Dental Implant Options for Restoring Your Smile’s Beauty

Has it been a while since you’ve felt happy about your smile? Are missing teeth keeping you from enjoying a high quality of life? We can help resolve missing teeth issues with dental implant treatment at West Suburban Oral Health Care in Naperville, Illinois. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several teeth or need to have all your teeth removed, there are dental implant options for you! 

About Dental Implants

Implants are the closest you’ll ever get to natural teeth in terms of appearance, feel, and function, making them the preferred option for dental prosthetics. Traditional dentures and bridges can’t compare to the stability and security offered by dental implants. 

Implants comprise a crown, abutment, and titanium post or screw, which is surgically implanted into your jaw to replace the missing tooth root. It’s this implant post that makes the difference. 

Over time, it will fuse with your bone system to become a permanent foundation for your new teeth. Once the implant has healed, Drs. Susan Mazzei, Kelsey Esposito, or Ashley Ngyuen will attach the abutment and prosthetic on top to restore your smile’s function and beauty.

Dental Implant Options

Like most restorative treatments, implants give you options for meeting your smile needs. These new teeth options include:

• Single tooth implants to replace individual missing teeth
• Implant bridge to replace multiple missing teeth in a row and 
• Implant-supported dentures to replace all of your teeth if they have to be removed due to dental disease.

With single-tooth implants, Drs. Mazzei, Esposito, and Ngyuen will use a dental crown as your replacement tooth. The crown is attached to the abutment, which is attached to the implant embedded in your jaw. This keeps your new tooth firmly in place when you talk and chew. Your dental crown will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth.

An implant bridge can be designed to fill the gap left by two, three, or four consecutive missing teeth. The bridge will be supported by implants on either side of the gap to keep it stable and secure. We’ll create a bridge that closely resembles the size, shape, and color of adjacent natural teeth to give your smile a natural-looking appearance. Most importantly, your bridge will fully restore your chewing power so that you can enjoy all your favorite foods again. 

Losing all your teeth will significantly impact your dental health, lifestyle, and appearance. Our doctors can help minimize that impact with implant-supported dentures. All-on-4 implant treatment can restore an entire arch of teeth, upper and lower, to give you back the beauty and function of your smile. The implants will be placed strategically in your jaw to support custom-fitted dentures designed for your use adequately. With implant-supported dentures, you’ll smile, talk, and eat with confidence and ease.
