Dental Implant Services

Losing teeth can affect your confidence, comfort, and even your ability to chew. If you’ve been searching for a long-term solution to restore both the appearance and functionality of your smile, dental implants might be the ideal option for you. At Erik’s Dental Group in Boynton Beach, we specialize in custom dental implant services designed to meet your specific needs. Here’s everything you need to know about dental implants and why they are a leading choice in modern dentistry.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent, durable solution for replacing missing teeth. They are designed to mimic the natural structure and function of your teeth. A dental implant consists of three main parts:

  1. The Post: A titanium or zirconium screw that acts as a replacement root and is placed into your jawbone.
  2. The Abutment: This is a connector that secures the implant to the artificial tooth or crown.
  3. The Crown: A custom-made artificial tooth designed to look and feel like a natural tooth.

Types of Dental Implant Services at Erik's Dental Group

We understand that every patient has unique dental needs, and that’s why we offer a full range of dental implant options to ensure the most suitable solution for your smile, these include:

Single Tooth Implants

If you’re missing just one tooth, a single dental implant can restore your smile without affecting neighboring teeth. This standalone solution preserves your natural tooth structure while providing a durable, long-lasting replacement that looks and functions just like your original tooth.

Multi-Teeth Implants

For individuals missing several teeth, multi-tooth implants can replace multiple missing spaces with fewer posts. This approach is more efficient and often more cost-effective than replacing each tooth individually, while still providing exceptional stability and aesthetics.

Non-Removable Implant Dentures

For patients who prefer fixed solutions, non-removable implant dentures provide a stable, secure fit. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip or cause discomfort, these permanent fixtures offer improved functionality for those missing most or all of their teeth.

All-on-4 Implants

The All-on-4 technique is a revolutionary option where an entire arch of teeth is supported by just four strategically placed implants. This is ideal for those transitioning from traditional dentures to a more permanent solution, often eliminating the need for extensive bone grafting and reducing overall treatment time.

Hybrid Prosthesis

This innovative solution combines the stability of implants with the aesthetics of dentures, offering a natural-looking and functional smile. The hybrid prosthesis is secured to implants but can be removed by your dentist for maintenance, providing the best of both worlds in tooth replacement technology.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to fill in gaps from missing teeth – here’s how they can make a difference for you:

Improved Functionality

Chew, speak, and smile confidently. Dental implants closely mimic natural teeth, meaning you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worry. The secure anchoring of implants to your jawbone eliminates concerns about slippage that often comes with traditional dentures.

Enhanced Comfort

Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants are secured in place, eliminating the discomfort of shifting or rubbing. Many patients report forgetting they even have implants because they feel so natural in the mouth, allowing you to go about your daily activities without constant awareness of your dental work.

Longevity

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime. This makes them a smart investment in your long-term oral health, often providing better value than other tooth replacement options that may need frequent replacement or adjustment.

Bone Health Preservation

One advantage of dental implants is that they stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are missing. This preservation of bone structure helps maintain facial features and prevents the premature aging appearance that often accompanies tooth loss.

Natural Appearance

The crowns attached to your dental implants are designed to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. Our professional dental team takes great care to create restorations that blend with your existing teeth.

The Dental Implant Process at Erik's Dental Group

At Erik’s Dental Group, we offer a streamlined approach that prioritizes your comfort and results. Here’s what you can expect from the dental implant process:

Initial Consultation

During your consultation, our dentist will evaluate your oral health, examine your jawbone density, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants. This is also an opportunity to discuss your goals and outline the best treatment plan for your specific situation. We take the time to answer all your questions and ensure you feel comfortable with the process ahead.

Placement of Implants

Our advanced technology allows us to complete most procedures, including tooth extraction and implant placement, within a single appointment. The titanium or zirconium post is surgically implanted into your jawbone with precision and care. Our experienced team ensures this process is as comfortable as possible, using appropriate anesthesia and sedation options.

Healing Process

Once the implant is placed, your body begins a healing process called osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the jawbone for secure and stable support. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and remains available to address any concerns that may arise during your recovery.

Placing the Crown

After healing, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant via the abutment. This crown is crafted to blend with your existing teeth and enhance your natural smile. The final restoration appointment is typically quick and comfortable, allowing you to leave our office with your complete, functional smile.

Going to the office for me is like going to see family. I have been seeing Dr. Jeffrey Lissauer for over 16 years and every visit is a great experience. I started seeing Jeffrey in my early teens and since then I have lived all around the country. I try to make it in every time I am home in South Florida for a check up. Erica is always welcoming with warm smile and every technician I have seen is friendly, through, quick and pain free! Dr. Lissauer is an extremely talented dentist and he and his team has kept my pearly whites in excellent care. I am grateful for their honesty, aptitude and professionalism. I also enjoy the TV screens and headphones, as they are always a nice distraction from the noise! Thanks for being the BEST!
