Dental Implants at Plaza Dental Centre
What Are Implants?
Dental implants are restorations made to mimic the shape and function of your natural teeth. When set into the mouth the bone integrates around them, permanently fusing the implant into place. No other type of modern tooth replacement is as predictable or secure as today’s implant designs. As independent restorations, they do not rely on the support of natural teeth.
What to Expect During Treatment
Depending on the type and number of dental implants that you’re getting, the overall process can call for a few appointments spread over 3-6 months. The goal is to make it so that our patients never have to go without teeth while ensuring that all implants have fully integrated before attaching the permanent crown, bridge or denture.
Types of Cosmetic Dental Implants
Single Dental Implants
If you are missing a single tooth, we recommend a single cosmetic dental implant. This procedure involves two parts for optimal results. Initially, a titanium post is gently inserted into the gum, serving as a sturdy replacement for the missing root, ensuring support and durability for the new tooth. Following this, a custom crown or denture is meticulously placed onto the post, seamlessly restoring the natural appearance and functionality of the smile.
Full Dental Implants
When facing advanced decay or significant tooth loss, traditional dental implants may not suffice. That’s where full dental implants are recommended. A full dental implant procedure offers a permanent dental implant solution as an alternative to traditional dentures. This innovative approach involves securing a full set of prosthetic teeth onto just four dental posts, providing comprehensive support and functionality for the entire set.
Multiple Dental Implants
Multiple dental implants are similar to single dental implants, albeit with additional steps due to the placement of several implants to replace multiple missing teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several between healthy natural teeth, you might be a suitable candidate for single or multiple implants. It’s essential for candidates to maintain healthy gums, strong jaw bones, and high oral hygiene standards to ensure the success of the implant procedure.
