Case Studies: Replacing Two Teeth Missing From Birth

Top view of implants ideally placed in areas where teeth are missing.   X-ray of implants in place.

Implant "hardware" in place. We generally refer to the connections between implant and prosthesis as "hardware". Several steps may be necessary to attach a porcelain crown to an implant.   Close-up of the implant supported teeth. The teeth look as if they "grew" there naturally.

Finished restoration. If this were your mouth or your daughter's mouth, would you want healthy teeth ground down to accommodate "fixed" bridgework? I didn't think so...   What a beautiful smile!
