If a tooth is missing or broken beyond repair, the best way to replace it is with a dental implant. For receiving a single implant…

[We transition to an animation of a mouth with a missing tooth. A titanium screw is placed in the spot where the tooth is missing, followed by a connecting post piece. Then, a crown that looks like the other teeth is connected to the titanium post]

 (Dr. Polnar)
A titanium post is placed in the jawbone and replaces the root part of the tooth, and a crown that looks and feels like a regular tooth is permanently attached to it.

[Another animation shows the process from a different and closer angle. We see the titanium screw being inserted next to the roots of the existing teeth followed by the crown being placed on top of the screw]

[We return to Dr. Polnar speaking at her desk]

It works and feels and functions just like your own tooth.

When people have a full arch of teeth that are missing are broken beyond repair, we have several ways of helping you to restore and get your teeth back.

[We see Dr. Polnar handling an implant overdenture, showing how a full set of teeth can be created and attached inside the mouth]

[We briefly return to Dr. Polnar speaking at her desk]

(Dr. Polnar)
An implant overdenture, also commonly known as a snap in denture, involves a removable appliance that snaps into the implants. And it helps to prevent that removable denture from moving around and falling out when you're trying to eat and speak.

[Another shot of Dr. Polnar holding the overdenture provides a better look at the way the denture appliance snaps into the implants]

[We return to Dr. Polnar speaking at her desk]

(Dr. Polnar)
We try to walk our patients through all of these options, explaining the pros and the cons, the time involved, and help our patients to make the very best decision for them.
