Our Implant Services
Whether you need a single tooth replaced or are seeking a full smile transformation, Innovation Dental has a range of dental implant solutions designed to fit your needs.
Single Dental Implants
If you’re missing a single tooth, a dental implant is the gold standard for replacement. Unlike a bridge—which requires altering adjacent teeth—a single implant stands independently, preserving your natural tooth structure.
Long-Term Durability:
With proper care, implants can last for decades.
Natural Appearance:
Custom crowns blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Bone Health:
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients missing multiple teeth—or entire arches—implant-supported dentures offer stability that traditional removable dentures simply can’t match. By anchoring the denture to two or more implants, you’ll experience:
Improved Chewing and Speaking:
No more slipping or adhesive worries.
Increased Comfort:
Less irritation to the gums and more confidence in everyday activities.
Easier Maintenance:
Snap-in designs can be removed for cleaning, maintaining hygiene with ease.
Full Arch Fixed Restorations
Also known as “All-on-4” or “All-on-X,” this solution uses strategically placed implants to support a permanent, fixed bridge across an entire arch of missing teeth.
Immediate Transformation:
Often, you’ll leave with a temporary prosthesis the same day as implant placement.
Stable, Secure Fit:
No slipping or removing your teeth each night—these restorations feel and function like natural teeth.
Life-Changing Results:
Regain a confident smile and the ability to eat, speak, and laugh without worry.
Zirconia Bridges
For patients seeking top-tier aesthetics and robust durability, zirconia bridges are an excellent choice. Zirconia is an advanced ceramic known for its:
High Strength:
Resistant to cracks, chips, and wear.
Natural Translucency:
Mimics the look of real teeth.
Biocompatibility:
Gentle on the gums, reducing irritation or allergic reactions.
We often pair zirconia with guided implant surgery to ensure precise placement, resulting in a long-lasting, picture-perfect smile.
Immediate Load Implants
Traditionally, implants require a healing period of several months before attaching a restoration. However, immediate load implants (sometimes referred to as “teeth in a day”) allow for a temporary crown or bridge to be placed right after your implant surgery.
Reduced Treatment Time:
Gain functional teeth much sooner.
Fewer Appointments:
Ideal for busy lifestyles.
Careful Selection:
Our team will determine if you’re a suitable candidate, considering factors like bone quality and overall health.
Guided Implant Surgery
Precision is key to a successful dental implant. We employ guided implant surgery using 3D imaging and computer-assisted planning to:
Optimize Implant Position:
Precisely place each implant for maximum stability and best cosmetic outcomes.
Minimize Tissue Trauma:
Smaller incisions and less downtime.
Enhance Predictability:
Reduced risk of complications and faster healing.
This state-of-the-art approach is part of our mission to deliver exceptional, comfortable implant procedures with minimal disruption to your busy life.
The Implant Process: What to Expect
Consultation & Evaluation:
-We begin with a thorough exam, including X-rays or 3D scans, to assess bone structure and oral health.
-Our doctors will discuss your smile goals and outline a custom treatment plan.
Implant Placement:
-Under local anesthesia (and sedation options if desired), we precisely place your implant(s) using guided surgery or a conventional method, depending on your case.
-A healing period follows, during which the implant integrates with your jawbone.
Abutment & Restoration:
-Once healed, we attach an abutment—a connector piece—to the implant.
-A custom crown, zirconia bridge, or full arch prosthesis is then crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Ongoing Care & Maintenance:
-With regular checkups and good oral hygiene, your new implants can last a lifetime.
-Our team provides ongoing support to ensure you continue smiling confidently for years to come.
