Dental Implants In Gainesville, FL

Multiple Implants For A Bright & Confident Smile

A dental implant is a titanium screw that goes into the jaw bone where the roots of teeth were. When a patient is missing multiple teeth in an area, more than one implant can often be placed. Once these implants have healed, a fixed bridge, a full-arch removable denture, or a non-removable hybrid denture can be made to restore the teeth in that area.

Implant-supported bridges can replace several teeth in an area and look and function very similarly to natural teeth. When the upper or lower jaw is missing all teeth, implants can be placed that will anchor full arch prostheses. These include overdentures and nonremovable hybrid dentures. If the implant prosthesis is removable, you will be instructed on how to remove your denture and clean around the implants. It is key to the long-term success of implants for the tissue and bone to remain healthy. The implants themselves are permanent. Fixed bridges and non-removable hybrid dentures cannot be removed at home. The dental team will instruct you on how to clean around the implants to maintain their health.

Regular cleanings and maintenance will allow the dental team to monitor your implants for long-term health and success. At Van Dyke General and Implant Dentistry, our implant restorations are designed to mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth. Offering better bite security and a realistic appearance, a quality implant from our dental care team can boost your confidence and make eating, talking, and laughing much easier!
