Multiple Implants

Multiple Individual Implants

If you are missing multiple teeth in an area replacing them with individual implants will offer the most natural feeling result.

When each crown is supported by a separate implant it closely mimics the natural root to crown relationship. You can floss freely in-between them and you can expect them to perform just as your natural teeth would.  The procedure, healing, and restoration for multiple implants is the same as single ones.

Implant Retained Bridge

An implant retained bridge is very similar to a conventional bridge only it is implants that serve as the abutments and not the teeth.

An implant exists on either side of the gap and a bridge spans the space replacing the missing teeth.

An implant supported bridge will look and feel a lot like your natural teeth and is a strong dependable restoration.

Full arch implant retained bridge

These pictures represent a full arch implant retained bridge. This restoration is used on a patient that has lost all of their natural teeth and doesn’t want a removable denture.  Several implants are place around the arch and the bridge will be cemented onto posts.

The bridge is not removable and is a long lasting, reliable, esthetic restoration. Patients with implant retained bridges enjoy the look and feel of natural teeth.
