All-on-4 dental implants

All-on-4 dental implants are a treatment for people who want to replace most or all of their teeth in one or both jaws. The procedure involves placing four implants in the jawbone to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The two back implants are angled to maximize bone use, often eliminating the need for bone grafts. Patients usually receive temporary teeth on the same day as the surgery, with permanent teeth placed later. All-on-4 is a cost-effective, quick, and long-lasting solution for full-mouth restoration, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

All-on-6 dental implants

All-on-6 dental implants are a full-mouth restoration procedure similar to All-on-4, but with six implants placed in the jawbone to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The additional implants provide extra stability and support, making this option suitable for patients with lower bone density or those seeking added durability. Like All-on-4, patients typically receive a temporary set of teeth on the same day as the surgery, followed by permanent teeth once the implants have fully integrated. All-on-6 offers a robust, long-lasting solution for those needing extensive tooth replacement.

Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front of teeth to improve their appearance. Made from porcelain or composite resin, they can fix issues like discoloration, chips, and gaps. The procedure involves bonding the veneers to the teeth, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing look. Veneers are durable and can last 10-15 years or more with proper care. They offer a quick and effective way to enhance your smile.

Implants

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth's root. Once integrated with the bone, it serves as a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Implants provide a durable, natural-looking solution for tooth replacement, restoring function and appearance while preserving jawbone health.

Bone Graft

A bone graft is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone material to the jaw to support dental implants or to rebuild bone lost due to injury, disease, or tooth loss. The graft material, which can come from your own body, a donor, or synthetic sources, helps stimulate new bone growth, creating a strong foundation for implants or other dental work.

Available Crowns

Zirconia and porcelain crowns are both used to restore damaged teeth, but they differ in material and properties:

• Zirconia Crowns: Made from a strong, durable ceramic, zirconia crowns are highly resistant to cracking and chipping. They are often used for molars because of their strength, and they can withstand heavy biting forces. Zirconia crowns are also biocompatible and less likely to cause allergic reactions.
• Porcelain Crowns: Made from a more natural-looking ceramic, porcelain crowns are prized for their aesthetic qualities. They mimic the translucence of natural teeth, making them ideal for front teeth. However, they are slightly less durable than zirconia and can be more prone to chipping or breaking under pressure.

In summary, zirconia crowns are stronger and more durable, while porcelain crowns offer superior aesthetics and are better for visible teeth.

Types of crowns

A monolithic zirconia crown is a dental crown made entirely from a single block of zirconia, a highly durable ceramic material. Unlike layered zirconia crowns, which have a porcelain overlay, monolithic zirconia crowns are solid throughout, making them exceptionally strong and resistant to chipping or cracking. They are ideal for back teeth where strength is crucial, though they may be less translucent and natural-looking compared to other crown types. An Ivoclar zirconia crown is a dental crown made from high-quality zirconia material developed by Ivoclar, a leading dental materials company. These crowns are known for their strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal, offering a good balance between natural-looking translucency and robust performance. Ivoclar zirconia crowns are often used for both front and back teeth, providing a strong and long-lasting solution with enhanced aesthetic qualities compared to standard zirconia crowns. A VITA zirconia crown is a dental crown made from zirconia produced by VITA, a reputable manufacturer known for high-quality dental materials. These crowns are prized for their strength, durability, and excellent aesthetic properties, closely mimicking the appearance of natural teeth. VITA zirconia crowns are suitable for both front and back teeth, providing a reliable and long-lasting option that combines durability with a natural, lifelike appearance.
