Implant-Supported Crown:

Implant supported crowns are a type of restoration used on patients who are missing only one tooth. It is a long-lasting and more natural-looking way of replacing a missing tooth. This type of restoration is able to replace a missing tooth from root to crown, which allows for it to work just as a natural tooth.

Implant-Supported Bridge:

A traditional bridge uses teeth on either side of the gap where teeth are missing for support. An implant-supported bridge uses two or more dental implants rather than the adjacent teeth. When a bridge uses natural teeth for attachment, the natural teeth must be prepped for crowns and are then subject to increased stress which may be damaging – particularly if the existing tooth, roots, or surrounding bone structure are already compromised. A dental implant-supported bridge replaces your missing teeth and avoids putting any additional stress on your natural teeth.
