Implants can hold a bridge or crowns where several teeth are missing.
Traditionally, several missing teeth would have been replaced with a removable partial or full denture.
Dentures have to be taken out and soaked at night. During the day, they can also look unnatural and rub painfully. Dentures and partials make it difficult or impossible to eat certain foods.
Several missing teeth do not always mean one implant for every tooth. Dr. Chu will review your scan and work with your restorative dentist to determine which teeth need support and how the final restoration should function.
Your consultation is where the pieces come together: the condition of the jawbone, the number and position of implants, any grafting that may be needed, and the timing for the crowns or bridge.
You will receive a clear recommendation and a quote before you commit to treatment. There is time to ask questions and understand the recovery plan in plain language.
