At our Norton, MA dental practice, we offer patients who are seeking to replace missing teeth in their smile with innovative care through dental implants. Dental implant restorations support the jaw bone and repair both function and aesthetics. At Norton Dental Associates, we utilize tooth-colored porcelain and noble metals for our implant crowns and bridges to enhance the appearance of your smile as well as provide lasting strength. While there are a variety of implant restorations, learning more about them and help determine which will best fit you.
Implant-supported, multi-unit dental bridges – Multi-unit dental bridges supported by dental implants are similar in appearance to a standard bridge, but are supported by implants and not natural teeth. For multiple-unit dental bridges that span entire arches, the use of several implants are called for. With dental implants, we can provide comprehensive restoration of your function and enhance aesthetics of your smile with porcelain restorations with a metal based, for added strength on biting surfaces of replacement teeth.
Single tooth implant – Single tooth implant restorations utilize implant posts, abutments, and a singular porcelain crown to close the gap caused by a missing tooth in your smile. While cemented bridges re traditionally recommended to replace single teeth, this treatment does require that neighboring teeth support the prosthetic and are reshaped to fit the bridge. With dental implants, we can restore the whole tooth without compromising healthy teeth.
Implant-supported dentures – Traditional dentures call for adhesives to apply the prosthetic to the jaw and hold it in place throughout the day. Patients with a full arch of missing teeth find that dentures are prone to changing and poor fit, which creates discomfort and makes it difficult to eat and speak. An implant-supported denture affixes your full set of replacement teeth to the jaw and eliminates the use of adhesives. Patients find that speech and eating are more comfortable, as implants support their overall function of their dentition and encourage better overall dental health. Implants also support the jaw bone, unlike traditional dentures, and prevent facial collapse. Choosing implant-supported dentures allow you the convenience of popping off your prosthetic in many casing, for easier maintenance of your oral hygiene.
