Examining the structure of your mouth, jaw bone, and gum tissue provides vital information for your treatment plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to your health history, digital x-rays and a bite assessment provide necessary perspective.

And there are common types of implants that are effective for certain tooth replacement procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Single implant<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One dental implant can be used to replace the loss of a single tooth. Your implant is placed within your healthy jawbone tissue to form a new tooth root. The abutment (post) and dental crown (on the surface) create a new tooth structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fixed, multiple implants<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The loss of more than one tooth can be treated with multiple dental implants. The single implant placement procedure is repeated at designated locations in your mouth. Your tooth replacement can involve the use of custom-made dental crowns or be attached to a dental bridge that matches your surrounding teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Removable implant-supported denture<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The loss of all or most of your teeth in either section (arch) of your mouth can be treated with dental implants. Two or more implants can be placed to create a foundation for your new teeth. An <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedcenterforcosmeticdentistry.com\/services\/implant-supported-dentures\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">implant-supported denture<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a good solution when you have bone or gum tissue loss as the implants can be placed in available, healthy bone tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, that tooth loss conditions are unique.
