Dental Implant Options
One tooth replacement
A single tooth implant is rooted into the bone to replace the root part of one tooth that is missing. The crown is placed on the top to emitate an actual tooth. The implant never decays and feels like the original tooth that was there before.
Multi teeth replacement
This is done when more than one tooth is missing. The implanted teeth may act as support for fixed bridgework.
All teeth replacement
Implants may be used to support an entire replacement of teeth that are permanently fixed into the mouth. This lasts a lifetime and protects the jawbone.

Care and Maintenance of Implants
Dental implants may lose attachment to the bone either through excessive biting force or poor oral hygiene. Proper oral hygiene requires brushing and flossing on a daily basis to prevent bacterial infection. Excessive biting force may result from grinding the teeth or using an insufficient number of implants needed to withstand the pressure. This requires one to have the correct number of implants, avoid grinding the teeth, and if possible use a night guard when sleeping.
