Implant Dentistry
Implant dentistry is an area of dentistry focusing on dental implants. A dental implant is a tooth replacement solution that involves the placement of an artificial tooth root into the jawbone after a tooth is extracted or lost. For more than 30 years, dental implants have been successful and every year in the United States, more than 5 million patients undergo dental implant surgery.
At 5th and Olive Dental, we offer a variety of tooth restoration options, including dental implants.

What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction provides significant aesthetic and functional improvements and is often recommended for patients who have:
Multiple missing/damaged teeth due to decay or trauma
Extensive gum disease
Severe tooth wear due to erosion (diet/acid reflux) or bruxism
Genetic conditions that cause teeth to be poorly developed
These issues can impact a patient’s appearance, bite, and their ability to use their teeth- but full mouth reconstruction can resolve these issues.

Denture stabilization is the process of using dental implants to stabilize dentures. Some patients only require 2 implants to stabilize their dentures, while others may require up to 8. This depends on the size of their arch, as well as the quality of their jawbone.

Yes, you can convert your traditional dentures into snap-on dentures. All you must do is attach the connectors to the dentures and have implants put in. This is one of the best upgrades you can make if you have traditional dentures.
What are used to stabilize overdentures?
At 5th and Olive Dental, we use traditional endosteal implants to stabilize overdentures.
