Types of Dental Implants

At Lifetime Dental we offer a variety of implant options. These implants are comfortable, reliable, and are typically made of biocompatible materials such as metals or ceramic.

Implant types include:

  •   Traditional Implants
  •   Mini Implants
  •   Non-Removable Zirconia Bridge
  •   Semi-Removable Fix on Six Zirconia Bridge
  •   Removable Acrylic Dentures

 

Traditional implants are attached directly to the jawbone. They can be used to replace a single tooth, or multiple teeth – depending on our patient’s needs. We recommend this procedure for those with good bone quality and volume.

A Zirconia Bridge is non-removable and involves placing between 10 to 12 implants for support. Once the implants have healed, your permanent bridge will be fitted and finally cemented onto the implants for a permanent, effective, and comfortable tooth replacement.

Fix on Six Zirconia Bridges are semi-removable and can be detached by your dentist during a check-up or cleaning visit. Depending on your bone structure, between 6 to 10 implants may be placed.

Acrylic dentures are an excellent option for those who want a great-fitting, functional set of dentures without having to worry about a large number of implants being placed. These removable dentures only require 4 to 6 implants, depending on the quality of your underlying bone structure. Acrylic dentures provide an economical solution for those who want a more natural-feeling and secure denture.

Mini Dental Implants

For those who are not candidates for traditional implants, mini implants are also available! Mini implants anchor custom metal frameworks to the target site. This procedure is quick and less invasive than other treatments. This is the best option for those with a thin bone structure and those seeking a more economical solution.
