About Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. By utilizing dental implants, people who have lost teeth can regain the ability to eat virtually anything, and to smile with confidence. Self-esteem is enhanced by knowing that the teeth appear natural, and that facial contours will be preserved. With low dental implants cost improves the quality of your life forever.

Dental Prosthesis

The decision to receive dental implants is the most important decision you make, then selecting the appropriate prosthesis is certainly the second most important because of different dental implants cost. The dental implant prosthesis is a dental restoration that will be placed on top of the implant. Depending on the number of teeth missing and your particular needs, several different prosthesis options are available.

Single Tooth Implant Dentistry

A fixture called an abutment connects to the dental implant via a screw. A crown (cap) is then either screwed or cemented onto the abutment. The abutment can be made of titanium or zirconia depending on the location of the missing tooth. The crown can be made of a variety of materials depending on your budget and needs. The materials that are used play a big role in the success of treatment.

Multiple Teeth Missing

An implant-supported, fixed bridge can replace two or more teeth, and may require only two or three implants. Abutments are required for each implant to be secured onto the fixed bridge.

All Teeth Missing – Removable

When all teeth are missing, we have the option of a fixed prosthesis or a removable prosthesis. A fixed prosthesis is one that can not be removed by the patient. In some cases only the dentist can remove the prosthesis.

A removable prosthesis is one that the patient needs to remove on a daily basis.
