Single Implant
A dental implant is an option to replace a missing tooth. In this procedure, a small titanium shaft is surgically implanted into the bone and allowed to set. The bone grows around it forming a tight connection, which additionally slows or stops the bone loss that occurs when the root of a natural tooth is missing. Once the implant is firmly set in the mouth, the dentist then works to attach the replacement tooth onto the top of the shaft. This permanent solution has the advantages over bridge work that it does not stress the surrounding teeth.

Overdenture
An overdenture isa type of removable, implant-retained prosthesis that looks like a traditional denture but provides more stability and a better fit by attaching to dental implants. It features an artificial arch of teeth and a gum-colored base, which snaps onto attachments on the implants, offering greater comfort, improved chewing ability, and a more secure feel compared to conventional dentures.
