PROCEDURE FOR IMPLANT

Multiple missing teeth

Step 1


Some people lose teeth in the back of the mouth. This is typically caused by gum infection (periodontitis) or by teeth cracking due to previous fillings.

Step 2

Between two and four dental implants are installed for a dental implant bridge. This solution does not affect your own teeth. Gums are sutured back over the bone and the implants . The sutures are removed after a period of 8-10 days .The bridge will function for many years, regardless of the condition of your existing teeth.

Step 3


Small posts called “abutments” are attached to the dental implants after 2-3 months.. The next step is to fit a bridge; the new set of teeth is placed on the abutments.

Step 4
The dental implant bridge is now in place and can withstand the strong chewing forces that occur in the back of the mouth. It feels and functions like natural teeth.
