Types of Dental Implants
Single Tooth Implants
Perfect for replacing individual missing teeth, a single tooth implant consists of one titanium post topped with a custom-crafted crown. This solution removes the need for a denture and preserves adjacent healthy teeth that would otherwise need to be drill into for a traditional bridge.
Implant-Retained Dentures
For those missing most or all teeth of their teeth, implant-retained dentures provide remarkable stability compared to conventional dentures. Using a series of strategically placed implants, the denture snaps securely into place, reducing denture movement and often improving a patients ability to eat, speak, and smile.
Implant-Supported Bridges
When missing several adjacent teeth, implant-supported bridges offer an alternative to traditional bridges or a denture. Unlike conventional bridges that rely on neighbouring teeth for support, or a denture which is removable, implant bridges are anchored directly to the jawbone with two or more implants.
Full-Arch Replacements (All-on-4 or All-on-6)
This technique replaces either all the top or bottom teeth using just four to six implants. The result is either fixed or removable teeth that looks natural and functions like your own. This solution offers the most comprehensive tooth replacement option with minimal implants needed, making it more accessible for those with significant bone loss.
Components of a Dental Implant
A complete dental implant consists of three essential parts:
The Implant Fixture
This titanium post serves as the artificial tooth root and is surgically placed into your jawbone.
The Abutment
A connector piece that attaches to the top of the implant fixture, extending above the gumline to support the prosthesis.
The Prosthesis
The visible portion of your replacement tooth—a crown, bridge, or denture—custom-designed to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size.
Leading the Way with Computer-Guided Implant Planning and Surgery
