Dental Implants Offer Numerous Advantages

Dental implants involve placing strong titanium rods into your jawbone and then attaching replacement teeth to the rods. They feel and function like your natural teeth. Dr. Biggers both places and restores implants right here in our office.

Advantages of dental implants include:

  • Unlike bridges, dental implants do not need to be anchored to nearby teeth, which can weaken those teeth.
  • You can forget about messy adhesives, soaking your teeth in a glass, problems eating, and other hassles of dentures.
  • Dental implants typically last longer than bridges or dentures. With proper care, they can last a lifetime.

Get Dental Implants in a Day

Dental implants typically require multiple visits to the dentist. That’s because it’s necessary to allow bone to grow around the implant to ensure your replacement teeth will stay put, a process that may also involve your dentist placing a bone graft before sending you home so your bone can heal.

However, Dr. Biggers has received the specialized training necessary to perform a sophisticated dental implant procedure called All-on-6. Instead of the time-consuming process of placing individual replacement teeth on individual implants, Dr. Biggers uses advanced techniques that allow him to place six implants and then affix a dental bridge to them. For example, Dr. Biggers can take a 3D X-ray which will help him prepare for your procedure. This detailed image will ensure that there are no surprises on your big day.

This procedure gives you the advantage of receiving your dental implants and new teeth all in the same visit. It can even be performed immediately after a tooth extraction. This is not only more convenient but typically less costly as well.

To find out more about All-on-6 and other dental implant techniques, call Biggers Family Dentistry at 804-744-4000 for a free consultation in our Midlothian, VA office. You can also request an appointment using our convenient online form.
