Our Services
Your smile is one of the first things people notice. It can light up a room and express many emotions. But for some, missing teeth can make them feel self-conscious about their smile. At Mel Mel Dental, we offer dental implants, today's gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Your new restorations will look, feel, and function like natural teeth, so you can smile with confidence once again!
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are screw-shaped titanium posts. When placed in your jawbone, they act like natural tooth roots, providing an incredibly stable foundation for implant restorations designed to match your smile.
At Mel Mel Dental, we offer single-tooth replacements, implant-supported bridges, implant-supported dentures, and All-on-4s. Whether you've lost a single tooth or multiple teeth, we have the perfect dental implant solution for you.
- Single Tooth Replacement: As the name suggests, a single tooth replacement replaces a single missing tooth. Your restoration consists of an aesthetic dental crown attached to a dental implant, leaving you with a seamless smile.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: If you've lost two or more teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge may be your best option. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on natural teeth for support, implant bridges are attached to dental implants on each side of the gap, providing exceptional stability and function.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: If you're missing all your teeth or want a more stable alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures may be the ideal solution for you. Also known as overdentures, these stable and secure restorations provide superior comfort, function, and durability.
- All-on-4s: All-on-4s use as few as four dental implants to support a complete denture, providing a strong and stable foundation for a beautiful new smile. These superior restorations are second only to healthy, natural teeth!
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants look and function like natural teeth, restoring your beautiful smile. You'll be able to eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently, knowing that your new replacement teeth will never shift out of place. Your implant restoration will support your facial structure, restoring your youthful contours.
Dental implants act like natural tooth roots, which helps prevent bone loss in the jaw. They also prevent any remaining teeth from shifting, preventing the complications that often follow tooth loss, including crooked teeth, problems with the bite, and TMJ discomfort. Dental implants have an exceptionally high success rate, and with proper care, they can enhance your smile for many years to come!
What Is the Dental Implant Process?
Dr. Suditu will evaluate your oral health and help you determine whether you are a candidate for implant dentistry. If bone loss interferes with implant placement, he may recommend a bone grafting procedure to build up the bone in the area before placing your implants.
The implant procedure involves placing one or more implants in your jawbone. During the healing process, your dental implant will fuse to the bone in a process known as osseointegration, providing a solid foundation to support your restoration. After healing, which typically takes a few months, we will take digital impressions of the area using our intraoral scanner to create your replacement teeth. Be prepared to be amazed!
