Our team at
Electchester Dental and Orthodontics can replace a full upper or lower arch of missing teeth with dental implants in just one day. These implants support a fixed bridge which gives the look and feel of natural teeth. Patients will no longer have to suffer with ill-fitting dentures or the effects of tooth loss. These teeth are highly aesthetic, functional, and a permanent, non-removable solution to conventional dentures that tend not to stay in place. With our new 3D scanning and printing technology no longer will you have to deal with gooey impressions that are less accurate. On the day your implants are placed, you will be leaving our office smiling with a full set of teeth. You’ll find by the end of this process that you can once again bite into a steak or crisp apple and smile with confidence.
Our patients have seen their overall health improve markedly once receiving their implant supported fixed bridge. Our diabetic and hypertension patients see their HbA1c and blood pressure return to normal because they can now properly chew and digest their food. Please call and schedule your free consultation with us at Glen Oaks Dental Professionals to discuss this life changing procedure.
The process to replace a single missing or failing tooth is simple. The tooth is removed, if necessary, and the implant screw is placed deep into the remaining bone. Bone grafting material may need to be placed to secure the implant into the bone and ensure long-term success. A temporary restoration is placed over the implant for esthetics. A few months later, a final beautiful porcelain crown is made to perfectly fill the missing tooth space.
Similar to replacing a single tooth, implants can be used to replace a set of missing or damaged teeth. There is no need to place an implant for each missing tooth, as the implant anchors can be spaced out to provide adequate support. This saves the patient money and the need for additional procedures to ensure the health of additional implants.
This procedure involves removing all the upper or lower teeth and replacing them with implant-supported teeth. A minimum of 4 dental implants are needed to secure permanent teeth to the upper or lower jaw. These teeth are highly aesthetic and functional, allowing patients to rest with comfort as they eat the foods they enjoy. Dental training is needed to remove these restorations, performed by our staff twice a year for cleanings and to inspect implant components as needed.
Patients are sometimes required to wear dentures, and when they do, implants can greatly enhance the function and appearance of dentures. Implants work to secure loose dentures, eliminating the need for messy adhesives and relieving painful sore spots. They also prevent food impaction under the denture and reduce the need for extra plastic to make the dentures secure. The end result is slimmer, lighter, more functional denture that allows the patient to eat better, speak better, and live better!
