Multiple Teeth or Full Arch Replacement
Replacing multiple teeth using dental implants with individual crowns or with an implant-supported fixed bridge gives your teeth a level of fit, feel and functionality that is not possible with other treatment options. The process is often completed over multiple visits:
Consultation and planning, including initial exam, imaging of your teeth, questions about your dental and medical history, and discussion of your treatment options.
Placement of the dental implants that will be used to support your replacement teeth. Temporary teeth can be placed while the dental implant integrates with your natural bone to form a strong foundation for your replacement teeth. Most people return to work the next day, and any discomfort can typically be treated with commonly used pain medication.
Placement of the abutments (connecting posts), or a small extension that will help connect your replacement teeth, on top of each implant, if needed.
Placement of a fixed, implant-supported bridge, or custom-made replacement teeth (crowns).
