Dental Implant
Dental Implant
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that an oral Implantologist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to an injury or any other reasons.
Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling; you may forget you ever lost a tooth. You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth.
Types of Dental Implants
Single Tooth Implant
- A single dental implant is used to replace a single missing tooth.
- It consists of an implant post, which is surgically placed in the jawbone, and a crown that attaches to the post.
- This type of implant is ideal when only one tooth needs to be replaced.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
- All-on-4 dental implants are designed to restore an entire arch of teeth (typically the upper or lower jaw) using only four implant posts.
- The four implants are strategically placed in a way that maximizes support and stability for a full set of replacement teeth.
- This approach reduces the need for extensive surgery and bone grafting, making it a cost-effective solution for complete arch restoration.
All-on-6 Dental Implants
- All-on-6 dental implants are similar to All-on-4 implants, but they use six implant posts instead of four.
- This additional support can be advantageous for individuals with specific anatomical or functional requirements.
- All-on-6 implants offer enhanced stability and load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for patients with more extensive tooth loss or those desiring extra security.
