Aesthetic Crowns & Bridges
A Dramatic Rejuvenation
When multiple teeth are
missing, often multiple connected crowns can be used to reconstruct jaw segments
or even a whole jaw. They can be used to replace teeth that are lost due to
decay, fracture, root canal failure, or other causes. The rejuvenation is
dramatic as you return to complete function with esthetics. The multiple tooth
reconstruction can be done with crowns and bridges,
a screw down Hybrid implant bridge (fixed), or an over denture (removable) over
an implant supported bar.
A Tooth-Supported Extensive Fixed Bridge
A six-tooth fixed porcelain bridge has been fabricated to replace four missing upper front teeth. It was permanently cemented in place, creating a secure, reborn jaw with new teeth. This bridge is permanently held in place using only the patient’s existing two canine teeth.
