Dental Implant Treatments for Different Needs
Options Designed to Restore Function, Comfort, and Confidence
Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch. Treatment is tailored based on how many teeth are missing, bone health, and your goals for comfort, appearance, and long-term durability. In most cases, implant-supported restorations are fixed in place and designed to look and feel similar to natural teeth. Below are the primary implant treatment options available at our Brunswick office.
Single Tooth Implant
A single missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant without altering healthy adjacent teeth. The implant is placed into the jawbone, followed by an abutment that supports a custom crown. This option restores both function and appearance while helping maintain bone health. Benefits include:
Natural Individual Tooth Replacement
Full Chewing Ability Restored
Preserves Surrounding Teeth and Jawbone
Helps Maintain Bone Levels Over Time
Multiple Teeth Replacement
When multiple teeth are missing in one area, dental implants can be used to support an implant bridge. Rather than replacing each tooth individually, implants are strategically placed and splinted together to restore several teeth in an arch. This option functions much like natural teeth and avoids the need for removable partial dentures. Benefits include:
Long-lasting, Stable Tooth Replacement
Does Not Rely on or Damage Adjacent Teeth
Eliminates Traditional Removable Partial Dentures
Improved Comfort and Chewing Function
Fixed Full-Arch Implants
Fixed full-arch implants use multiple implants, typically five to eight, to support a permanent bridge that replaces all teeth and gum structure in an arch. These restorations are cemented or screwed into place and are designed for strength, function, and esthetics using materials such as zirconia or porcelain. Advantages include:
Highly Esthetic, Natural-Looking Results
Secure, Non-Removable Design
Long-lasting Materials With Low Wear
Strong Bite Support for Everyday Function
Removable Full-Arch Implants (Overdentures)
Implant-supported overdentures are removable but securely anchored to dental implants. This option improves stability compared to traditional dentures while remaining easier to clean and maintain. It can be a good choice for patients seeking improved function with a more budget-conscious approach. Advantages include:
Improved Stability Over Traditional Dentures
More Affordable Full-Arch Option
Easier Maintenance and Repair
Highly Hygienic and Helpful for Limited Dexterity
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which implant option is right for me?
The best implant option depends on how many teeth are missing, bone health, overall oral health, and your goals for comfort and maintenance. A consultation with Dr. Oshetski includes evaluation and diagnostics to determine which approach fits your needs and expectations.
Can implants replace dentures completely?
Yes. Many patients choose fixed or implant-supported full-arch solutions to replace traditional dentures entirely. These options offer greater stability, improved chewing, and a more natural feel compared to removable dentures.
Are implant-supported options more durable than dentures?
Implant-supported restorations are designed for long-term durability and stability. Because implants integrate with the jawbone, they provide stronger support than dentures that rest on gum tissue alone.
