Permanent Tooth Replacement
Missing teeth can impact much more than just your appearance. Tooth loss can affect your confidence, oral health, speech, the ability to eat comfortably, and even the long-term stability of your jawbone. At Golden Oak Dentistry, we provide advanced implant dentistry solutions that will restore your smile with results that look natural, feel secure, and support long-term health and function.
Dental implants are the most commonly used solution for tooth replacement because they replace both the visible tooth and the root beneath the surface. Unlike traditional bridges or removable dentures, implants help preserve healthy jawbone while providing exceptional comfort, stability, and durability. With proper care, dental implants are designed to last for decades and often a lifetime.
Dr. Chu is a Member and Diplomate of the International Dental Implant Association and has extensive training and experience in implant dentistry and full-smile restoration. Every treatment plan is carefully personalized to your goals, comfort, and long-term oral health.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, and it replaces the root of a missing tooth. Over time, the implant naturally fuses with the surrounding bone, creating a strong and stable foundation for a custom dental restoration.
Once the site where the post was implanted has had time to heal, the implant is restored with a lifelike crown, bridge, or denture designed to blend naturally with your smile. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth while helping preserve the integrity of your jawbone and facial structure.
Single Tooth Implants
When only one tooth is missing, a single dental implant can replace the entire tooth without impacting neighboring teeth. A custom crown is then placed on top of the implant to restore your smile.
Multiple Tooth Replacement
Dental implants can also replace several missing teeth by supporting a custom bridge. Unlike traditional bridges, implant-supported bridges do not rely on surrounding teeth for support. This helps to preserve more of your natural tooth structure while restoring comfort and function.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients who have loose or uncomfortable dentures, implant-supported dentures provide a more stable alternative. Strategically placed implants anchor the denture into place, helping prevent slipping while improving comfort, speech, and chewing ability.
All-on-4® and All-on-6® Full-Arch Restoration
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, All-on-4® and All-on-6® treatment options provide a full-arch solution supported by dental implants. Using four or six strategically placed implants, a complete arch of natural-looking replacement teeth can be attached for a stable and functional smile.
Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts
When teeth have been missing for a long time, the jawbone can begin to shrink or weaken due to lack of stimulation. In some cases, additional bone support may be needed before dental implants can be placed successfully.
The dentist will perform a procedure called bone grafting to rebuild and strengthen areas where bone loss has occurred. This helps to create a stable foundation for implants.
A sinus lift is a specialized procedure performed in the upper jaw that gently raises the sinus area and adds bone where additional support is needed for successful implant placement.
