Dental Implants Reno, NV

Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing teeth that are either severely damaged or completely missing. The procedure involves two essential elements: the implant and the crown. The implant itself is a sturdy post, often made from titanium, which is placed directly into the jawbone to serve as an artificial root. This integration into the bone provides a solid foundation for the crown, which is designed to resemble your natural teeth in both appearance and function. With a dental implant, you can restore your smile and enjoy the confidence of knowing your replacement tooth will stay securely in place, allowing you to eat, speak and smile without concern. The crown, made to match the color, shape and size of your natural teeth, is securely placed on the implant to provide a seamless, aesthetic result.

Types of Dental Implants

Dental implants are a popular choice for restoring both functionality and appearance. They offer a range of benefits, from durability to a natural look. Here are some common types of dental implants:

01

Single-Tooth Replacements

Losing even a single tooth can affect your appearance and the alignment of your other teeth. A dental implant can replace the missing tooth, restoring both function and appearance, and is designed to blend in flawlessly with your natural teeth, offering a virtually undetectable solution.

02

Implant-Supported Bridges

For patients who have lost several teeth in the same area, an implant-supported bridge can be an ideal option. This type of restoration attaches multiple replacement teeth to one or more dental implants, without the need to file down adjacent healthy teeth, unlike traditional bridges.

03

Immediate Implants

For certain cases, it’s possible to place a dental implant immediately after tooth extraction, offering the benefit of filling the gap right away. However, whether this option is viable depends on factors such as bone health and the complexity of the extraction, and is assessed individually by the dentist.

04

Full-Arch Restoration

When multiple or all teeth are missing, full-arch restoration can fully rebuild your smile. Also known as “All-on-Four® implants” or “full-mouth dental implants,” this procedure replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using at least four implants, offering a durable, aesthetic solution that functions like natural teeth.

Aesthetics

No one likes to deal with noticeable gaps in their smile. With dental implants, that concern becomes a thing of the past! When properly placed, implants seamlessly blend in with your natural teeth and, with the right care, can last for a lifetime.

Cost

While dental implants may require a larger initial investment compared to removable dentures or bridges, their stability, natural appearance, and minimal upkeep make them a popular choice for those looking for a long-term solution.

Everything You Need To Know About Dental Implants

It is common to have questions when you are considering a procedure, particularly one that involves surgery. In this section, we will address some of the most frequently asked questions from our patients. If you still have doubts after reading, please do not hesitate to contact us!

How do I know which type of dental implant is right for me?

The best dental implant option depends on your oral health, jawbone density and tooth replacement needs. Our surgeons will evaluate your smile and recommend the most suitable type based on these factors.

Are certain types of implants better for patients with bone loss?

Yes, patients with bone loss may benefit from implants designed for minimal bone support or procedures that enhance bone volume. Our surgeons may recommend bone grafting or alternative implant solutions to ensure stability.

Do different types of implants require different healing times?

Healing time varies depending on the type of implant used. Some implants integrate with the bone faster, while others may require additional procedures that extend the process. Our surgeons will provide a timeline based on your treatment plan.

Can I switch from one type of implant to another if needed?

In some cases, patients may transition from one implant type to another, such as upgrading from a single implant to a full-arch solution. However, this depends on bone health and implant compatibility. Our surgeons can determine the best course of action if changes are necessary.

How do the costs differ between the types of dental implants?

Costs vary based on the type of implant, materials used and additional procedures required. During your consultation, our surgeons will discuss pricing and financing options to help you make an informed decision.
