RESTORE YOUR ORAL HEALTH

Dental Implants in Reno

Dental implants or teeth implants, have been used for several decades to replace missing teeth and stabilize dentures to improve your smile and confidence. Throughout history, dental technology and practices have vastly improved and more recently, implants have become the standard for tooth replacement and also helps refine the fit of dentures.

Dental implant placement today is much more predictable and comfortable than in the past. After implants have healed in the jaw, they can remain functional for the duration of the patient’s life if properly cared for. If you have missing teeth or loose dentures, dental implants may be the best solution. To see if dental implants are right for you, schedule an appointment to visit your Reno dentist.

Dental Implants Can Help You Smile With Confidence

 

Dental implants can be used in the replacement of single teeth, all teeth, or to help retainer dentures and partials. Implants are also beneficial in maintaining the bone in the jaw and the facial structures that tend to atrophy over time when teeth are missing.

To see how implants can improve your smile and chewing ability, a thorough health history review and dental examination with Reno Dental Associates will begin the process of restoring your oral health.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants in Reno?

To determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants, schedule a comprehensive consultation with a professional and skilled dentist at Reno Dental Associates. During this appointment, your Reno dentist will assess how implants could improve your smile and chewing ability by examining your oral and overall health to decide if dental implants are right for you. Typically, your dentist will look for signs that you:

  • Are in generally good health
  • Have enough bone density to offer good support to the dental implants
  • Utilize good oral health practices to maintain optimal oral hygiene
  • Have no adjacent anatomical interferences such as a nerve

SINGLE TOOTH IMPLANTS

The best way to replace missing teeth are dental implants. Reno dental experts are here to help. Adjacent teeth do not have to be prepared as in the case for a conventional bridge. The implant helps to maintain the jaw bone and gums where the tooth is missing. The best part of replacing a tooth with an implant, is that it feels and looks like a regular tooth!

MULTIPLE DENTAL IMPLANTS

Multiple teeth can also be replaced with implants by means of fixed bridges and fixed dentures. Fixed bridges and dentures can be anchored with implants to provide a natural-looking and permanent set of teeth. There are multiple options to replace missing teeth with implants, so make sure to ask what the possibilities are for you!

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURES

The best way to anchor dentures is with implants. Old fashioned dentures tend to be ill-fitting and loose as they are used. Dealing with denture pastes and adhesives can be frustrating and time consuming. Implants can be used to secure dentures in place and allow for better comfort with eating, speech and appearance.

GUM GRAFTING

Augmenting sites for implants with gum tissue, before or after implant surgery, may be needed. Often, teeth that were lost traumatically or from disease require rehabilitation to allow the site to be esthetically pleasing when the crown is placed.

BONE GRAFTING

Just as the gum tissue around an implant is critical for the health and appearance of the crown, bone grafting is regularly needed to ensure that your implant(s) can be placed in the best position in the jaw. The better position of the implant will allow for a better outcome with the final crown, bridge, or denture.

Often, it is advisable to graft the tooth socket the day the tooth is removed, to prevent significant bone resorption that usually occurs in the first few months following a tooth being removed. If a tooth has been missing for a long time, the jaw bone generally needs to be grafted to allow for the implant to be placed properly.
