Dental implants are replacement tooth roots with metal posts surgically positioned and placed into the jawbone beneath gums. Allow a crown on implant post in replacing a missing gap.

Having missing teeth replace maintains your facial profile and appearance. Using dental implant is restored and you are able to smile naturally.

Type of Dental Implant treatments

1) Conventional Dental Implants
Conventional implants is the traditional process for dental implant treatments and the most established method for dental implant placement whereby waiting time of about 3 months or more is left for bone healing. Dental implant is fused with the jaw bone. Although conventional dental implant takes time, conventional dental implants provide good stability and success rates used for many cases of indications including cases with bone loss.

2) Immediate Dental Implants
Immediate implant is also sometime known as one-day implants, single day implants or same day implants. Immediate dental implants refers to having a tooth removed and the dental implant post sugery placed into the jaw bone during the same surgical visit. Immediate implant benefits are shorter treatment time and less trips or visits as implant posts is inserted immediately after tooth extractio, less trauma and reduces the need of an additional visit for surgical opening gums for implant post placement.

3) Immediate Load Dental Implants
Immediate load dental implants refers to having the fixed normally a crown or overdentures, loaded or fitted onto the implant post during the same period or after the implant post is embedded into the jaw. Immediate load implants are only done for cases with good bone support and density.

Type of dental implant restorations

Dental Implants are a variety of combinations of prosthetics over the dental implants for each type of dental implant restorations:

1) Single tooth Implant
The single implant restoration consists of three parts are tooth root, abutment and composes of a crown fitted onto the implant post. The single tooth implant acts as a new tooth root with a crown over the tooth. Sometimes, immediate and immediate load implants might be done for single tooth implants.

2) Multiple Tooth Implants with bridges
If multiple teeth are missing within the same region several single tooth implants may be used to restore the missing gap with implants and fixed bridges over the dental implant post may be done to restore missing gaps more economically.

3) Full Mouth Tooth Implants
When full mouth missing gaps or in a condition that all teeth need to be replaced with dental implants.
- Dentures Implants
- Dental Bridge Implants
- ProArch Immediate Function Implants

Full Mouth Tooth Implants Types

1) Dental Implants with Overdentures
The solution of implants with overdentures are Mini-implants, Locator mini-implants and Conventional dental implants. Consult your dentist to find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.
- Mini-implants with overdentures
- Locator Mini-implants with overdentures
- Conventional Dental Implants with overdentures

2) Dental Implants with Fixed Bridges
Dental Implants with Fixed Bridges is similar to having replace implants with a new set of bridges over each dental implant post. There are no natural teeth available for fixed bridge abutment support.

3) ProArch Implants with Hybrid Fixed Bridges
For the ProArch(All-on-4 and All-on-6) immediate function dental implants completed within a period of about 14 day. After the dental implant posts are embedded into the jaw, an acrylic hybrid bridge is made and fitted almost immediately over the implant posts and locked into place.
