Dental Implants in
Lake Mary

When tooth loss occurs, in addition to challenges speaking and eating, jaw bone loss and changes to the facial structure occur. It is therefore important to replace missing teeth as quickly as possible with an option that functions without issue and looks natural. Dental implants can accomplish this because they are placed directly in the jawbone.

What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are screw-like appliances made from medical-grade titanium. They are implanted in the jaw and function like replacement tooth roots by securely supporting a denture, bridge or crown. Over time, they fuse with the jawbone, helping to ensure a comfortable and secure fit and preventing bone deterioration. At SofTouch Dental, we offer Denture Stabilization, Endosteal Implants, All-on-4 Implants and Teeth-in-a-Day.

What is Dentures Stabilization?

Denture stabilization can be used to support removable dentures. With this technique, we place dental implants in the jaw to keep a set of removable dentures in place. These dentures can still be removed at night for cleaning and re-inserted in the morning.

What are Endosteal Implants?

Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implants. Their versatility allows them to be used for bridges, crowns or full dentures. This type of implant is a simple screw-like structure that is inserted into the jawbone. Following placement and healing, prosthetic teeth are affixed to the implants.

What are All-on-Four/
Teeth-in-a-Day Implants?

For patients missing a full arch of teeth, All-on-4 Implants are often an ideal option. These implants support a complete arch using just four implants. By placing the implants in precise locations and specific angles, the replacement teeth receive consistent and dependable support. Recovery time is reduced since fewer implants are used. Best of all, after the implant procedure, you will receive a temporary set of teeth, so you go home the same day with a beautiful smile!
