tooth biting and chewing function
- Sturdy, strong, and long-lasting
Types of Dental Implants
Single Implants
Single implants are used to replace one missing tooth. The implant is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over a period of several months. Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown is placed on top. This creates a natural-looking, functional replacement tooth that is designed to last for many years.
Full-Mouth Implants
Full-mouth implants are used to replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. This is a more extensive procedure that typically involves placing multiple implants throughout the jawbone. Once the implants have fused with the bone, they can be used to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Full-mouth implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for those who have lost all of their teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Implant-supported bridges are used to replace several missing teeth in a row. The bridge is supported by two or more dental implants that are placed into the jawbone. The implants provide a stable anchor for the bridge, which is designed to look and function like natural teeth. Implant-supported bridges are a durable, long-lasting solution for those who have lost multiple teeth in a row.
