What Types of Prosthesis are Available?

A single prosthesis (crown) is used to replace one missing tooth as each prosthetic tooth attaches to a single implant. A partial prosthesis (fixed bridge) can replace two or more teeth and may require only two or three implants. A complete dental prosthesis (fixed bridge) replaces all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. The number of implants varies depending upon which type of complete prosthesis (removable or fixed) is recommended.
