Dental Implants: The Best Option For A Beautiful Smile?

There are a few options when it comes to dental implant procedures. They mostly all follow the same method of installing titanium posts into the jawbone and then placing the tooth. The costs of dental implants vary. 

Single tooth implant is when one tooth gets replaced.  A temporary bridge is when there are small micro implants and the bridges are placed on top to allow the permanent implants to heal. When a patient has numerous teeth that need replacement, less implants are used to support many teeth. The cost is typically higher but is the most beneficial and valuable option. 

Fixed and/or removable bridges are similar to implant supported dentures but the bridges are detachable from the implants. Bridges supported by implants will not cause bone loss and weak teeth. This procedure costs less than a permanent dental implant procedure but it is not significantly less. 

Anchorage is the use of implants in orthodontics to help speed the results of braces. The implants are meshed into the jaw bone to create a strong and stable anchor to allow teeth to shift faster and smoother.
