General Dentistry and Implants
Crowns
A crown is placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function. Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. Other materials include gold and metal alloys, acrylic and ceramic. These alloys are generally stronger than porcelain. Porcelain bonded to a metal shell is often used because it is both strong and attractive.

Dentures
An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that is supported by and attached to implants. A regular denture rests on the gums, and is not supported by implants.An implant-supported denture is used when a person doesn't have any teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. An implant-supported denture has special attachments that snap onto attachments on the implants.
Partials
Implant-retained removable partial dentures have made treatment options available to patients who previously may not have been able to benefit from implant dentistry. A partial denture replaces one or more teeth, as opposed to a full denture, which replaces all the teeth in a jaw. Partials generally attach to the remaining teeth by means of rests and clasps. It is removable by you; it is not fixed in place in your mouth
