When one or more teeth are missing and implant is not the proper solution, we fill the gap with a bridge, supported by the adjacent teeth.
With all-ceramic crowns and bridges, we can perform highly aesthetic and biocompatible dental restorations. These restorations mimick the natural appearance of the teeth. As they do not have a metal skeleton, the unsightly black line in the gums is avoided and the biologic integration of prosthetic work is ensured.
When the teeth are lost, there are no posterior teeth for supports, and implant placement is not feasible, then we resort to the solution of the partial removable denture. When all the teeth are missing in one or both of the jaws, then the choice is the complete removable denture.
Implants have been the biggest revolution in dentistry for nearly 60 years. They are used either to restore a tooth, anterior or posterior, or more teeth, thus serving as a support for bridges. In cases where all teeth are missing, above or below, they can support entire dentures.
