Implants Firmly Secure Your Replacement Teeth

If you thought there wasn’t really a good solution to your missing teeth other than conventional dentures, you’re in for a surprise. Teeth implants are one of the greatest innovations in modern dentistry. They are inserted in your jawbone where you are missing teeth and function as replacement teeth roots.

Our implants are made from titanium, a metal that will actually integrate with your jawbone. The two will become one and form a sturdy base for your replacement teeth. In most cases, your implants will last you a lifetime without any special care on your part.

Dr. Bobier can place implants for many different types of implant restoration, including:

Single Implants – We can insert a single implant into your jaw where you are missing a tooth. After a healing period, your dentist will secure a beautiful crown to the top and restore your bite.
Implant-Supported Bridges – If you have several missing teeth in a row, Dr. Bobier will place at least two implants in the open space. Soon, you’ll have all your teeth back and smile with confidence.
Implant-Retained Dentures – Your new teeth will anchor to a set of dental implants using a system of snaps and balls. They’ll stay firmly put, so you won’t have to worry about them popping out of place while eating, talking, or laughing.
Implant-Supported Dentures – These dentures are similar to implant-retained dentures except that they will secure to a sturdy metal bar that is attached to your implants. They are the most comfortable type of dentures as they transfer biting and chewing forces directly to your jawbone
All-on-4^® and All-on-6 Implants – Your dentist can anchor a full arch of fixed teeth after we place a minimal number of implants, either four or six, respectively. You won’t have to remove these teeth for cleaning or care.

Common Questions About Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that serve as artificial teeth roots when you’ve lost one or more teeth. Dr. Bobier can insert them into your jawbone, where they will integrate with your bone and become a sturdy base for replacement teeth. Your dental implant restoration options include crowns, bridges, dentures, All-on-4^®, and All-on-6.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost for dental implants can vary widely depending on how many implants you need, where they’re located, and the condition of your jawbone. You also need to figure in the cost of restoring the implants with new replacement teeth. Your general dentist will be able to help you with that aspect of your dental implant treatment.

Can dental implants be removed?

In theory, dental implants could be removed from your jaw, but there is seldom any reason to do so. Once placed, implants fuse with your jawbone and become one with it. They are designed to last for decades, and maybe even the rest of your life, without requiring any special care or maintenance.

Are dental implants painful?

Our team will make sure that your implants procedure is as comfortable as possible. During the placement of your implants, we’ll make sure your mouth is completely numb. Dental sedation is also available if you’re uneasy about your procedure. After the implants are placed, you should have very little if any discomfort while your jaw heals.
