IMPLANT CROWN
An implant-supported crown is a dental prosthesis that replaces a missing
tooth by inserting an artificial titanium root (dental implant) into the
jawbone and attaching an artificial tooth (crown) to it. It is either screwed
or cemented in place and cannot easily be taken out.
Implant supported
crowns are a type of restoration used on patients who are missing only
one tooth. It is a long-lasting and more natural-looking way of replacing a
missing tooth. This type of restoration is able to replace a missing tooth
from root to crown, which allows for it to work just as a natural tooth.
Dental Implant Bridges are used when a patient has larger edentulous spaces (Bigger gaps of missing teeth) So instead of replacing each Individual tooth with a single Implant, with a diagnosis the doctors can determine the correct amount of Implants needed and where they need to be distributed, considering the biomechanics and biting forces as well as occlusion.
This option may offer a dental tourist patient the chance to have a fixed implant bridge of 3 teeth using only 2 Dental implants. The fixed bridge is self supporting and will be permanently attached to the jawbone and ceases the need to change, alter any natural teeth remaining.
