IMPLANTS
WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants are the best long-term solution to replace missing teeth. Artificial teeth are secured into the jaw. The bone grows around the implant for a fit and look that is indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Dental Implants are made of three pieces:
CROWN - Artificial tooth that fits on top of the post. This is the only piece that is visible.
POST - Piece that connects the crown the anchor.
ANCHOR - Housing that is surgically placed in the jawbone, which holds the post and crown in place.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF IMPLANTS?
There are three types of Dental Implants:
BRIDGE
Multi-tooth replacement
FULL-MOUTH
Replacement of all your natural teeth
SINGLE-TOOTH
Individual-tooth replacement
FULL-MOUTH
Are you embarrassed by your smile, and want to avoid dentures? Full-mouth Implants are a great alternative, and come in two categories:
1
SNAP-IN- An affordable, full-replacement solution that is easy to clean and remove, yet stays firmly in place.
2
SCREW-IN - The most natural-feeling, full-replacement solution. Screw-in dentures, are permanently attached to the gum, and can only be removed by your dentist.
