Discover the Different Types of Dental Implants Available at Plano Family Dental

Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can impact your confidence, bite function, and long-term oral health. At Plano Family Dental, we offer a variety of dental implant solutions to restore your smile, whether you're missing one tooth or many. Here's a look at the most common types of implants and how they can help you regain a beautiful, functional smile:

Single-Tooth Implants

As the name suggests, single-tooth implants are designed to replace one missing tooth. The process involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial root. Once healed, a custom-made porcelain crown is attached, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

This is a great option for patients looking for a permanent, natural-looking solution to restore both aesthetics and functionality without affecting the surrounding teeth.

Multiple-Tooth Implants

If you're missing two or more teeth, multiple-tooth implants might be the right solution for you. These implants can replace teeth that are missing in a row or serve as support for a custom bridge, depending on your unique oral health situation.

This option offers a durable and stable alternative to traditional bridges or partial dentures, preserving bone health and maintaining facial structure.

All-on-4® Dental Implants

For patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, All-on-4® dental implants provide a life-changing full-mouth restoration solution. This method uses just four strategically placed implants to secure an entire arch of custom-made porcelain teeth.

Benefits include:

• A permanent, non-removable solution
• No messy adhesives or slipping
• Improved bite strength and comfort

All-on-4 implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile confidently, all while preserving your jawbone and facial structure.

Implant-Supported Dentures

If you're not a candidate for All-on-4 or prefer a removable option, implant-supported dentures may be the right fit. This treatment involves placing a few implants into the jawbone and attaching a removable denture for a more secure and comfortable fit than traditional dentures.

It’s an ideal middle-ground option for patients seeking enhanced stability without committing to a fixed full-arch restoration.
