Dental Implants: The Gold Standard in Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are the most reliable and long-lasting way to replace missing teeth. Each implant acts as an artificial tooth root, anchoring a custom restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture.
Benefits include:
- Permanent, stable tooth replacement
- Restores full chewing and speaking function
- Prevents bone loss and facial collapse
- Natural appearance and feel
- Can last a lifetime with proper care
With his extensive training in implant surgery and restoration, Dr. Knowles ensures every implant is placed with precision and artistry.
All-on-Four Implants: Full-Arch Restoration with Fewer Implants
The All-on-Four technique replaces an entire arch of teeth using only four strategically placed implants. This innovative approach offers a faster, more cost-effective solution for patients missing most or all of their teeth.
Benefits of All-on-Four Implants:
- Fixed, full-arch restoration in a single day
- No need for individual implants for each tooth
- Improved stability and comfort compared to dentures
- Preserves jawbone and facial structure
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
Many patients leave the office with a functional, beautiful new smile the same day as their procedure.
Bone Grafting: Building the Foundation for Implants
Bone grafting restores bone volume and density in areas of the jaw where bone loss has occurred. This procedure is often the first step toward successful dental implant placement.
Benefits of Bone Grafting:
- Rebuilds and strengthens the jawbone
- Provides a stable foundation for implants
- Prevents further bone loss and gum recession
- Restores facial structure and symmetry
Using advanced grafting materials and 3D imaging, Dr. Knowles customizes each procedure to achieve optimal long-term success.
