• If the person continues to eat food with absent teeth, the TM joints begin to exhaust which leads to facial pain, headaches, and other arthritic problems.
• Over time, toothless jaw causes jaw bones to shrink which leaves sunken cheeks that severely affects the cosmetic structure of the face
• Very demanding and costly additional surgical procedures such as cosmetic reconstruction and remodeling may be needed to augment the shrunken bone.
• According to study, a person with missing teeth will lose 25% of his/her supporting jawbone structure in only a matter of a year after tooth loss.
• The person is highly vulnerable to develop gum diseases which can further endanger the surrounding healthy teeth which are functioning properly
• Missing teeth leave the adjacent teeth more susceptible to injury or damage from trauma since no surrounding structure is present to absorb the shock

Why Choose Dental Implants

As opposed to cemented bridges or fixed frameworks, implant-supported restorations do not require modifications on the patient’s natural teeth structure, but instead are anchored to the jaw bone through a titanium or zirconium post. With today’s technology, high-grade materials are used for manufacturing and modeling crowns and bridges which give same light reflecting and translucence qualities of natural enamel. At Dr. Thomas Clinic, we offer multiple single implants and implant-supported bridges for replacing missing teeth. An integrated implant is eight times stronger than a natural tooth. so in reality one can replace 14 teeth with only 6 to 8 implants.  For example, 2 implants can ideally support a three or four unit bridge. 

• Multiple Single Implants

Multiple single implants are the optimum dental restoration solution for multiple missing teeth. In this treatment, every implant independently holds the crown, keeping the jaw stimulated, healthy and safe from bone loss. Here the foundation is so strong that it mimics the natural teeth. 

• Implant-Supported Bridge

Implant supported bridge is the next best dental restoration option for multiple missing teeth. The treatment involves two or more implants (depending on the number of missing teeth) which are strategically screwed to the jaw bone to support a fixed bridgework of crowns.

• Fast Dental Rehabilitation

Same-day implant is an amazing aesthetic restoration solution, bringing back and improving the patient’s smile almost immediately through a painless procedure.

Benefits Of Implants Supported Bridge

• Cost effective as 2 implants can support 3 or 4  crowns in a bridge
• Does not compromise bite/chew strength and efficiency of the non-implant tooth
• Keeps the surrounding teeth, gum line and other tissues intact
• No dietary restrictions on as the person can eat essentially anything
• Preserves the jaw bone by stopping bone absorption process
• Gives aesthetic improvement by preventing the old age looks.
• As a permanent dental restoration solution, doesn’t require adhesives or clips or plastic denture bases.
