   Implants can  now predictably be used  to replace missing teeth. The main  benefit is that adjacent teeth do not have to be prepared for crowns as part of a fixed bridge. This is a more conservative and esthetic approach.

Implant prior to restoration placement and with restoration in place:
   
     In this case an upper left first bicuspid is replaced with an implant supported crown. I used a conventional titanium abutment and a porcelain fused to gold crown. If conventional crown and bridge techniques has been used, the cuspid would have needed to be prepared for a crown.

 

     

For this patient we used a new type of ceramic post and an all ceramic crown. This gives a more natural esthetic result. The molar crown just behind the implant was done by a previous dentist.
