Implants are the preferred method for replacing missing teeth. These small titanium posts will last for decades in most cases, or perhaps even for the rest of your life. Once inserted into the jawbone, they will fuse with the bone and form a sturdy, long-lasting base for replacement teeth.
Your dentist at Bonita Family Dental will use the leading-edge technology of our 3-D cone beam CT scanner to plan your implant procedure. It will help ensure that your implants are placed exactly where they need to go to support your new teeth. Dr. Hegde has successfully placed over 1,000 implants, so you can feel confident in the level of care you’ll receive from her and our team.
You’ll find several types of implant restorations to use for your new smile. Your individual options will depend on your circumstances, but they may include any of the following restorations:
- Single Implant-Crown Combination – To restore a single missing tooth, your dentist will place an implant then attach a crown to the top of it.
- Implant-Supported Bridge – Your new bridge will anchor to at least two implants, filling the gap left behind by missing teeth.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – A system of snaps and balls attached to implants will keep your new dentures firmly in place. You can remove them for cleaning.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – These dentures transfer all the forces of biting and chewing directly to your jaw, rather than your gums like other dentures do. They stay in place, so you can keep them clean with brushing and flossing.
- All-on-4® Dental Implants – Your dentist can anchor full arches of fixed teeth using just four precisely placed implants.
- Same-Day Smile – You may be able to get your new implants and replacement teeth all on the same day.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction – Your dentist will create a comprehensive, individualized plan for replacing all your missing teeth.
