Single Tooth Replacement
- Unlike bridges and
dentures, implants more closely
mimic natural teeth in
appearance, feel and function.
- Unlike a conventional
three-unit bridge used to
replace a single tooth, the
healthy adjacent teeth do not
have to be modified to support
the bridge

An Implant is placed in bone and
covered with a protective cap
while it is allowed to heal.
Depending on the amount of bone,
your clinician may need to do
additional procedures to build
up the bone |
 |
|
 |
The final step
is to affix a crown shaped and
colored to match your
surrounding teeth. The finished
result matches your natural
teeth. The entire implant
procedure can be completed in as
little as two months, with just
three office visits |

Multiple Tooth
Replacement
Titanium implants are so
strong, and bond with bone so
well, that one may not be needed
for each tooth replaced.
|
|
|
| |
 |
Implants used to support a
bridge are placed and allowed to
bond in the same manner as a
single tooth implant. |
 |
When implants
are securely anchored in the
bone, healing abutments are
removed and final abutments are
attached to the implants. These
function as the core of the
replacement teeth that are
attached directly to the
implants.
|
 |
The bridge is
designed to be permanently
affixed to the implants. As with
a single tooth implant, the
finished result is as aesthetic
as your natural teeth, with the
same functionality. There are no
unsightly metal hooks or claps.
