If you're tired of dealing with the hassles of removable dentures or partials, dental implants will change your life! Implants are the preferred method of replacing teeth for dentists and patients alike, because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, where they naturally fuse with your bone tissue to form solid anchors for crowns, bridges, and overdentures.
Dr. Ton's extensive training in implant dentistry gives him the ability to provide all of your implant care right here in our Oakley dental office. Once your implant has successfully integrated with your bone, he will work with you to determine which restoration method is right for you.
Dental implants can be used in everything from single tooth replacements to full mouth reconstructions. Whether you’re missing one tooth or many teeth, there’s an implant option for you.
One of the greatest advantages of single dental implants is that they enable Dr. Ton to replace a missing tooth without having to use the surrounding teeth for support. Once an implant has been successfully placed and topped with a beautiful restoration, no one will ever know it’s not your own natural tooth! Healthy and properly maintained implants can last a lifetime.
An implant-supported bridge is an excellent way to replace multiple teeth. Bridges can usually be attached to one or two implants, depending on the size and location of the bridge. Unlike traditional dental bridges, implant-supported bridges don’t require Dr. Ton to shave down the teeth next to the missing tooth. You also don’t have to remove an implant-supported bridge to clean it every day, though you will need to take extra care when flossing to make sure the area between the bridge and your gums stays clean.
An overdenture is a special type of denture designed to fit over existing teeth or connect to an implant. In the case of an implant-supported overdenture, the prosthetic is held in place by implants rather than resting directly on the gums. You’ll save your soft tissues from a lot of discomfort, and you’ll also enjoy better stability and control with an implant-supported overdenture. The best part? Implant-supported dentures don’t require any messy adhesives or pastes, so they’re easier to put in in the morning and clean at night.
We look forward to treating you!
Schedule an AppointmentWhen you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone tends to shrink and soften. The gum tissue can also recede around the space because there is no longer anything there to support it.
Healthy and sufficient bone tissue is crucial for osseointegration, the process by which a dental implant naturally fuses with your jawbone. If Dr. Ton notices any bone loss during your initial exam, he might suggest a bone graft to ensure a more successful outcome.
Dental implants are an excellent option for adults with advanced tooth decay, root canal failure, missing teeth, or severely damaged natural teeth.
The implant procedure can be more complicated for individuals with gum disease, uncontrolled diabetes, immune deficiencies, or a smoking habit. To ensure that you get the treatment that’s right for you, schedule a full dental implant evaluation with Oakley dentist Dr. Trieu Ton.
