When you lose one or more teeth, it affects much more than just your smile. Tooth loss can impact how you chew, speak, and even how your jawbone maintains its structure. Modern dentistry offers highly effective and long-lasting solutions for tooth replacement, including dental implants and all-on-4 implant systems.

Dental Implants

A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from root to crown. It consists of a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, which integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This forms a strong foundation for a custom dental crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Because implants mimic the root structure, they also help prevent bone loss that can occur when teeth are missing. With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, making them one of the most durable and reliable tooth replacement options available.

All-on-4 Implants

For patients missing most or all of their teeth, the all-on-4 system offers a stable, full-arch restoration using just four implants strategically positioned in the jaw. This approach can often eliminate the need for bone grafting and allows for a faster recovery and functional restoration. A full arch of prosthetic teeth is securely anchored to the implants, providing a natural appearance and excellent chewing efficiency.

Both options restore confidence, comfort, and oral health. Choosing between them depends on your bone density, overall health, and treatment goals—factors best evaluated during a personalized consultation with your dentist or implant specialist.
