implant restoration
of back teeth
|
Before the introduction of implants, missing back teeth had to be
replaced by either fixed bridgework cemented onto the teeth, or partial dentures;
which clip onto the teeth, and exert pressure on the gum tissues as well as trapping food
particles. In fact, before implants, there was virtually no way you could avoid
having a partial if your were unfortunate enough to not have any surviving back teeth on
one or both sides of your upper or lower jaw.
|
|
When replacing back teeth, wider implants are usually
placed utilizing the same gentle surgical techniques.
|
|
Implant care solves these problems by providing you with natural, fixed
replacement teeth; eliminating the need for a partial denture and sparing
neighboring teeth from being "ground down" to receive bridge anchor crowns.In our office, this is the type of implant care we find ourselves
providing most frequently. Our patients report a major improvement in comfort,
convenience, and "chew-ability"; especially those who used to have clip-on
partial dentures.
|
|
Once the implants have
integrated (bonded) to your bone tissue, connectors, or "abutments"
are attached to the implants, and your new bridgework is attached.
|
|
If you're interested in looking in to your possibilities for replacing
your back teeth, feel free to give us a call for your consultation. As always, if
you are able to bring your own X-Rays, initial consultation is complimentary. If you
do need us to take X-Rays for you, we will take as few as
possible in order to provide you with an informed recommendation for your implant care. |
|
Your final reconstruction gives you
new, natural teeth that feel as solid as your own.
