Single Tooth
If you’re looking for a revolutionary way to restore missing teeth while matching the aesthetic and function of your natural smile, then dental implants might be for you. At Eggleston Dental Care, our implants consist of three pieces:
- Implant Fixture – This piece holds the implant in place on your jawbone.
- Abutment – This part connects the fixture and crown.
- Permanent Crown – The only part of the implant anyone will see.
Dr. Eggleston can use dental implants with multiple restorative procedures to brighten your smile. For example, we can use a single dental implant to restore the gap in your smile caused by missing teeth. The entire implant process generally takes two visits to our office.
During the first, Dr. Eggleston will place the implant fixture on your jawbone. This is a minor procedure that we complete right in our office. While we wait for your permanent one to be made, we’ll place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
Your second visit will come weeks after your procedure. Once your mouth has had time to heal, Dr. Eggleston will set your permanent porcelain crown restoration.
Multiple Tooth
Dental implants offer the healthiest smile restoration for replacing damaged or missing teeth. For our Turlock patients that are missing multiple teeth, we can restore your confidence and have you smiling again in no time. If you suffer from tooth loss, we recommend discussing your solution options with Dr. Eggleston. For example, we can replace more than one nonadjacent gaps using multiple single dental implants.
If your missing teeth are adjacent, Dr. Eggleston might advise using a partial bridge, secured by dental implants. He’ll complete this by using two or more implants to hold a single dental prosthetic in place on your jawbone. Much like single tooth restorations, the entire procedure only requires two office visits.
Full Arch
Have you been looking for a new smile that looks stunning and is built to last? Full-arch dental implants provide the stability that’s unmatched by traditional dentures—and all while maintaining an attractive appearance.
Dr. Eggleston is proud to offer full-arch restorations from All-on-4. This iconic full-arch replacement will have you leaving our office after a single visit with a durable and beautiful temporary prosthetic.
After your jawbone has had time to bond with the implants, through the process of osseointegration, you’ll come back to our practice so Dr. Eggleston can set your permanent prosthetic. You’re going to love your smile so much that you’ll want to show it off.
