If you want a long-term solution for dental restoration, then implants are often the treatment of choice after tooth extraction. Missing teeth can lead to shifting within the mouth, often causing other dental complications if the gap is left open. Teeth implants are an effective option if you would like to minimize future issues and restore your smile’s appearance and function at the same time.

Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
The placement of teeth implants takes a few appointments, but the long-term results are worth the effort. The first step is to insert the implant post into the jawbone, where the tooth is missing. This post works like the root of the tooth and is secured into the jawbone to provide a strong foundation for the restoration.
If one tooth is missing, then the implant can be a standalone tooth replacement topped with a crown. For patients missing multiple teeth, implants can provide the base to support dentures or a bridge. We’ll discuss your unique needs and help you in deciding on the best treatment plan for you to replace missing teeth and regain your smile.
What are All-on-Four Implants?
All on 4 dental implants and dentures, also commonly known as implant-supported dentures, provide a durable, fast way to fully restore a smile. This treatment helps you to replace all teeth and avoid the common issues from traditional dentures, such as discomfort and dental prosthetics that don’t stay in place. The technology for All on Four implants involves careful placement of four dental implants. Then, the dentures secure to the top of the implant posts. As a result, you have a robust and sturdy smile while talking and eating.
Investing in implant-supported dentures is a great way to improve the overall quality of life, especially if you are looking to replace all teeth with implants. Many patients find that All on 4 implants feel and function like their natural teeth. These implants and dentures can be used on one or both jaws, depending on the unique needs of each patient.
Dental Implant FAQs
How do I know if I'm a right candidate for implants?
Many patients can benefit from dental implants, but it’s important to schedule a consultation to discuss your unique situation. For example, if bone loss has occurred, then you might not have enough of a foundation to support the implant post. Our team offers personalized treatment plans for every patient, so we are happy to discuss implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, and other restoration options.
What is the cost of an implant?
The price of your treatment depends on the specific services that are required. For example, the price for a single implant and crown will be lower than the cost for full All-on-Four dentures. The best way to get an estimate for the work is by scheduling a consultation with our team at East Erie Dental. Remember that implants can be an excellent investment since they are durable enough to last a lifetime.
Will insurance pay for my tooth implant?
Insurance coverage varies depending on your provider, so it’s important to check on the details of your insurance plan before the treatment. It’s possible that you might be able to receive partial payment for the implant restoration, helping to offset your out-of-pocket expenses.
