Dental Implant Options

Dental implants provide the comfort, convenience and stability that regular dentures do not. Rather than just replacing your missing teeth, dental implants will also replace the root of the teeth, leaving you with added security and confidence.

  1. Snap-On Denture

    • Snap-on dentures consist of two dental implants which the dentures are snapped onto. This type of implant relies on support from the surrounding gum tissue.

    Removable Bridge

    • With this option, six implants will be placed into the top and bottom arches, with a bar connecting them. The dentures will then be fastened to the bar.

    Fixed Implant Hybrid

    • Fixed implant hybrids have between eight to 10 implants, with no tissue support required. These implants are used to replace missing teeth, gum and bone tissue.

    Individually Supported Implants

    • Each crown can be implanted separately into the gums, which often provides the most comfort and quality. Sufficient amount of bone and tissue will need to be available.

    Single Tooth Replacement

    • If a single tooth needs to be replaced, the implant will be done at the site of the missing tooth. An implant will be placed in your jaw and a new tooth will be fitted over it, blending in naturally with your other teeth.
