Different Types of Dental Implants
If you are missing one or multiple teeth, dental implants will provide you with a multitude of benefits.
Dental implants are long-lasting, strong, and are indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth. They are ideal for patients who maintain good oral health who have lost teeth due to injury, disease, or other reasons. At Southcentre Dental Clinic, we will perform each step of the dental implant process in the office.
Porcelain Crowns, Dental Bridges and Dentures
Porcelain crowns are designed to look and feel just like natural teeth. If you are missing one tooth, then an implant crown is the best option for you. Once you have your root implanted in your jaw and healed, Dr. Cload will secure the crown to the root. The crown and implant do not affect any of the neighboring teeth and are strong and secure in your mouth.
If you are missing several teeth, Dr. Cload will place an implant-supported bridge, which will be secured to two implanted roots. The implant-supported bridge can replace two or more teeth. If you are missing your full set of teeth, an implant-supported denture can be secured to multiple implants in your mouth. These will stay secure and you won't need to worry about them falling out like real dentures.
