All Missing Teeth - Treatment Procedure:
The course of treatment described here is one of several options available. Your dentist will advise as to what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.
Step 1 - Before procedure:
Having obtained the necessary information to establish the treatment options available, the dentist can create individual treatment plans.
The patient will then have the opportunity to discuss the treatment options with the Implant Co-Ordinator, to help make an informed decision. |
Step 2 - Installing the implants:
The first step is installing dental implants to replace the lost tooth roots. In this case, five implants are used. Temporary teeth are attached that enable you to eat and function as normal while waiting for the permanent bridge to be installed. |
Step 3 - Attaching the bridge:
The final bridge is securely installed on top of the implants. With a full jaw replacement like this, it normally takes 2-3 visits to have the bridge completely attached. |
Step 4 - End result:
Your new teeth should be hard to tell from natural – both for you and others. People who have had traditional dentures before getting a fixed bridge often describe this as an overwhelming and very positive experience. |
