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

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

Replacing dentures<\/strong>. \u00a0If you have full dentures or a partial denture and you want to “get rid of the denture” then multiple implants can be used to achieve a fixed solution. \u00a0In the case where a full arch of teeth is missing implants can provide a “fixed” non removable\u00a0denture bolted in place with a little as\u00a04 implants. \u00a0For tooth like restoration implants can\u00a0support a series of fixed bridges that are more like dental bridges but on implants instead of teeth.<\/p>\n

Supporting dentures<\/strong>. \u00a0If you are “ok” wearing a denture but want a\u00a0more stable denture, then implants can be used to assist with retention. \u00a0As little as 2 implants with a snap-on connector can provide cost effective support for a lower denture. \u00a0For more stability and also for\u00a0the upper arch 4 implants are usually used and connected to a\u00a0bar to lock the denture in place.<\/p>\n
