Types of Dental Implant Procedures that We Offer

Based on your individual needs, we offer these types of dental implants:

One-day — As the name implies, one-day dental implants are total restorations of the mouth in a single, 24-hour period. They eliminate a long healing period while having to deal with the negatives associated with an empty space or a stay plate.
Full set/ full mouth — These are most beneficial for patients who have lost teeth over time, lost teeth due to trauma, or for those who have worn down teeth caused by chewing. During a full mouth dental implant procedure, multiple implants are placed to support a bridge or dentures.
Mini — Commonly referred to as “small implants,” mini-dental implants (MDIs) are toothpick- sized implants inserted during a less-invasive procedure by Dr. Chen. Once in place, an MDI can then be used to secure a set of unsupported dentures.
All-On-4— Also known as “full arch implants,” these are used as an alternative to conventional dentures when replacing a set of 4 or more teeth on the top or bottom teeth to rebuild natural chewing function and feeling of your own teeth. An added benefit of All-On-4 implants is the fact they eliminate painful and costly grafting surgery procedures and shorten the entire treatment time. With fewer implants needed in one arch, they can easily support a full arch of prosthesis.
Single tooth — Dr. Chen often uses this method to replace one missing tooth without compromising the health of the patient’s neighboring teeth. Once she’s done, the implant looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.

Are Implants Safe?

As a safe and effective teeth restoration procedure, dental implants have now been used for over half a century. At Butterfly Dental Care, Dr. Chen has been using them in her patients since 2011. Dental implants are typically made of medical grade titanium, a biocompatible material that is accepted by the body and serves as a strong and sturdy foundation for replacement teeth.

As with any medical procedure, there can be complications. Choosing an experienced, well- trained implant dentist like Dr. Chen will help minimize complications and ensure skillful handling of any problems, should they arise. It is important that you and Dr. Chen discuss your health history and any habits which could affect the success of your recommended care so that you are fully informed about the benefits and risks involved.
