Dental implants are a common replacement option for missing teeth. They can provide support for crowns, bridges, and dentures. An implant tooth can be used as natural teeth would be.
A single dental implant can be a solution for a missing tooth, especially if the surrounding teeth are healthy. At Kardynal Dental, we use a 3D CBCT digital scan to ensure proper planning and offer a fully guided implant placement, maximizing safety and assuring proper function of the implant restoration.
During a typical implant consult, a digital scan and a CBCT X-ray are captured to organize your case information.
Your doctors will then design your case behind the scenes for your surgery appointment. This helps surgery day goes as smooth and predictable as possible.
Your second in-office appointment is the implant placement procedure itself, guided by the plan made from the information collected at your first visit
Unlike traditional bridges which are supported by natural teeth, an implant-supported bridge is supported by the implants. These implants have small threaded posts that replace the teeth' roots and must be fully fused with the jawbone before the bridge can be applied. This procedure is only available when a patient has three or more missing teeth in a row.
Similar to the implant-supported bridge, an implant-supported denture replaces several teeth at once and attaches to the jawbone and is retained in the mouth using dental implants. Depending on the type of denture recommended based on your medical history and personal preferences, the dentures can be fixed or removable.
For patients with severely compromised or missing teeth that can not be corrected with other measures, this implant solution exists. Four to six implants are strategically positioned per arch to ensure proper support and stability, while non removable teeth are screwed into place over the implants.
