Are you missing one or more teeth? Whether you’re currently missing teeth or planning to have some pulled, dental implants are a more comfortable alternative to dentures and partials. Here are three types of dental implants to consider.
Single Tooth Implant
A single-tooth implant is ideal for patients who only need to replace one tooth. This type of implant involves placing an implant screw into the jawbone and attaching a crown to it. This is typically done in one or two visits, but some patients may need gum grafts before they can have a single-tooth implant placed.
Implant-supported Bridge
Patients who are missing several teeth in a row may choose an implant-supported bridge. An implant-supported bridge uses a single implant to support a bridge that replaces multiple teeth. If the patient is missing more than a few teeth, they may be better served by a set of All On 4 Dental Implants in Chicago

All-on-4 Dental Implants
You might think that dentures are your only option if you are missing all of your teeth, but you may be a good candidate for All On 4 Dental Implants in Chicago. All-on-4 uses four anchor implants to hold an entire arch of replacement teeth.
