THE IMPLANT-RETAINED PROSTHESIS

Several types of replacement options can be achieved with the use of dental implants. For those missing one single tooth, a single implant can be placed and restored with a single crown on the implant. When there is a space of one tooth or several missing teeth, two or more implants may be place to replace the gap with a bridge. If you are missing multiple or all of the teeth, implants may be placed to restore with a complete or partial dentures over the implants; this treatment option is called Overdentures which are removable type of dentures. If you are missing all of the teeth and are looking for a fixed route, placing several implants can help hold a fixed prosthesis called a hybrid.
