Complicated dental problems don’t always need complicated dental solutions. They just need versatile ones. Dental implants are the versatile solution to tooth loss. At Simply Dentistry, we offer a comprehensive suite of implant procedures, so we’re sure we can find one that will match your smile and your needs. From a combination of implants and other restorations to full arch replacements, the possibilities with implants can’t be overstated.
Implants are actually three pieces: a titanium post that serves as a tooth root, a connector called an abutment, and a custom-made crown. The finished tooth replacement looks—and more importantly acts—just like a real tooth. Tooth implants offer more permanence and stability than traditional dentures or dental bridges can provide. They also improve your health more than other tooth replacements because they directly stimulate your jawbone to encourage bone growth—a crucial part of maintaining your oral health and preventing premature aging.
The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Christina Chen to assess your health; we want to make sure you’re in a good place for implants. We then perform a surgery to place the titanium post into your jawbone. After a period of healing, when the implant fuses with bone, we place the connector, followed by the custom crown.
We know the implant procedure can sound intimidating for one tooth, let alone a whole arch. Replacing the entire upper or lower section of your smile with individual implants is quite an undertaking. Fortunately, you can actually replace those teeth with just a few strategically-placed implants. The aptly-named All-on-4 implants process anchors an arch of teeth on just four posts. It’s the perfect blend of minimalism and functionality. If you have experienced significant tooth loss, this provides an immediate yet permanent solution. You get significant improvements with minimal surgery.
Another less invasive option is overdentures, the modern answer to traditional dentures. Attached to a few perfectly-placed implants for stability, these snap-in dentures eliminate slipping, one of the most commonly cited annoyances associated with conventional dentures. However, while All-on-4 implants are permanently attached, overdentures are removable for easy cleaning. With this option, we blend the convenience of dentures with the security of implants.
Maybe your dental issues are more extensive, and you aren’t sure which choice fits your situation. In that case, you can talk to us about getting a full-mouth rehabilitation. This thorough approach considers your entire oral health and combines restorative dentistry procedures to revive your smile. We can even top off your restorations with cosmetic treatments to give you a polished makeover. With Dr. Chen’s skilled guidance, you get back everything your smile has lost: purpose, aesthetics, and health.
The price of getting implants can vary, especially considering the many types of implants you can choose from. Other factors are how complex your case is and the number of teeth you need replaced. While dental implants are a larger investment initially, their durability, longevity, and the overall improvement to your quality of life make them a cost-effective solution. They also decrease your risk of other health conditions in the long run. Not only that, but our office provides several financing and insurance options to help mitigate the cost.
