Implant Dentistry
At Granada Dental, we are committed to helping patients restore their smiles with personalized dental care. Dental implants are a treatment option for replacing missing teeth, restoring chewing function, and improving the appearance of your smile. Our team will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment based on your oral health, goals, and individual needs.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are designed to replace missing tooth roots. They consist of small posts placed in the jawbone that can support restorations such as dental crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures. With proper care and regular dental visits, dental implants can provide a durable, natural-looking tooth replacement option.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Replace one or more missing teeth.
- Restore chewing ability and everyday comfort.
- Provide support for crowns, bridges, and dentures.
- Help maintain jawbone structure after tooth loss.
- Create a natural-looking smile.
Our Implant Dentistry Services
Single Dental Implants
A single dental implant can replace an individual missing tooth. Once the implant has healed and is ready for restoration, a custom dental crown is attached to complete the replacement.
Implant-Supported Bridges
For patients missing several adjacent teeth, an implant-supported bridge may provide a stable alternative to a traditional bridge. Dental implants support the replacement teeth without relying on neighboring natural teeth for support.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 treatment is designed to replace a full arch of missing or failing teeth using a strategically planned implant-supported restoration. Candidacy depends on your oral health, bone structure, and individual treatment needs.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures use dental implants to improve the stability and retention of replacement teeth. This option may help reduce the movement associated with conventional removable dentures and improve everyday confidence.
Preparatory Procedures for Dental Implants
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting may be recommended when there is insufficient jawbone volume to support dental implants. This procedure helps rebuild or strengthen the area before implant placement when appropriate.
Sinus Augmentation
Sinus augmentation, also known as a sinus lift, may be recommended when additional bone height is needed in the upper jaw to support dental implants. Your dentist will evaluate your anatomy and determine whether this procedure is appropriate.
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation helps rebuild the natural contour of the jawbone when bone loss has affected the shape or volume of the ridge. Depending on your needs, this procedure may improve the foundation for future implant placement.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implant treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, gums, jawbone, and overall oral health. Factors such as bone density, gum health, medical history, and lifestyle habits may influence your treatment plan. Our team will explain your options and help you understand the recommended next steps.
