Dental Implant Options
Due to modern dental technology, implant surgery is a safe, effective means of replacing lost teeth. Working with an experienced implant dentist like Dr. Bingham-Lester is key to having a successful procedure. Dr. Bingham-Lester will evaluate your oral health to determine if implants are a good fit for you. If so, we’ll discuss your implant options and make arrangements to start your procedure. We offer the following options for implant surgery:Â
- Single implants to replace individual missing teeth using a porcelain crown as your replacement tooth
- Implant-supported bridge to replace multiple missing teeth in a row
- Implant-supported dentures to replace an entire arch or all of your teeth using all-on-four or all-on-six implants
The Implant Process
Each dental implant option begins with implanting one or more titanium rods (implants) into your jawbone to create a stable foundation for your new teeth. Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with your bone system to function like a tooth root. Once the implant fully integrates into your system, Dr. Bingham-Lester will place an abutment (connector) on top to support your prosthetics. Lastly, a porcelain crown, bridge, or dentures will be attached to the abutment to complete your treatment. You’ll find your new implant restorations:
- As natural-looking as your other teeth, giving your smile a pleasing appearance
- Strong and stable, restoring your ability to chew all your favorite foods
- Comfortable as the implants become a permanent part of your jawbone system, just like natural teeth
- Easy to care for, requiring only daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings
