A missing tooth can have long-term and serious consequences for the health and appearance of your smile and your self-esteem. Traditional tooth replacement options have been available for many years, but only dental implants provide a self-contained and predictable solution that improves your overall oral health for the rest of your life.
Dental implants are non-invasive and help to maintain your neighboring teeth, closely resembling natural teeth more than any other type of tooth replacement available today. At Aldie Dental Care, Dr. Rivera can handle your entire implant treatment from start to finish.
Types of Dental Implants
Dental implants are biocompatible "roots" made from titanium that are surgically implanted into your jawbone. Once they are placed, they serve as a foundation for a fixed restoration on top of them. Depending on the number of missing teeth, our most popular implant restorations include:
Single-Tooth Implants
If you are missing a single tooth or if your missing teeth are dispersed throughout your mouth, individual dental implants are combined with single porcelain crowns to fill in those spaces. Brushing and flossing around single implants and crowns are similar to brushing or flossing around natural teeth because they are self-contained.
Full-Arch Implants
To replace all of your teeth at once, you can use an implant-supported prosthesis called an All-on-4 denture. Depending on the type you select, your restoration may be permanently anchored in place or removable. Even if you require more, a fixed All-on-6 configuration is simple to create.
Mini Implants
Mini dental implants are a same-day dental implant option for people who only need one or two teeth replaced. Mini implants, which are smaller and slimmer than traditional dental implants, can be placed in one appointment and have a permanent restoration bonded over them the same day.
