Dental Implants

Dental implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or a full arch, depending on how many teeth are missing and the condition of your jawbone. The type of restoration used determines how many implants we recommend.

Implant Crown: Replacing One Tooth

We replace a single missing tooth with one implant post and one custom crown to function just like a natural tooth. Dr. Carroll carefully matches the color and shape to your surrounding teeth for a seamless appearance.

Implant Bridge: Replacing Several Adjacent Teeth

An implant bridge replaces two or more missing teeth in a row, typically using two implant posts as anchors, with the replacement teeth spanning the gap between them. Unlike a traditional bridge, we do not need to alter the neighboring natural teeth.

Implant Denture: Replacing a Full Arch of Missing Teeth

A full arch of missing teeth can be restored with an implant-supported denture anchored by as few as four implants. This provides far greater stability than a traditional removable denture, with no need for adhesive, no slipping, and no dietary restrictions.

Which Implant Option Is Right for You?

The right restoration depends on more than how many teeth are missing. Bone density, gum health, and overall oral health all factor into what is possible. Dr. Carroll will evaluate your situation and work with a trusted specialist to develop a plan that fits your situation.
