Implants are a permanent solution
Implants are the optimal solution for:
- The replacement of a missing tooth
- As an anchor for a partial or full denture
These multi-step procedures require specialist dentists – Prosthodontists, Oral Surgeons, or Periodontists. Beyond general dentistry, Sage Dental specialists have received years of additional training in their fields. Having them on-staff at Sage Dental means they partner with your general dentist – so you get the team you need. We call it a Total Care Solution.
How Does an Implant Work?
Unlike other oral replacements, a dental implant does not require the support of other teeth. With dental implants, a titanium post is used to fuse together the artificial root (post) with the surrounding bone. Following dental implant procedures, the bone heals around the implant and holds it in place just like the root of the original tooth.
Dental implants are also used to support other integral dental prosthetics such as removable dentures, permanent bridges and crowns. Dental implants also ensure dentures never fall out, which means you can eat and smile with confidence.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Single-tooth implants: No treatment to the surrounding teeth.
Dentures and bridges can be permanently fixed to the implant or they can be clipped on/off. The firm anchoring means that whether they’re removable or fixed, they provide a significantly better experience (eating/speaking/feeling) than standard dentures.
Three Most Common Applications for Implants
1. Single-tooth implants: No treatment to the surrounding teeth
Dentures and bridges can be permanently fixed to the implant or they can be clipped on/off. The firm anchoring means that whether they’re removable or fixed, they provide a significantly better experience (eating/speaking/feeling) than standard dentures.
2. Implant-supported bridge: Integration to the jawbone supports other teeth
3. Implant-supported denture
Many times, an implant-supported denture procedure can be completed in one day. In more complex cases the treatment plan may span several months. At Sage Dental we perform the complete procedure, so you won’t need a referral and you won’t have to worry about out-of-network complications.
Our periodontist or oral surgeon will surgically place the implant. Our general dentist can then fit a crown to complete the process. For more complicated bridges and dentures the design and fit will be conducted by our on-staff prosthodontist.
