Natural-Looking Dental Implants Provide Our Naples and Fort Myers Patients Exceptional Tooth Replacement
We offer dental implants to help our patients from Naples, Fort Myers, and surrounding areas enjoy a permanent solution for restoring missing teeth and creating a completely natural-looking, beautiful smile. Dental implants are titanium posts anchored in the bone that underlies the gums. Because they integrate with the bone and become a part of the jaw, they preserve bone structure and prevent the inevitable bone loss that results from missing teeth. Carefully color-matched porcelain teeth bonded to the dental implants provide unmatched tooth replacement virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Dental implants also provide unrivaled stability for dentures and dental bridges. For the comfort of our patients, all of our implant procedures can be performed using sedation dentistry.
Implant Crowns
Traditional crowns cover an existing tooth remnant with a natural-looking porcelain tooth. However, when the existing tooth has been lost completely or has suffered damage so severe that a crown cannot be bonded to the remaining structure, an implant crown provides an excellent solution. First, the root is replaced with a titanium dental implant that securely integrates with the jawbone. He then affixes the porcelain crown to the root. The result is tooth replacement that looks and feels completely natural. After having a crown or bridge placed on dental implants, our Fort Myers and Naples patients often report that they sometimes forget which teeth were replaced.
Implant Bridges
Implant-supported dental bridges provide several benefits over traditional bridges. Because the titanium dental implants fuse to natural bone structure, they stabilize dental bridges and eliminate movement. The implants' integration with the jaw helps maintain oral health by preventing bone and gum loss. Traditional bridges require support from abutting teeth, which can negatively impact these teeth and cause dental problems. Freestanding implant bridges support and maintain the health of adjacent teeth. Perhaps the greatest advantage a dental bridge supported by dental implants provides our Naples and Fort Myers patients is that our patients regain the confidence to smile and eat in any social situation. An implant-supported dental bridge looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth and bestows the ability to smile broadly and beautifully. Contact our Bonita Springs office today to learn more about the benefits of an implant bridge.
Implant Dentures
Traditional dentures have the annoying and often embarrassing characteristics of shifting and producing audible clicks. Implant dentures eliminate these problems permanently. Several titanium implants anchor a metal bar that firmly locks the dentures into place for exceptional stability. Traditional dentures can lose their fit as bone and gum naturally diminish without the support of natural teeth. The titanium posts that support implant dentures also support and maintain bone and gums. As well as maintaining the health of the jaw and mouth, this support maintains facial structure and prevents the hollow-cheeked, prematurely aged look that can accompany tooth loss. Two especially nice benefits of the dental implants — according to our Naples, Fort Myers, and Bonita Springs patients who have had implant dentures — are that implants eliminate the need for messy, unpleasant adhesives, and they end the uncomfortable and sometimes painful gum irritation so common to traditional dentures.

Bone Grafting
Some patients seeking tooth restoration with dental implants come to us after being told that they do not have enough bone structure to support an implant. They want to enjoy all the advantages of implants, but they have significant bone loss. Dr. Eck can help virtually any patient achieve a beautiful smile with dental implants by using bone grafting techniques. Using bone taken from the chin or another area of the body, or synthetic bone-like materials, our highly skilled dentists can augment underlying bone so that it can support an implant. If you have been told "no" to your desire to have aesthetic and functional dental implants because you have insufficient bone structure, we urge you to make an appointment to see Dr. Eck . Our skilled dentists have the training you seek to give you the beautiful smile of your dreams.
