Type of Dental Implants - Dr Matt Lawler

Dental Implant Options

At my practice, Peelhouse Dental Care, I offer a full range of dental implant solutions tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re missing one tooth or require a full-mouth restoration, we have the expertise and technology to restore your smile with natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Single Tooth Implants

A single tooth implant is the ideal solution for replacing a missing tooth without affecting the adjacent teeth.

How It Works:

A titanium implant is placed in the jawbone to act as a new tooth root.
Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to match your natural teeth.

Benefits:

Looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure.
No need to alter adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridges.

Perfect for replacing a single missing tooth with a long-term solution.

Multiple Implants

If you have several missing teeth, multiple dental implants can restore your smile without the need for a removable denture.

How It Works:

Implants are placed in the jawbone to provide a foundation for a bridge or individual crowns.
Custom restorations are attached to the implants, creating a natural look and feel.

Benefits:

Prevents shifting of surrounding teeth.
Restores natural bite strength and chewing function.
Improves overall facial appearance and oral health.

An excellent option for replacing multiple teeth in a row or across different areas of the mouth.

Full-Arch Restoration (All-on-4)

The All-on-4 technique allows you to replace a full arch of teeth with just four strategically placed implants.

How It Works:

Four implants are placed in the jawbone — two at the front and two at an angle at the back.
A custom fixed bridge is attached to the implants, restoring an entire arch of teeth.

Benefits:

Provides a permanent, stable solution for missing teeth.
No need for bone grafting in most cases due to the angled placement of the implants.
Restores full bite strength and chewing function.

All-on-4 is a life-changing option for patients with significant tooth loss or failing dentures.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures are a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures.

How It Works:

Two to four implants are placed in the jawbone.
A custom-made denture is attached to the implants using a secure clip or bar system.
The denture can be removed for cleaning but remains stable while eating and speaking.

Benefits:

No slipping or movement — stays firmly in place.
Improved comfort compared to traditional dentures.
Preserves bone density and facial structure.

A great solution for patients who need the affordability of dentures with the stability of implants.
