Replace Missing Teeth With Multi-Unit Dental Implants in Sarasota
Missing several teeth affects more than appearance. Replacing them makes chewing easier, speaking more comfortable, and your overall facial structure look healthier. Multi-unit dental implants in Sarasota will restore stability, function, and confidence. As a prosthodontist (a specialist in replacing and restoring teeth), Dr. Howard Chasolen specializes in complex restorative solutions and has restored more than 17,000 dental implants.
At Chasolen - The Art of Fine Dentistry, Dr. Chasolen guides your multi-unit implant solutions through his advanced prosthodontic training and decades of clinical experience. His expertise allows for precise planning, predictable outcomes, and restorations that support both function and esthetics. With our help, you'll preserve bone, improve comfort, and restore balance to your smile.
Improve Your Dental Function With Implants
Multi-unit dental implants offer a level of stability and function unmatched by traditional replacement options. Rather than resting on top of your gums or relying on adjacent teeth for support, your implant-supported restorations are supported by your jawbone. You gain a foundation that's as strong and reliable as regular tooth roots.
Your implants are made of titanium. It's a biocompatible material that fuses with your bone through a process called osseointegration. It creates a bond that allows your implants to stimulate your jawbone and prevent the deterioration that typically follows tooth loss. By maintaining bone density, implants preserve your facial structure and prevent a sunken appearance.
Dr. Chasolen's approach combines technical expertise with artistic vision. He carefully evaluates your jaw structure, bone quality, and bite structure. This strategic planning ensures even distribution of chewing forces and long-term success of your treatment.
We Offer Multi-Unit Implants Tailored to Your Needs
Multi-unit dental implants can address various patterns of tooth loss. During your consultation, Dr. Chasolen will evaluate your oral health and discuss which approach will best meet your functional needs. Your treatment options include:
- Implant-Supported Bridges - Replace several missing teeth with a bridge anchored by dental implants. Unlike traditional bridges, which rely on healthy adjacent teeth, implant-supported bridges stand independently.
- Implant-Supported Dentures - If you're missing teeth in an entire arch, implant-supported dentures give you superior stability. You won't have to use messy adhesive and can enjoy more of the foods you love.
- Full-Arch Implant Restorations - We can replace an entire upper or lower arch with fixed implant-supported teeth. You'll enjoy a stronger bite with lifelike function, much like the strength of regular teeth.
Dr. Chasolen will help you understand the benefits and considerations of each approach. He'll restore your oral function, protect your jawbone, and give you a beautiful smile. Visit us for multi-unit dental implants in Sarasota.
Frequently Asked Questions About Multi-Unit Dental Implants
How long do multi-unit dental implants last?
Are multi-unit dental implants better than traditional dentures?
Multi-unit dental implants offer significant advantages over traditional dentures. By anchoring your dentures or full-arch prosthetic to implants, you'll preserve your bone structure and prevent the facial structure loss that can occur with only dentures. You can eat a normal diet without restrictions and care for implant-supported restorations just like regular teeth.
How many implants do I need to replace multiple teeth?
The number of implants needed depends on how many teeth you're replacing and their location. Typically, you don't need an implant for each missing tooth. Dr. Chasolen will evaluate your bone quality, bite relationships, and specific needs to determine the optimal number and placement of implants for your situation.
