If you are missing one or more permanent teeth, Dr. Edward Moon may recommend dental implants in Mission Viejo, California. Dental implants are made up of a titanium implant post, a dental restoration, and an abutment. The implant post is designed to become a part of your jawbone. Because of this, dental implants look, feel and function like natural teeth. Whether you are missing one tooth or many, Edward Moon, DDS offers a variety of dental implant treatments to help restore the beauty and functionality of your smile.
Dental Implant Restorations
Single Implants
This treatment is for patients who are only missing one or a few teeth. After the dental implant post is placed and any required recovery time has passed, the implant is restored with a dental crown. This replaces individual teeth so that they can feel and function like natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
When a patient is missing multiple permanent teeth, single implants are not the only option. Less implants can be placed and connected and restored with a dental bridge. An implant-supported bridge is a great way to restore multiple teeth with a sturdy restoration.
All-on-4® Implants
If a patient is missing a full arch of teeth, All-on-4® implants may be recommended. Our advanced techniques in implant dentistry allow us to place just four dental implants to support an entire arch of teeth. A denture is attached to the four implants for a dental restoration that will not slip when you eat or speak.
