To find out if implants are a solution for you, ask your doctor to evaluate you today.
The multiple-tooth restoration is used when two or more adjacent
teeth are missing.
Implants are placed at the site of each missing tooth.
Implants will be left to heal for a few weeks to several months, depending on
the quality of the bone.
Following healing, titanium posts are screwed into the implant bodies.
Restorations are then attached to the abutments with dental cement
or screws.
The replacement tooth, or crown, is cemented or screwed onto the implant, creating an esthetic and
functional restoration.

A fixed-detachable full arch restoration is used when all teeth aremissing in the upper or lower jaw. In this
procedure, multiple implants are placed.
A custom fixed-detachable full arch restoration is seated directly onto the
implants.
Using small screws, the restoration is then securedto the implant. This keeps the restoration stable and stationary, while enabling your dental practitioner to
remove it should the need arise, or for cleaning.
Final restoration of the fixed-detachable full arch.
