Dental Implant Restorations

Single Tooth Replacement

   - Unlike bridges and dentures, implants more closely mimic natural teeth in appearance, feel and function.
   - Unlike a conventional three-unit bridge used to replace a single tooth, the healthy adjacent teeth do not have to be modified to support the bridge
 



An Implant is placed in bone and covered with a protective cap while it is allowed to heal. Depending on the amount of bone, your clinician may need to do additional procedures to build up the bone
 
The final step is to affix a crown shaped and colored to match your surrounding teeth. The finished result matches your natural teeth. The entire implant procedure can be completed in as little as two months, with just three office visits
 
 
Multiple Tooth Replacement

Titanium implants are so strong, and bond with bone so well, that one may not be needed for each tooth replaced.

 

 



Implants used to support a bridge are placed and allowed to bond in the same manner as a single tooth implant.
When implants are securely anchored in the bone, healing abutments are removed and final abutments are attached to the implants. These function as the core of the replacement teeth that are attached directly to the implants.
The bridge is designed to be permanently affixed to the implants. As with a single tooth implant, the finished result is as aesthetic as your natural teeth, with the same functionality. There are no unsightly metal hooks or claps.

Immediate Function Implant
You can Leave with your new smile.
 
          Today the implant procedure may be performed with a tooth crown in place directly after implant placement or within a few days, meaning that you can eat and smile directly after the treatment.

          This makes implant treatment very similar to general crown & bridge restorations. The procedure is easy and very efficient: in one appointment is not only surgery performed but a provisional crown is also in place. Your discomfort is much reduced due to the less invasive procedure.

          Implants become a natural adjunct to teeth and you get immediately restored teeth – and immediate quality of life.

          The Immediate Function procedure with Nobel Biocare implants is clinically proven and the success rates are similar to those of conventional implant protocols. The results from these studies show that Immediate Function is possible in all oral regions and the following should be considered when performing the treatment.

          The result is that you leave the chair with teeth in place after a short and non-traumatic surgery with a minimum of post-operative reactions. This new modality provides enhanced patient satisfaction and simplifies the work of the treatment team.
 
FAQs
 
Q What does it mean with Immediate Function?
A The term "Function" was selected as it reflects the patient's perspective at implant treatment: Teeth in "function" immediately after implant placement.
   
Q What are the indications?
A Candidates for any implant treatment where high implant stability can be achieved and the implant loading can be controlled in the same manner as for a conventional two-stage treatment.
   
Q What factors in treatment planning are important?
A There should be sufficient bone at the implant site to allow for a good initial stability. The occusal conditions should be possible to control, i.e. avoiding extreme bruxers, unstable adjacent teeth, long cantilevers etc.
   
Q How does the soft bone react on immediate loading?
A If the special implant is used and if the initial stability criterion is reached the implant is likely to have a good prognosis also in soft bone.
   
Q Does the surgical steps/site preparation differ compared to conventional implant placement?
A Firm initial stability is of utmost importance. This can be achieved by using tapered implants and/or under-preparation techniques for the parallel wall implants.
   
Q Isn't there a high risk with immediate function in fresh extraction sites if the extracted tooth was removed because of infection?
A If the socket is curetted and perfectly cleaned from soft tissue remnants and an adequate stability is reached, the prognosis is likely to be good. However, more clinical documentation is called for at this situation.
