Structural Benefits of Implant Dentistry

Traditional dental prosthetics such as a fixed dental bridge or denture can significantly help improve the appearance of a person’s smile, but for qualifying patients looking to address the other consequences of tooth loss, a dental implant may be a more suitable option. Comprised of a biocompatible post and a custom-designed crown restoration, implants can help keep the jawbone strong and absorb an appropriate amount of your bite’s pressure to ensure proper function.

Variety and Support with Implant-Retained Restorations

Dental implants can be used to address the loss of one or several teeth and offer a versatile solution for a variety of needs. For example, patients that have lost only one tooth or a few individual teeth may be able to complete their smile with an implant-supported crown. Patients experiencing the loss of a few consecutive teeth, on the other hand, may be better suited for an implant-supported bridge.

Another implant-retained solution is All-on-4 treatment, which is designed to address severe and complete tooth loss through the strategic placement of four biocompatible implant posts.
