We live in an exciting time! Today, teeth that have a poor likelihood of being saved can instead be removed and replaced with a dental implant. A dental implant restores the function of your tooth and looks and feels like a natural tooth. The Dentist in Louisville has the expertise and state-of-the-art dental technology to create and place a single dental implant or multiple implants, depending on your needs.
Most adults who have lost one or more teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Some types of health issues can decrease the success or disqualify someone from dental implants. We would love for you to come in and discuss your options with us to learn if you would be a great candidate for dental implants!
Implant-retained dentures have many benefits that traditional dentures lack. Traditional dentures restore about 10% of your function compared to natural teeth due to their reliance upon suction for stability. When we create implant-retained dentures, we make a denture that is able to snap in and out of your mouth, restoring 70% of your function.
All-on-4, or more accurately, All-on-X, describes either an upper or lower arch that has had all teeth removed and restored by implants that are connected with one large bridge. This is an incredible service that we offer patients here at The Dentist in Louisville. This kind of dental treatment changes a person’s life.Â
