The Impacts of Tooth Loss
Losing a tooth can have significant impacts on both your dental health and overall well-being. Without a replacement, tooth loss can lead to:
- Bone Loss: Missing teeth can cause the jawbone to deteriorate over time.
- Shifting Teeth: Adjacent teeth may shift into the gap, leading to misalignment.
- Difficulty Chewing and Speaking: Missing teeth can make eating and speaking challenging.
- Reduced Self-Esteem: Many individuals feel self-conscious about their appearance when they have missing teeth.
Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are a durable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. This post provides a stable foundation for a replacement tooth, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.
Signs It's Time to See the Dentist About Implants
If you are experiencing any of the following, it may be time to consider dental implants:
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Pain or discomfort in the jaw
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Insecure about your smile
- Wearing dentures that are uncomfortable or do not fit well
Our Implant Services
At Abka Dental, we understand that each patient's needs are unique. That's why we offer a comprehensive range of dental implant services, ensuring you receive the best solution for your individual situation. Our implant services are designed to restore your smile, improve function, and enhance your overall quality of life.
Subperiosteal Implants
Subperiosteal implants are an excellent option for patients who lack sufficient bone height in their jaw and are not suitable candidates for traditional implants. These implants are placed on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue, providing a stable base for prosthetic teeth.
Ideal for Minimal Bone Height
Perfect for patients who do not have enough bone mass for endosteal implants.
Custom-Fit Design
Subperiosteal implants are custom-made to fit the contours of your jaw, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
Less Invasive Procedure
This type of implant often requires a less invasive surgical procedure compared to bone grafting for endosteal implants.
All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 implants offer a cost-effective and efficient solution for patients needing to replace an entire arch of teeth. Using only four strategically placed implants, this method provides a secure base for a full set of replacement teeth.
Fewer Implants Needed
Only four implants are required to support a full arch, reducing surgery time and recovery.
Immediate Functionality
Patients often receive a temporary set of teeth on the same day as the implant surgery.
Enhanced Stability
The strategic placement of implants maximizes stability and support for the prosthetic teeth.
Teeth-in-a-Day
Teeth-in-a-Day is a revolutionary approach that allows for the placement of a full set of teeth on the same day as your implant surgery. This method is ideal for patients who want immediate results and minimal downtime.
