Missing one or more teeth can make it difficult to bite and chew properly. It’s also common to feel self-conscious when talking, laughing, or socializing. Losing most or all of your teeth can even alter your facial appearance. Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth due to their natural look and durability. They help patients restore their oral health by bringing back their confident smiles and restoring their regular eating and speaking habits. Our dental implant specialists in Key West, FL, excel in using advanced surgical technology and top-quality materials to provide the best dental implant outcomes. With our expertise, you can restore your quality of life with advanced dental implants and maintain it indefinitely.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are permanently anchored to the jawbone, after which the metal implant fuses with the bone through a process called "osseointegration." This creates a strong bond similar to that of a natural tooth root. Once integrated, implants are stable, long-lasting, and functional teeth, just like the real ones. These implants have three main components:
A dental implant is a screw-like post that provides a secure foundation for the new tooth. The implant is inserted into the jaw bone.
The abutment is not visible in your mouth, but it connects your new tooth to the titanium implant.
The tooth (crown) or teeth (bridge) that will be seen when you smile is called a crown, similar in function to those placed after a root canal. Our skilled dental implant specialists use high-quality materials such as porcelain or zirconia to create natural-looking, durable crowns. Your new teeth will be specifically tailored to match the size, shape, and color of your original teeth using state-of-the-art imaging and expert craftsmanship.
Dental implants can support a single crown, a dental bridge, or an entire arch of replacement teeth. The nature of the treatment is tailored to the patient's specific needs. With dental implants, individuals can relish life's simple pleasures, such as eating their favorite foods and smiling confidently in family photos. High-quality dental implants enhance not only your oral health but also your overall quality of life.
Our team of specialists can replace your single missing tooth with a natural-looking, tooth-colored dental crown placed on a single dental implant. The single-tooth implant will be customized to match the surrounding teeth, ensuring that no one will notice that a tooth was ever missing.
When multiple teeth are broken or missing, an implant-supported bridge offers an effective solution for restoring dental function. This involves strategically placing dental implants to support a custom bridge. An implant-supported bridge not only improves the appearance of your smile but also ensures proper biting and chewing habits.
Our implant-supported dentures offer patients a stable foundation for a beautiful and functional smile. Unlike traditional dentures, they don’t require dental adhesives to stay securely in place. These dentures can be easily removed for proper cleaning, yet due to the implant supports, they also help prevent bone recession.
Full-mouth dental implants are often the optimal choice for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth. This all-encompassing solution involves strategically placing four or more implant posts in the jawbone to securely anchor the restoration. This method guarantees that the implants are stable and functional, offering an experience similar in function and appearance to natural teeth.
