Dental implants are a popular, permanent, and effective solution to replace missing teeth and restore smiles. There are several types of dental implants that we offer at Mountain State Oral and Facial Surgery, and each one is designed to address a specific need.
All On 4
The All on 4 dental implant technique is a procedure that restores a full arch of teeth with minimally invasive surgery.
It is a practical and efficient solution for individuals who wish to have a secure and lower-maintenance denture.
All on 4 is designed to address the challenges associated with traditional dentures. All on 4 dental implants do not require adhesives, and implanted dentures don't slip like the traditional type.
The All-on-4 method is the strategic placement of only four dental implants in the jawbone to support a full arch of teeth.
The implants are positioned in a way that maximizes contact with the jawbone, and this method sometimes eliminates the need for bone grafting in cases where patients have low bone density in the jaw.
An All-on-4 procedure also provides immediate function. It allows patients to leave our office with a fully restored smile in a single day.
The procedure transforms the lives of many patients by offering them an immediate, stable, and gorgeous set of teeth that improves oral function, as well as appearance.
The All-on-4 technique is a streamlined, secure, and accessible option for comprehensive teeth replacement.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction is a transformative dental procedure. It is designed to address multiple oral health issues and restore both the form and function of the entire mouth.
Full mouth reconstruction is a combination of restorative and cosmetic dental procedures that address severe tooth decay, gum disease, bite misalignment, and tooth loss.
Before reconstruction, we consult with patients and create a customized treatment plan to suit their unique needs.
The plan often incorporates multiple procedures such as dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and periodontal treatments.
The goal of full mouth reconstruction is to improve the health and function of the teeth and gums as well as enhance the appearance of a patient's smile.
Patients undergoing full mouth reconstruction gain full oral function and a gorgeous smile.
This comes with a renewed sense of confidence and well being.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are a secure solution for patients who want to avoid the challenges of traditional, removable dentures.
Conventional dentures that attach with adhesives and suction often slip. Implant-supported dentures are anchored in place into the jawbone.
Typically, a series of four implants are positioned strategically to support a full arch denture. This provides a reliable, comfortable, and slip-free fit.
This procedure enhances the stability of the dentures and also preserves bone density in the jaw. T
he jawbone becomes compromised with prolonged tooth loss, but implants re-stimulate bone growth. This prevents facial sagging from tooth loss.
In addition, implant-supported dentures improve oral function, and the ability to chew and speak.
This gives our patients the confidence to enjoy a diet with fewer restrictions than what comes with traditional removable dentures. Patients are also able to speak freely without fear of their dentures slipping.
Same Day Smile
The Same Day Smile is a dental solution that allows us to provide patients with a complete and functional, full set of teeth in a single day.
We strategically place dental implants that secure full implant dentures. This allows patients to leave the dental office with a brand-new smile on the same day as the procedure.
This is very beneficial for those facing extensive tooth loss, or wearing traditional dentures because this solution offers immediate stability and function.
A Same Day Smile procedure provides a natural-looking and durable solution to extensive tooth loss in a single day.
This rapid transformation restores oral function and creates new confidence in our patients and their smiles.
The benefits of a beautiful and functional smile can be acquired quickly, without the prolonged waiting period that often comes with traditional implant procedures.
Zygomatic Dental Implants
Named after the zygomatic bone, zygomatic dental implants are a specialized solution for individuals with severe bone loss in the upper jaw.
They are necessary when traditional dental implants aren't an option due to insufficient bone structure.
The implants are longer and designed to reach higher to anchor into the cheekbone, instead of the jawbone.
Zygomatic dental implants eliminate the need for bone grafting procedures, which makes them beneficial for patients who aren't good candidates for conventional implants.
This technique provides a stable foundation for the attachment of prosthetic teeth and allows patients with extensive bone loss to enjoy a functional and beautiful full set of new teeth.
Single Tooth Replacement
A single tooth replacement implant is a common dental procedure designed to address the loss of a single tooth.
This procedure is the placement of a small titanium post directly into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth.
Following osseointegration with the surrounding bone, a customized dental crown is secured to the implant, and the tooth is replaced with a custom crown designed to mimic the individual tooth.
This method restores the natural appearance of the smile.
Unlike a bridge, single tooth replacement preserves the integrity of adjacent teeth. Single tooth replacement provides a functional and beautiful smile.
