Single Implants
This is the standard approach to dental implants. A single dental implant can replace a single missing tooth — first by gently inserting a slender metal screw called a post into your jawbone to mimic the natural root of a tooth. The post is then topped by a porcelain crown, which gives you an elegant artificial tooth that blends in with the real ones and helps restore your ability to bite and chew.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Dental implants can also be combined with bridges for a sturdier, more effective hold. Bridges are made from crowns that are fused together to fill in a gap in your mouth. Typically attached to your natural teeth via crowns, bridges can be attached to implants instead. This provides a stronger bite and doesn’t require removing any natural tooth structure to support the bridge, helping preserve your remaining natural teeth and supporting your overall oral health.
All-on-4®
An All-on-4 approach is a faster, more economical method for using implants to replace a full arch (upper, lower, or both) of missing teeth. With this method, your dentist will use four dental implants per arch to support a set of new replacement teeth. All-on-4 costs less than creating individual single tooth implants for each missing tooth, and also requires a less extensive surgical preparation process.
