Dental Implants at Horizon Dental: Your Path to a Perfect Smile

Why Choose Dental Implants Over Other Tooth Replacement Options?

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, you have several options. However, dental implants offer unique advantages that make them the gold standard for tooth replacement.

Superior Stability and Function

Unlike traditional dentures that can slip or click when you speak or eat, dental implants are permanently anchored into your jawbone. This means you can:

• Eat all your favorite foods without worry
• Speak clearly and confidently
• Smile without fear of movement or displacement
• Maintain your natural facial structure

Long-Term Durability

While bridges typically last 10-15 years and dentures need regular adjustments, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. This makes them a smart investment in your oral health and quality of life.

Preserve Your Natural Teeth

Traditional bridges require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth to support the replacement tooth. Dental implants eliminate this need, preserving your remaining natural teeth and maintaining better overall oral health.

Prevent Bone Loss

When you lose a tooth, the underlying jawbone begins to deteriorate. Dental implants stimulate the bone just like natural tooth roots, preventing this bone loss and maintaining your facial structure.

Understanding All-On-Four Implant Dentures

For patients missing multiple teeth or facing full tooth extraction, All-On-Four implant dentures provide an innovative solution that combines the stability of implants with the comprehensive coverage of dentures.

Full Arch All-On-Four Solutions

Our full arch All-On-Four treatment replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. This approach offers several benefits:

• Immediate Results: You can often leave our office with temporary teeth on the same day as your implant surgery
• Cost-Effective: Fewer implants mean lower costs compared to individual implant placement
• Faster Healing: Strategic implant placement maximizes your existing bone structure
• Enhanced Stability: Your new teeth are securely anchored and won’t slip or move

Partial All-On-Four Options

If you’re missing several teeth in a row but still have healthy natural teeth, partial All-On-Four implant dentures might be perfect for you. These solutions:

• Replace multiple missing teeth with fewer implants
• Preserve your remaining healthy teeth
• Restore full chewing function
• Blend seamlessly with your natural smile

What to Expect During Your Dental Implant Procedure

We understand that knowing what to expect can help ease any anxiety about your treatment. Our team will guide you through each step of your dental implant journey.

Initial Consultation and Planning

Your implant journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation including:

• Digital X-rays and 3D imaging to assess bone density
• Complete oral health examination
• Discussion of your goals and expectations
• Creation of your personalized treatment plan

Implant Placement Surgery

On the day of your surgery, we ensure your comfort with local anesthesia and sedation options if desired. The procedure typically involves:

• Precise placement of titanium implants into your jawbone
• Temporary tooth placement (when appropriate)
• Post-operative care instructions for optimal healing

Healing and Integration Period

The healing process, called osseointegration, typically takes 3-6 months. During this time:

• Your implants fuse with your natural bone
• We provide temporary teeth to maintain your appearance
• Regular check-ups ensure proper healing
• We monitor your progress and address any concerns

Final Restoration Placement

Once your implants have fully integrated, we complete your treatment by:

• Taking precise impressions for your permanent teeth
• Crafting your custom restorations in our partner lab
• Placing your beautiful, permanent teeth
• Making final adjustments for perfect fit and comfort
