Dental Implants At Moser Dentistry & Oral Surgery Implant Center we offer several implant-related treatments to replace one or more missing teeth. We specialize in implant treatment because we believe that dental implants are the ideal solution for tooth loss. What Is a Dental Implant?A dental implant is a titanium screw that we surgically embed deep into the jawbone. Once the implant is in place, it will slowly fuse to your jaw through the process of osseointegration. After a brief healing period, the implant screw will be able to support a restoration against the strongest forces of your bite. Dental implants can be used to support a single crown, a partial bridge, and a full-arch restoration. Benefits of Dental ImplantsDental implants are the next best thing to your natural teeth. This makes implants a more convenient, durable, secure, and aesthetically pleasing option over traditional restorations. The numerous benefits of dental implants have made them the industry standard for tooth replacement! All-on-4® Treatment ConceptWe offer the All-on-4 treatment concept for patients missing all or most of their teeth. As the name suggests, this full-arch restoration only uses four implants to support the entire bridge. The posterior (back) implants are placed at an angle to utilize the strongest part of the jawbone. Other full-arch restorations usually require six to eight implants. Thanks to the revolutionary new technique, All-on-4 is much more effective and minimally-invasive than other options. Single Tooth ImplantA single tooth implant is a durable, natural-looking solution for replacing a missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth. Anchored securely into the jawbone, it restores full function, prevents bone loss, and seamlessly blends with your natural smile—offering long-term strength, comfort, and confidence. Implant-Supported DentureAn implant-supported denture is similar to All-on-4 but usually requires more implants. We may recommend an implant-supported denture if you want a better alternative to traditional dentures. A traditional denture is a removable appliance that rests on the gums. Because it is not secured by implants, many patients experience difficulty eating, discomfort, and even embarrassing slips. Implant Anchored DenturesImplant-anchored dentures provide a secure, stable alternative to traditional removable dentures. By attaching to strategically placed implants, these dentures eliminate slipping, improve chewing efficiency, and enhance comfort. Whether fixed or removable, implant-supported dentures restore confidence and functionality to your smile. Who Is a Candidate?If you are in good oral and overall health, you should qualify for implant treatment. If you have experienced significant bone deterioration due to tooth loss, you may need a bone graft first. During your consultation, Dr. Derrick Flint will be able to determine if implants are right for you. This usually involves a series of diagnostic tests that may include digital x-rays and CBCT scans. Ridge AugmentationMany patients need a bone graft, or ridge augmentation before implantation is possible. Osseointegration, the process responsible for the many benefits of dental implants, requires an adequate amount of bone in the jaw. If osseointegration does not occur, implant failure is virtually guaranteed. Fortunately, we offer ridge augmentation to improve the quantity and quality of deteriorated bone. In many ways, ride augmentation allows patients to receive dental implants when it would otherwise be impossible. Bone GraftingSuccessful implant treatment requires a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw. We may recommend a bone graft if your bone is too thin or too soft to support an implant. A graft can help restore deteriorated bone, and give you a second chance at implant treatment! Dental Implant FAQWe believe patient education is the cornerstone of good oral health. During your initial appointment, Dr. Derrick Flint will be happy to answer any questions you have regarding dental implants. This is also an excellent opportunity for you to voice any concerns. Staying informed can help you better maintain your restoration and prevent potential problems.
