Implant Restorations

In situations where an individual is missing a single tooth, a crown (or cap) is affixed to a dental implant (medical grade titanium that acts as an artificial root). The crown is connected to the implant via an abutment (intermediate connector piece). This restoration is typically the ideal tooth replacement option when someone is missing a tooth.

When someone is missing several teeth in a particular area, a dental bridge (crowns connected together) can be affixed to 2 or more implants. This restoration is either cemented or screwed into place and isn’t removable.

This is a type of removable denture that is connected to dental implants (typically 2-4 implants). The dental implants have a special attachment that “click" the denture into place.

This option best simulates natural teeth for an individual missing all of their teeth. Several dental implants (4 or more) secure a fixed denture. This restoration is screwed into place and can only be removed by a dentist.
