Dental implants are the permanent tooth replacements in the mouth. Implants provide enough support for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Dental implants, which are placed in the bone, are anchors made of a metal named titanium. The posts start to fuse with the bone over a few months. After the healing process, known as osseointegration, abutment posts are inserted into the posts to allow for the permanent attachment of the implant prosthesis.

Types of Dental Implants:

Implant-Supported Over Dentures

Implant-supported dentures can be removable or fixed. This solution requires the placement of two to eight dental implants. If a removable denture is selected, the denture will snap onto the implant rather than requiring the use of denture paste. Removable dentures must be taken out for cleaning regularly.
This technique offers many advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to maintain, this solution can mimic the function and aesthetics of natural teeth and stay fixed in place with the help of dental implants as anchors. Patients will not experience the typical gum irritation and rocking they usually have with dentures.
Dental implant placement can also help alleviate the sunken look that can happen with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone retention in the area around the implant. This process is called osseointegration and can help prevent future bone loss.

Dental Implant-Supported Bridge

An implant-supported fixed partial denture is a prosthetic solution for spaces where multiple teeth in a row 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 function and aesthetics to restore the patient's natural teeth.

Guided Dental Implant Placement

Using CBCT and virtual treatment planning, and with specialized training, guided implant surgery is the standard of care.
Using a virtual 3-D model or a physical model, surgical placement of tooth implants and the following prosthetic work can be designed virtually to create the ideal treatment plan for patients. These simulations allow the doctor to take different aspects of implant placement into consideration, resulting in optimal aesthetic outcome, function, and longevity for the patient’s restoration. Using a 3-D model also allows the patient to picture the process and visualize the end result.
Once treatment planning is done, specialized software can be used to fabricate a surgical guide for implant placement. This guide directs the exact location, angle, and depth of the implant. The use of the guide improves the safety and accuracy of the procedure.

Full Arch with Four Implants

This procedure, also known as an all-on-4 is a modern implant solution that allows patients who are missing all of their teeth in one or both arches to restore a full arch of teeth using 4 dental implants only.
This solution offers many advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to care for, this solution can imitate the look and feel of natural teeth and stay fixed in place with the implants as anchors. Patients will not feel the typical rocking and movement or gingival irritation associated with dentures. Patients can often have a full arch of teeth in one day, reducing both overall cost and healing time for the patient.
Just like other types of implant restorations, Full arch implant prosthetics help alleviate the sunken look that can come with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area surrounding the implant. This process is known as osseointegration.
With this implant-supported full arch, there is no resin or metal covering the roof of the mouth, so eating and talking are more comfortable and more natural than with a traditional denture.
