Missing teeth
A gap can be filled in three ways. Which one suits you depends on the bone and the teeth either side — a 3D CBCT scan shows both.
- Dental implantA titanium or ceramic root with a crown on top, planned from a 3D CBCT scan.
- Dental bridgeA fixed replacement tooth joined to crowns on the teeth either side of the gap.
- DentureA removable replacement for one tooth or many.
- Several or all teeth missingSeveral implants, or a full arch on All-on-4 or All-on-6, chosen by the bone that remains.
