Implant Procedure for Missing Several Teeth
|
|||||||
| In the front of the mouth we may recommend
an implant bridge as opposed to individual front teeth implant crowns.
The main reason for this is cosmetic. The natural shape of the gums
in the “scalloped” shape and those tiny triangles of
gum in between the teeth can be created more predictably with a
bridge. In Dr. Amin’s office the esthetic outcome of the “pink
part,” the gums, is as important as the “white part,”
the teeth. Many patients and doctors often neglect the esthetics
of the gum contours, which truly makes a tooth look natural. In
addition, the bite forces are not as much as the back teeth, so
fewer implants can be used. After the initial examination, you can expect 1-5 additional visits until the final fixed teeth are permanently attached. In this schematic, when replacing three teeth in the far back of the mouth, a fixed bridge anchored to dental implants is an alternative. Traditional dentures can't offer the same stability or function. |
