Understanding your options
A fixed foundation for replacing missing teeth.
An implant is placed in the jaw to support a crown, bridge or denture. The visible tooth and its foundation must be planned together so the result supports chewing, cleaning and a natural appearance.
You may need an assessment for
- A missing front or back tooth
- Several missing teeth or an unstable denture
- A gap where a bridge may not be preferred
Planning usually considers
- Medical history, gum health and bone support
- Bite forces and the space available for the final tooth
- Healing time, maintenance and alternative options
