Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures offer patients the benefits that are often associated with implants but at a price point that is more aligned with dentures. Implant supported dentures involve surgery to attach between 4 to 6 implants into a patient’s jawbone. Once the implants fuse properly, a unique set of dentures is designed and affixed to these implants. This gives the patient a much improved smile without many of the disadvantages associated with dentures.
All on 4 or 6 Dental Implants
All on 4 or all on 6 dental implants are used to replace the bulk of someone’s teeth. The difference between All on 4 or All on 6 refers to the number of implants that will be placed on your top and/or bottom jaws. All on 4 implants use 4 implants, 2 that are located on the upper jaw and 2 on the lower jaw. All on 6 implants use an additional 2 implants to better anchor the dental bridges.
Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts
Bone grafts are used to increase the amount of bone in a certain part of the jaw. Bone may be taken from elsewhere in the body and fused to existing bone in the jaw. Bone grafts are often done if a patient has lost one of more adult teeth, or has severe gum disease.
A sinus lift is a procedure that is also often referred to as sinus augmentation, which can help to make it easier for dental implants to be placed. This procedure is often needed when patients have suffered from bone loss and therefore do not have enough support necessary for dental implants.
