METAL-FREE IMPLANT SUPPORTED CROWNS AND BRIDGES

An implant-supported crown replaces an entire missing tooth from root to crown.

WHAT IS AN IMPLANT SUPPORTED CROWN?
–
It is a ceramic dental crown that replaces a missing tooth. The crown is attached to the implant which is surgically embedded in the jawbone. Usually implant and a crown are connected by a little screw which goes through the crown to the implant.

WHAT IS AN IMPLANT SUPPORTED BRIDGE?
–
It is a ceramic bridge made of several crowns connected together and is used to replace several missing teeth. It has a false tooth (pontic) that is held in place by the abutment implants on either side of the gap.

FAQ

Is the treatment painful?

Treatment is not painful at all, some local anesthesia might be necessary just to avoid gum irritation.

Does it feel like natural teeth?

The feeling is a little bit different because your natural teeth have nerves and ligaments so you feel it better. Implant supported teeth in the beginning might feel a bit strange but in a few days you get used to it and you barely feel any difference.

How long does it take to put a crown on an implant?

After placing a dental implant within the bone in order to replace part of the root of the tooth, a few months must pass for osseointegration to take place. After that the crown can be placed and it usually takes 2 appointments every 5-7 days.

SEMI-FIXED IMPLANT OVERDENTURE

It is a full denture that is held in place by means of dental implants.

WHAT IS A SEMI-FIXED IMPLANT OVERDENTURE?
–
These dentures are retained by clips or bars or fasteners attached to implants. These dentures can be removed by the patient for cleaning.Semi-fixed implant dentures are a fantastic treatment option for individuals who are looking to replace their teeth in the upper or lower jaws. It also carries an advantage of securing multiple dental implants and making them extremely difficult to dislodge while speaking and eating.

FIXED HYBRID DENTURE
–
non-removable dentures that consist of a row of prosthetic teeth connected to a framework that is held in position by dental implants.

WHAT IS A FIXED HYBRID DENTURE?
–
The fixed hybrid denture is designed for patients missing all their teeth but wanting something more similar to their natural teeth. A hybrid overdenture is a full denture (including prosthetic teeth and gum tissue) that completely covers the upper (maxillary) or lower (mandibular) alveolar ridge and is firmly anchored to the jawbone with dental implants. This type of denture can only be removed by a dentist. Along with possessing superior stability, hybrid dentures are less bulky than overdentures. The decrease in bulk allows more room for the tongue but at the same time provides less support for the lips.
