IMPLANT DENTISTRY


There is a solution for missing teeth, loose fitting dentures, ill-fitting partial dentures, and unappealing cosmetic work. Dental implants are a technology that has been proven to work, having a 92% success rate when done using the proper techniques and skills.

Dental implants are small titanium cylinders that function as artificial tooth roots and anchor your dentures and/or bridgework, giving you back many of life’s simple pleasures.

There are many advantages of Implant Dentistry, including the fact that it is safe and comfortable. With implants you can floss, brush, and eat comfortably without taking your dentures/partials in and out. Having implants in the jaw also prolongs and stabilizes the quality of your jaw bone, because it puts pressure inside the bone, allowing it to function as if your teeth were still there. When teeth are missing, over time your jawbone will shrink and decrease, but that is not so when implants are used to replace them.

Our Oral Surgeon, Dr. William Ardary, who is a board certified Maxillofacial Surgeon, and our Periodontist, Dr. Dave Corradi, are both experienced in treating patients who need implants, and/or bone augmentation.

Replacing a complete set of teeth, Choose between a removable or fixed Prosthesis.


A Prosthesis to Fit Your Needs


Depending on how many teeth you're missing, you may have a single, partial, or complete prosthesis. The more teeth to be replaced, the more implants you will need. For most people, a permanent prosthesis won't be made until the jawbone has fused to the implants. Until then, a temporary prosthesis may be used.

  • A Single prosthesis is used to replace a missing tooth. One implant is all  that's needed for support.
  • A Partial prosthesis replaces two or more teeth. Two or three implants are used for support.
  • A complete denture prosthesis replaces all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw, or both. The number of implants needed depends on whether a fixed or removable prosthesis is used.

Prosthesis

Removable Prosthesis

With a removable prosthesis, the new teeth are joined to the implants by a connecting device, such as a clip and bar. This allows you to take the prosthesis out for cleaning. For support, this type often uses four to six implants per jaw.

Fixed Prosthesis

With a fixed prosthesis, the new teeth are fitted to a frame that is secured to the implants. Five
or more implants are placed along the contour of the jaw. In some cases, a fixed prosthesis
offers more stability for chewing.
