A crown is then attached to the implant, creating a natural-looking replacement tooth. Multiple Implants Used to replace several missing teeth in a row. Several implants are strategically placed in the jawbone, and a bridge or denture is attached to the implants, restoring the full function and appearance of the missing teeth. All-on-4 Implants An innovative technique used to replace an entire arch of teeth. This method utilizes four implants to support a full denture, offering a stable and functional solution for patients with extensive tooth loss.

Implant Placement This involves surgically placing the titanium post into the jawbone. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and may require a few days for healing. Abutment Placement Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the implant post, providing a connection for the crown.
