How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants are long-lasting, natural-looking restorations. They are prosthetic roots that are implanted into the jaw, and are supported by bone the same way a natural tooth would be. Dental implants are so strong that only a few of them are needed for full mouth rehabilitation procedures.
Dental implants fit securely without the use of uncomfortable, sticky adhesives. They never restrict the foods patients can eat, and even stimulate growth in the jaw bone, making them the healthiest tooth replacement option available today.
Are Dental Implants Right For Me?
Believe it or not, dental implants are made to last for the rest of your life! With an extremely high success rate, they have the longest life expectancy of any dental restoration. Implants bond to the bone in your jaw to become a permanent fixture in your mouth. Combined with our custom-shaded, tooth-colored crowns, our dental implants are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth.
We offer the following dental implant systems:
- Single Dental Implants
- All-on-4® Dental Implants
- Implant-Retained Dentures
The type and number of dental implants you need will depend on how many missing teeth you have. At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, individual teeth are replaced with a porcelain crown supported by a single implant root, and bridges are supported by two implants, with one on each end. Implant-supported dentures can usually be anchored by as few as four implants for the entire arch!
Single Dental Implant
Dental implants are an ideal solution for replacing a single missing tooth. Single tooth implants are cost-effective, durable, and do not add stress to any of the existing teeth. At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, our implant-supported crowns are custom-crafted to be virtually indistinguishable from the natural teeth! They are always carefully shaded to match your natural smile.
Our state-of-the-art crown fabrication combined with regular maintenance can enable a single dental implant to last a lifetime!
All-on-4® Dental Implants
All-On-4 implant dentures provide a long-lasting solution for patients who are tired of having to deal with traditional removable dentures. The best part? This system is designed to give patients a new, full set of teeth on the very same day as their procedure!
They work by implanting four titanium implants into the patient's upper or lower arch, providing ultra-strong implants that are integrated into the jawbone and attached to custom dentures. All-On-4 dental implants are custom-crafted to the individual patient for the ultimate comfortable, natural-looking tooth replacement solution!
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
Your out-of-pocket dental implant costs will be affected by your dental insurance coverage. At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we're proud to work with patients to help file their insurance claims and make the most of their dental insurance coverage.
If you need additional help financing your dental implants, we offer monthly payment plans and staged dentistry options, too!
