“Implant crowns and bridges are transforming our patients,” says Dr. Surbhi Chandna. “They offer a permanent, natural-looking solution that helps restore confidence and quality of life.”
The process of implant crowns and implant bridges
Bright smiles ensures a seamless and patient-focused process, from the initial consultation to the final restoration.
Step 1: Initial assessment and preparation
The journey begins with a thorough dental exam to assess your oral health and ensure there are no medical concerns that could complicate the procedure. A key factor assessed at this stage is the condition of your jawbone, which plays a critical role in supporting dental implants.
Step 2: Bone grafting for insufficient bone density
For patients with insufficient jaw bone density, bone grafting may be required to create a strong base for the dental implant. This process usually involves a 3-4 month healing period during which the bone integrates and becomes dense enough to support the implant.
In the meantime, temporary solutions such as an Essix retainer or removable partial denture are offered to maintain aesthetics and function while the jaw heals.
Step 3: Implant placement
Once the jawbone is ready, titanium dental implants are surgically placed in collaboration with Radiant Smiles’ specialized oral surgery team. Over the next 3-4 months, the implants undergo osseointegration, where the bone fuses securely with the implant, ensuring stability and longevity.
Step 4: Custom crown or bridge placement
After the implant is securely embedded, the final step is the creation and attachment of the custom implant crown or bridge. These dentures are carefully crafted to match the color, shape and size of your natural teeth. With a typical lab turnaround time of just two weeks, patients can enjoy their restored smile quickly and confidently.
A life-changing solution for missing teeth
Implant crowns and bridges provide a permanent alternative to traditional removable dentures, offering superior strength, aesthetics and comfort. Patients can enjoy the benefits of a fully functional, natural-looking smile that enhances both appearance and oral health.
“Our goal is to provide our patients with high-quality, long-lasting solutions that positively impact their lives,” adds Dr. Chandna. “Implant crowns and bridges accomplish just that, giving patients the freedom to smile, eat and speak with confidence.”
