A dental implant supported bridge replaces missing teeth by placing two or more dental implants rather than using adjacent teeth as supports. Unlike traditional bridges that can weaken the healthy teeth that are used for supports, dental implants avoid putting additional stress on your natural teeth and help preserve the health and function of the surrounding bone tissue and teeth.
Traditional Dentures
Partial Dentures
Even if you have not lost all the teeth within an arch, you can still enjoy the benefits of dentures while filling in spaces from missing teeth in your mouth. Partial dentures are a great option for patients who have suffered from significant tooth loss.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are crafted to help patients enjoy day to day activities, even if they’ve lost all of their natural teeth from either decay or accident. Traditional full dentures are easy to wear and have beautiful, individually crafted, natural looking teeth. We make sure our dentures provide our patients with perfect occlusion and a reason to smile again.
Dentures and Dental Implants
Implant Supported Dentures
An implant supported denture requires the placement of four to six dental implants as “anchors” to provide a sturdier fit and minimal mobility for your denture. With implant supported dentures, there is no plate covering the roof of the mouth, so speaking and eating are more natural and comfortable than with traditional dentures. For qualifying patients, our doctors may be able to complete the removal of all teeth and the placement of a temporary arch on the same day.
Implant Retained Dentures
Available for full or partial dentures, implant retained dentures require the placement of two or more dental implants to secure the dentures in the mouth. This type of denture will “snap” onto the implants and can be removed for cleaning at night.
