Often the best solution to replace a missing tooth, a dental implant simulates the look, feel, and function of natural tooth without any destruction to the remaining natural teeth. Implants can stabilize the bite, maintain jawbone structure, help prevent bone loss, and restore chewing function and esthetics following a tooth extraction. Every dental implant journey starts with a consultation and exam so Dr. Knabe can evaluate your gums and jawbone and determine the right dental implant treatment for your specific needs.
The process to receive dental implants includes surgical placement of an implant screw into the jaw (in place of the root of a natural tooth), followed by restoration with a custom-made abutment and crown that fit into the implant to restore function. Dr. Knabe works closely with our local oral surgeons to achieve an excellent outcome for our patients needing implants.
Dental implants are small anchors made of a biocompatible material that are placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth in the mouth. After placement, the anchors will begin to fuse with the bone over the course of a few months. After the fusing process, known as osseointegration, abutment posts are inserted into the anchors to allow for the permanent attachment of the replacement teeth.
An implant supported bridge is a restorative solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. This restoration typically requires two implants to support the bridge that provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for a patient’s natural teeth.
Because of the natural look and feel and the functional stability provided by the implants, implant supported bridges are an effective solution to replace multiple missing teeth.
A dental implant supported bridge replaces missing teeth by placing two or more dental implants to support the bridge instead of the adjacent teeth. These implants avoid putting any additional stress on your natural teeth and help preserve the health and function of the surrounding bone tissue and teeth.
An implant supported denture requires the placement of four to six dental implants as “anchors” to provide a sturdier fit and minimal mobility for your denture. With implant supported dentures, there is no plate covering the roof of the mouth, so speaking and eating are more natural and comfortable than with traditional dentures. For qualifying patients, our doctors may be able to complete the removal of all teeth and the placement of a temporary arch on the same day.
Available for full or partial dentures, implant retained dentures require the placement of two or more dental implants to secure the dentures in the mouth. This type of denture will “snap” onto the implants and can be removed for cleaning at night.
