There are various types of dental implant procedures, in our Lansdale, PA office we provide the following implant procedures.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Implant-supported bridges are anchored by dental implants instead of natural teeth. The implants are positioned in your jaw, forming a solid anchor as the bone and implant fuse together over time. Because the implants hold your bridge securely in place, two implants can often replace several missing teeth in a row, and your healthy neighboring teeth don't need to be reshaped.
Your bridge is then created to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Regarded as the most stable bridge option, an implant-supported bridge is typically completed in stages: first, the implants are placed in your jawbone and allowed to heal, then your custom bridge is attached to the implants. An implant-supported bridge lets you enjoy a healthy new smile and renewed confidence in your bite.
Single Tooth Implant
Replacing a single missing tooth with an implant lets you avoid a conventional bridge and preserves your adjacent teeth. Because implants can't develop cavities, they never need root canal treatment, and they have one of the highest long-term success rates of any option for replacing a single tooth.
All-on-4 Full Arch Implant Procedure
With the All-on-4 implant procedure, we can restore an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. In many cases, a temporary set of teeth can be attached the same day, so you leave our Lansdale, PA office with a complete smile while your implants heal. All-on-4 replaces all of your upper or lower teeth with a permanent, natural-feeling set of teeth that function much like natural teeth.
Because they're permanently attached to the implants, All-on-4 teeth won't shift or slip like traditional dentures, and they don't put unwanted pressure on your gums. Eating and biting are much more comfortable. Daily brushing, cleaning beneath the arch with a water flosser or special floss, and regular professional maintenance visits are all that's required to keep them looking great.
More benefits, less cost. All-on-4 requires fewer implants than replacing each tooth individually, making it a cost-effective choice when replacing most or all of your teeth. At Lansdale Dental Arts, we'll discuss all of your options with you to make sure you're getting the best treatment possible.
Same-Day Dental Implants
Implant technology has come a long way. In many cases, it's now possible to place an implant and attach a temporary tooth or set of teeth in a single day, saving you time and helping you get back to the foods you love sooner. The size, type, and method of your implant will vary depending on your personal needs, and our team will walk you through your options at your consultation.
Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts
Bone grafting helps preserve your smile and the natural contour of your jaw by adding grafting material around teeth affected by gum disease or in places where tooth loss has occurred. Placing grafted material in areas of missing teeth strengthens and prepares the sites for dental implants. Rebuilding bone in areas of deterioration provides a firm foundation for your implants to fuse with.
When you lose an upper back tooth, especially to gum disease, there may be little bone left beneath the sinus to support an implant. A sinus lift can resolve that. During the procedure, a small opening is made in the jawbone, and the sinus membrane is gently lifted to create space where your dentist places graft material. Once the area heals, it provides a secure foundation for your implant.
