Our Treatments
What Are Dental Implants?
Implants are small, screw-like tooth root replacements, usually made of titanium, that we surgically place into your jawbone. As the area heals, your implants will integrate with the bone, providing a stable foundation for one, several, or a complete arch of replacement teeth.
Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, dental implants replace both the root and the visible portion of the tooth, making them the most complete and natural-feeling restorative solution available.
Our Implant Solutions
At Fauchard Dentistry, we offer a range of implant restoration options, including the following:
- Single Crown: A single dental implant topped with a custom porcelain crown is an excellent option for replacing one missing tooth, leaving you with a beautiful, stable, and functional smile. This option closely mimics a natural tooth and helps preserve the surrounding bone and neighboring teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: If you are missing two or several adjacent teeth, an implant-supported bridge offers a stable and aesthetic solution to restore your smile without preparing any neighboring healthy teeth. This allows us to restore multiple teeth while protecting your natural tooth structure.
- Implant-Retained Overdenture: These removable implant-supported dentures rely on several implants per arch for support, offering a much more stable and functional alternative to traditional dentures, especially when it comes to the lower arch. Patients often experience dramatically improved comfort, stability, and chewing ability compared to conventional dentures.
What Can You Expect During Your Dental Implant Process?
Dr. Chen will start by using CBCT (cone beam CT) imaging to capture detailed 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding oral structures, ensuring precise treatment planning. This advanced imaging allows us to plan your procedure with a high level of accuracy and safety. Your CBCT scans also help create surgical guides, when indicated, helping position your implants with exceptional precision.
If you have bone loss, Dr. Chen may recommend a bone graft to help rebuild the bone in the area and provide the needed support for your implants. Our goal is always to create a strong, stable foundation to ensure long-term success. The next step is placing one or more implants in your jawbone, depending on the extent of your tooth loss.
Over the few months following placement, your implants will fuse with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, creating a stable and secure foundation for your new crown, bridge, or overdenture. Once the area has healed, Dr. Chen will capture digital impressions of your smile to create your new custom crown, bridge, or overdenture. Your new implant restoration will deliver results second only to healthy, natural teeth.
