Teeth are important for much more than chewing food. Your teeth play a vital role in your speech, maintaining your facial structure and contributing to your confidence through your smile. Missing teeth can therefore have a big impact on your confidence as well as the function of your mouth. At Modesto Dentistry and Implants, we provide services for specialty dental implants. Our services are designed to not only restore your smile but also restorative function and better oral health in the long term.
Have you lost a tooth or several teeth? Dental implants are a great option for tooth replacement. They are a long-term solution that provides you with replacements that function and look just like natural teeth.
The dental implant process involves the surgical insertion of an implant (a screw-like structure) into the jaw bone. The jaw grows and fuses with the implant. This keeps it in place, providing a strong and stable foundation for the replacement teeth.
We are specialists in dental implant treatments. This means that our dentists have received specialty training in dental implant procedures. Our dentists have extensive experience in providing patients with varied dental implant treatments. We have the training and experience to deal with the complexities that come with dental restoration and dental implant procedures.
There are two types of dental implants available from our clinic. These are:
Endosteal dental implants:
These are the most common types of dental implants used. These implants feature a screw, blade, or cylinder that is surgically placed in the jawbone. The implant supports the prosthetic teeth.
Subperiosteally dental implants:
These implants are used when the patient does not have adequate bone tissue in their jawbone to support the conventional implants. These implants are placed above the jawbone within the gum tissue. The metal framework protrudes through the gum to hold the artificial tooth or teeth.
We offer a variety of dental implant procedures at Modesto Dentistry and Implants. These include:
Single tooth implants:
If you’re only missing a single tooth, this procedure would be ideal. It involves the placement of a single implant and a crown. This procedure replaces the tooth without the need to extract neighboring teeth.
Implant bridge:
This is ideal if you’re missing more than one tooth in the same area of the mouth. Two or more implants are inserted to support a bridge.
Full teeth replacement:
This is ideal for those that have lost several teeth missing on their lower or upper jaws. This solution offers greater stability than traditional dentures. Implants are inserted and a denture is fitted over the gum and snapped into place. The implants provide the dentures with support. The dentures can be removed for cleaning by the patient.
Full mouth reconstruction:
This is an involving procedure that consists of the replacement of the upper or lower jaw. Multiple implants are installed throughout the arch used to replace the jaw. Crowns and bridges are then fitted on the implants
