Are you missing a single tooth and feeling self-conscious about your smile? Or perhaps you've lost an entire set of teeth and are searching for a reliable solution to restore your confidence and chewing ability?  

Whatever your situation may be, dental implants in San Antonio offer a comprehensive range of solutions tailored to meet your unique needs and restore your smile to its former glory.

Implant Solutions  

Single Tooth Replacements

Single tooth replacements offer a targeted solution for people missing one or a few teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics with natural-looking results.

This procedure involves the surgical placement of a titanium implant into the jawbone, serving as a sturdy foundation for a custom-made porcelain crown. The crown is crafted to blend with the patient's natural teeth, providing a durable and lifelike replacement.  

Benefits of Single Tooth Replacements  

• Preservation of Adjacent Teeth: Single tooth replacements do not require the alteration of adjacent teeth, helping to maintain the health and integrity of neighboring teeth. ‍
• Long-Term Durability: With proper care and maintenance, single tooth implants can last a lifetime, providing a permanent solution for tooth replacement. ‍
• Natural Look and Feel: The custom-made porcelain crown is designed to mimic the shape, size, and color of the patient's natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing restoration. ‍
• Bone Preservation: The presence of an implant stimulates the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure over time, promoting overall oral health and stability.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer a stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures, particularly for those missing multiple teeth or entire arches. They involve the strategic placement of dental implants along the jawbone. These implants serve as anchors for a custom denture appliance, securely attaching it to the jaw.  

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

• Enhanced Stability: Implant-supported dentures are firmly anchored in place, eliminating the worry of slippage or shifting while eating or speaking.
• No Need for Adhesives: Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures do not require the use of adhesives, offering convenience and comfort
• Improved Chewing Ability: With a stable foundation, patients can comfortably enjoy a wider variety of foods, leading to better nutrition and overall health.
• Long-Term Durability: With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last for many years, offering a reliable and long-term solution for tooth replacement.

All-On-Four®  

The All-On-Four® implant solution is ideal for those facing the prospect of full-arch tooth loss or already missing all teeth.

This technique involves the placement of just four dental implants along the jawbone to support a complete set of fixed prosthetic teeth. By distributing the biting forces evenly across the implants, this approach ensures optimal stability and comfort for the patient.

Benefits of All-On-Four®

• Immediate Results: Patients can often receive temporary prosthetic teeth on the same day as implant placement, allowing for immediate restoration of function and aesthetics.
• Reduced Treatment Time: The All-On-Four® technique typically requires fewer implants and less invasive procedures compared to traditional full-arch implant solutions, resulting in a faster and more streamlined treatment process.
• Minimal Bone Grafting: In many cases, All-On-Four® implants can be placed without the need for extensive bone grafting procedures, making it a suitable option for patients with insufficient bone volume.
• Enhanced Comfort: All-On-Four® implants eliminate the discomfort and irritation commonly associated with removable dentures, providing a stable and comfortable solution for eating, speaking, and smiling.
