Dental implants consist of small titanium rods, which we are surgically placed into your jawbone. As you heal from surgery, your bone heals and fuses with the rods. Unlike traditional dentures, which are supported directly by your gums, your replacement teeth are supported by the rods. After surgery, you are given a set of temporary teeth and have several follow-up visits, so that your healing progress can be monitored. Once healed, abutments are placed on your implants and impressions are taken, which are used to create your permanent replacement teeth. When the teeth are ready, they are then affixed to the implants.

Dental implants are surgically placed into your jaw bone and gradually are integrated into your bone structure through a healing process known as osseointegration. After we place the titanium dental implant post into your jaw bone, we will allow the bone some time to heal. While the bone heals, it will regrow around the screw-shaped dental implant post creating a strong mechanical bond, like the one between the roots of natural teeth and the jaw bone. The result is permanent dental prosthesis that is held in place by the bone in your jaw. These prostheses are durable and able to last a lifetime with proper care, and they are as comfortable as your natural teeth.

We do not have to tell you how inconvenient tooth loss is. Not being able to eat certain foods, always having to compensate for missing teeth while you try to speak properly. Removable tooth replacement options like dentures can be a tremendous hassle as well. Being able to rely on your dental prostheses is an incredibly valuable thing that grants you unmatched freedom. With dental implants supporting your All on 4^® Treatment Concept solution, you never have to worry about denture adhesives or your dentures slipping when you eat or speak. Instead, you get to talk and eat with confidence every day, effortlessly.

To take care of your dental implant-supported options, all you have to do is brush them with a normal toothbrush and floss them as you would your real teeth. Like natural teeth, dental implants also require you to visit us at least twice a year for routine examinations and checkups to ensure that your oral health is stable.

When you lose a tooth and do not replace it right away, you will be left with an empty spot where a tooth once was. The ridgeline of your gum will be fully exposed to all of the foods that you eat, meaning food particles can slip between the two teeth neighboring the lost tooth and poke the ridge line of the gums. Your gums, like any fleshy portion of your mouth, are tender and easily irritated. When you try to eat something crunchy, like chips or crackers, the sensation of constantly being poked and prodded by the sharp edges of your food is uncomfortable.

A little-known fact about teeth is that they are not stuck in a static position in the mouth, but rather they depend on their neighbors for support. So when you use your teeth to take a bite of something tough, like an apple, all the teeth brace against each other to help make taking a bite more comfortable. When you lose just one tooth, the support structure for taking that bite of the apple decreases significantly. This can mean quite a bit of added discomfort when eating, and it can also mean that your existing teeth are much more likely to be damaged while you eat. Teeth that are not supported by neighboring teeth can become loose and at risk of damage and tooth loss.

Having a dental implant placed is almost like having another natural tooth placed. Dental implants are surgically placed into the bone in your jaw, and as the jaw heals, it heals around the implant posts, integrating them into the strong bone structure. This allows you to chew your food with confidence and comfort. The All-on-4^® implant-supported prostheses offer those who have lost all of their teeth a great way to enjoy all the foods that they have missed for so long.

To clean dentures, they have to be removed from the mouth, and carefully brushed with a special denture brush, on all surfaces. Dental implants allow for uncompromising convenience by allowing you to treat your implants like natural teeth.
