IMPLANT BRIDGES
For patients with multiple missing teeth in a row, it may not be necessary to receive individual implants. The best alternative is a device called an implant bridge.
An implant bridge still requires implant surgery. But instead of one incision for every missing tooth, we can place two implants — one on either side where your teeth are missing — and attach the bridge on top. The bridge itself is made up of three or four connected new teeth. Our dentist will secure the ends to the implants, which will hold the teeth in the middle of the bridge securely in place.
IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURES
If you are missing most or all of your natural teeth and want a more permanent fix than our removable dentures, we can help you with implant-supported dentures.
Like bridges, implant-supported dentures require fewer surgical incisions. The difference is that these dentures span your whole jaw to replace all of your teeth. The end result looks so natural, and no one would even guess you have dentures!
STATE-OF-THE-ART-DIAGNOSTICS
Cross Creek Dental uses an advanced diagnostic imaging machine called Panorex (short for “panoramic x-ray”). It allows our dentists to get a complete picture of your mouth and sinuses to uncover any health issues that may need to be handled before your implant surgery, such as:
- Impacted teeth.
- Oral cancer.
- Fractures or bone trauma.
- Gum disease.
An added benefit of our Panorex system is that it allows our team to accurately measure and place your implants, like a map to your brand new smile!
