When a patient is missing teeth, deciding between traditional bridges and dentures, and the latest dental implant technology, can be overwhelming. Dentist Dr. Mark Arooni is an experienced implant dentist in Chandler, AZ. Through the new Lakeview Dental Care implant blog, Dr. Arooni looks forward to discussing a variety of topics that relate to dental implants.

Dental Implants in Chandler, AZ

Lakeview Dental Care utilizes innovative technology in which biocompatible titanium posts are anchored to the jawbone to create an attachment point for a variety of prosthetic teeth. The presence of the permanently attached implant allows security for a crown or dentures, and mimics the structure of teeth to avoid the jawbone deterioration and shifting that can occur when teeth are missing.

The types of dental implants we offer are:

• Single Dental Implants - This type is used when there is only one missing tooth.
• Implant-Retained Bridges - Utilizing two implant posts to support a bridge, this is used when there are two or three consecutive missing teeth.
• All on Four Dentures - Four implant posts are used to support an entire arch of teeth.
• Implant-Retained Dentures -When most, or all, of a patient's teeth have fallen out or been extracted, implant-retained dentures are used.

The Convenience of Implant-Retained Dentures

Unlike removable dentures, implant-retained dentures allow you to confidently eat any food - even apples, steak, and corn on the cob - without concerns of slipping. There is no need for pastes or suction to keep implant-retained dentures in place. They do not have to be removed for cleaning, and in fact, you can brush them just as you would brush your regular teeth.

Extensively experienced in dental implant placement, Dr. Arooni is dedicated to providing you with an implant bridge that will look like your natural teeth. In partial implants, the dentures are color matched to existing teeth, for a seamless appearance.
