Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Dr. Fishbein and his dental care team are proud to offer the only permanent solution for missing teeth – dental implants. This innovative solution replaces missing teeth, including the visible portion of the tooth and the root. The result is a natural look and feel that functions like your natural teeth for years of healthy smiles.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants have three distinct sections. The implant itself, made of titanium or zirconia, is a screw placed in the jawbone to replace the missing tooth’s root. A crown or dental prosthetic replaces the visible portion of the missing tooth. An abutment, a slender pin or fastener, joins it to the implant. These three sections work together to function like a natural tooth. Once the implant is placed in the jawbone, it bonds with the surrounding bone, establishing a stable foundation for the artificial teeth.

Dental implants preserve a healthy jawbone by stimulating bone growth, helping maintain the positions of any remaining natural teeth, and preserving facial contours. They are also more comfortable than dentures and do not have to be removed for sleeping or cleaning.

Why You Should Replace Missing Teeth

Even one missing tooth negatively impacts your oral and overall health over time. If you do not replace missing teeth, a domino effect of dental health issues can result, including:

• Missing teeth lead to the shifting of remaining teeth.
• Empty tooth sockets can trap debris, leading to gum disease and cavities.
• Missing teeth make chewing, eating, and speaking difficult.
• Missing teeth cause jawbone deterioration, giving your face a sunken appearance.
• The longer teeth are missing, the more expensive they are to replace.
• When teeth are not replaced, more severe problems develop down the road.
• Missing teeth can make you self-conscious.

Types of Dental Implants we offer:

Several types of dental implants are available depending on the individual patient’s needs. Dr. Fishbein performs in-office dental implant surgery in a hospital-style operating suite for optimal patient safety.

• Single Tooth Implant – A single crown replaces one missing tooth — each prosthetic tooth attaches to its implant.
• Fixed Bridge Implant – A permanent fixed bridge can replace two or more teeth and may require only two or three implants.
• Full Arch Dental Implant—A complete fixed bridge replaces all your upper or lower jaw teeth. The number of implants varies depending on which type of complete prosthesis (removable or fixed) is recommended.
• Implant-Supported Denture—A removable prosthesis (overdenture) attaches to a bar or ball-in-socket attachment. In contrast, a fixed prosthesis is permanent and removable only by a professional.
