Benefits Of Single Implants

The application of implants for single-tooth replacements has evolved into a viable surgical and prosthodontic treatment option with reporting of excellent implant survival rates and satisfied patients. Psychological benefits of restoring the dental arch with a restoration which resembles a natural tooth are high. Next to this, the conservation of tooth structure of neighbouring teeth is seen as a great advantage.

The success of single-implant therapy is not only determined by high survival rates, but even more by the (long-term) quality of survival, dictated by a mixture of several factors. Preferably, the appearance of the peri-implant soft tissue should be in harmony with the mucosa around the adjacent teeth and the implant crown should be in balance with the neighbouring dentition and with the possibility for good oral hygiene. Another factor is that functioning with the single-tooth restoration is not impaired by pain or problems with chewing and speaking.

Implant Supported Bridge

If you have multiple missing teeth, implant-supported bridges can be used to replace them.

Implant-supported bridges will provide you with a permanent, fixed and functional tooth replacement option.

Generally an implant-supported bridge will consist of one of more ‘pontic’ crowns in the middle, surrounded by ‘retainer crowns’ that are attached to dental implants.

All On Four Implants

All On 4 is a dental implant technique where the upper or lower set of teeth are replaced with just four implants. These four Implants act as a support mechanism for the placement of a new set of fixed teeth.

With the All On 4 dental implant procedure, the posterior implants are tilted 45° towards the rear of the mouth and placed into the anterior maxilla, a region of the jaw with higher bone density. Compared to other implant methods, the All On 4 technique doesn’t require the same density of bone in order to secure the implant.

All on Six Implants

As we age, the unfortunate fact is that we lose teeth. Whether through simple inertia or the accelerant of bad hygiene out we lose teeth and until recently there was nothing you could do about it.

But now, with advancements in dentistry and dental technology. if you’re looking to restore missing teeth on both the upper and lower jaw, full mouth dental implants – also known as All-On-6 – are the recommended procedure for a permanent solutionI
