Dental Implants
Over the years, dental implants have revolutionized the realm of tooth replacement with their long-lasting stability and natural feel. from our Greater Jacksonville, FL, dentist are ideal for filling in one or a few spread out spaces left behind while overdentures utilize implants to secure a removable denture. All-on-X implants also work in tandem with false teeth but typically are made permanent to further restore confidence and functionality.
Unlike dentures, dental implants are titanium posts that are carefully inserted into the jawbone instead of resting on top of the gum line. Though oral surgery is involved, many would liken the procedure to feeling like nothing more than getting a filling. That’s because we administer local anesthesia before getting started and make sure you remain pain-free throughout the entire process.
Here are our core offerings involving dental implants below.
Dental implants are perfect for patients who only have one missing tooth. Mimicking natural teeth in appearance and function, implants used for single-tooth replacement offer a durable and enduring alternative to traditional bridges or dentures. Surgically placed, they provide a stable foundation for a custom-made crown, blending seamlessly with surrounding teeth. Our dentist has seen firsthand how dental implants can significantly enhance oral health and restore confidence in one’s smile.
Overdentures are removable prosthetics that fit over and are connected to dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, overdentures utilize implants as anchors, providing increased stability and retention. This innovative approach stimulates the jawbone, enhances chewing efficiency, and offers improved comfort and confidence for denture wearers. Overdentures are a versatile solution suitable for patients with varying degrees of tooth loss, offering a more secure and natural-feeling alternative to conventional dentures.
Similar in concept to overdentures, All-on-X implants are a hybrid answer to the problem that missing teeth pose as 4, 5, or even 6 titanium posts are embedded into the jawbone before an arch of false teeth (denture) is secured on top. This approach does differ though as it is permanent and non-removable. If you’re tired of having multiple gaps in your smile or require a more extensive extraction procedure, our dentist may recommend you choose All-on-X.
