Single tooth.<\/strong> An implant can be place in the bone to support a single crown. \u00a0This is typically the preferred option to replace a single missing tooth. \u00a0The alternative is a dental bridge that requires cutting down the adjacent teeth. Single teeth sites are typically straightforward procedures but are more complex if there is missing bone or if they are for aesthetic front teeth where bone or soft tissue grafts may be needed.<\/p>\n <\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Multiple teeth.<\/strong> In situations where multiple\u00a0teeth are lost or a previous dental bridge has failed then\u00a0implants can provide a “fixed bridge” non-removable solution. The alternative is a \u00a0long span bridge on adjacent teeth or \u00a0a removable partial denture. In some cases multi sites are done to provide fixed teeth to a fully endentulous arch.<\/p>\n
