Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements. Tooth implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Dental implants, which are placed in the bone, are anchors made of a bio-compatible metal named titanium. The anchors start to fuse with the bone over three to six months. After the fusing process, known as osseointegration, abutment posts are inserted into the implant fixtures to allow for the permanent attachment of the implant crowns.
Types of Dental Implants:
Implant-Supported Over Dentures
Implant-supported dentures can be either removable or fixed. This solution requires the placement of two or more dental implants. If a removable option is selected, the denture will anchor onto the implant to gain more retention rather than the use of denture adhesives. Removable dentures can be taken out and cleaned at night.
This option offers many advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to care for, this solution can mimic the function and aesthetics of natural teeth and stay in place with the implants acting as anchors. Patients will not experience the typical movement and rocking or gingival irritation they usually have with dentures.
Dental implant placement can also help alleviate the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone retention in the area surrounding the implant. This process is known as osseointegration and can also help prevent future bone loss.

Guided Implant Surgery
Using Cone Beam CT and computerized treatment planning, and with specialized training, guided implant placement is possible.
Using a 3D model or a physical model, surgical placement of tooth implants and the following prosthetic work can be designed virtually to create the ideal patient treatment plan. These simulations allow the doctor to take different aspects of implant placement into consideration, resulting in predictable aesthetic outcomes and function for the patient’s final restoration. Using a 3-D model also lets the patient picture the process and visualize the outcome before it is finalized.
Once treatment planning is done, specialized software can be used to create a surgical guide for use during implant placement surgery. This guide helps with the exact angulation and depth of the implant placement. The use of the surgical guide increases the safety, accuracy, and predictability of the surgery.
Implant-Supported Bridge
An implant-supported fixed partial denture is a prosthetic solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. The bridge replaces multiple adjacent missing teeth as an alternative to a denture. This restoration usually requires at least two dental implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides an aesthetic and functional replacement for the patients’ natural teeth.

Full Arch with Four Implants
This denture, also known as an all-on-4 is a modern implant-supported solution that allows patients who are missing all of their teeth in the upper or lower arches to restore a full arch of teeth using 4 dental implants only.
This technique offers multiple advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to maintain, this denture can simulate the function and aesthetic of natural teeth and stay fixed in place with the implants acting as permanent anchors. Patients will not feel the rocking or gum irritation they experience with dentures. Patients can often leave the same day with a full arch of teeth, reducing both overall healing time and cost for the patient.
Very much like implant-supported dentures, All-on-4 can help prevent the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone retention in the area surrounding the implant. This process is known as osseointegration.
With this implant-supported full arch, there is no plate covering the roof of the mouth, so speaking and eating are more comfortable and more natural than with a traditional denture.
