Dental Implants Can Support Multiple Restoration Options
Dental implants are a versatile solution that can be customized to match your level of tooth loss, functional needs, and long-term goals. Dental implants at our Naperville, IL, practice are used to support restorations that look natural, feel secure, and help preserve oral health over time.
Implant-Supported Crowns
When a single tooth is missing, an implant-supported crown can replace it without affecting neighboring teeth. This option restores chewing ability and appearance while stimulating the jawbone to help prevent bone loss.
Implant-Supported Bridges
For patients missing multiple teeth in a row, implant-supported bridges offer a stable alternative to traditional bridges. Because they do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, they help maintain strength, balance, and long-term oral health.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures provide a more secure and comfortable solution for extensive tooth loss. By anchoring the denture to dental implants, patients experience improved stability, easier eating, clearer speech, and greater confidence compared to removable dentures.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
A Full-Arch Option Designed for Patients With Bone Loss
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, All-on-4 dental implants offer a specialized full-arch solution that differs from traditional implant-supported dentures. Rather than placing multiple implants evenly throughout the jaw, this approach uses strategically angled implants positioned in areas of stronger bone. As a result, many patients with bone loss can move forward with treatment without extensive grafting.
All-on-4 dental implants may be recommended for patients who:
- Are missing an entire upper or lower arch of teeth
- Have experienced bone loss due to tooth loss or gum disease
- Want a stable, full-arch restoration supported by fewer implants
- Have been told they are not candidates for traditional implant approaches
Dr. Akhras evaluates anatomy, bone structure, and health factors to determine whether All-on-4 is the most appropriate solution.
What to Expect With the Dental Implant Process
Dental implant treatment is a multi-step process designed to create a stable, long-lasting replacement for missing teeth. While each plan is personalized, most patients can expect the following general steps when replacing one or more teeth with dental implants.
