Crown on implant
Bridge on implants
Crown on implant
This treatment replaces a single missing tooth using one dental implant anchored into the jawbone. The implant acts as an artificial root, while the custom-made crown is designed to look and function like a natural tooth. It is an effective solution for restoring an individual missing tooth without impacting nearby healthy teeth.
Bridge on implants
This restoration is intended for patients missing several teeth next to each other. Rather than placing an implant for each missing tooth, two or three implants are used as anchor to bridge a gap and restore the space created from extractions. A radiographic analysis is required to determine the number of implants required to support the bridge. This is key in treatment planning of a bridge implant support restauration. Furthermore, bone grafts are a solution for regions with increased bone loss. This solution makes the bridge conception more viable and resilient.
These restorations are performed by ProtaDent in collaboration with a dentist who specializes in implatology to restore function and appearance for patients missing single or multiple teeth. ProtaDent remains in charge of all patient referrals to the dentist.
Implant-supported crown for a single tooth
The implant-supported crown is a reliable solution for replacing a single missing tooth. It is designed to restore both the function and appearance of a natural tooth without affecting the surrounding healthy teeth.
The treatment is built around a titanium implant that is surgically placed into the jawbone, which thus acts as an artificial tooth root. The crown itself is carefully designed to match the shape, colour, and size of the surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
One of the key advantages of an implant-supported crown is that it does not require altering adjacent teeth. Unlike traditional dental bridges which rely on neighbouring teeth for support, the implant stands independently. This helps preserve the integrity of surrounding natural teeth, stops bone loss and reestablishes the esthetics lost after an extraction.
Overall, an implant-supported crown is considered one of the most effective and long-lasting options for single tooth replacement, offering a stable, natural-feeling, and visually discreet solution for patients with one missing teeth.

Implant-supported bridges for multiple teeth
An implant-supported bridge is a reliable solution for people who have lost 2 or 3 adjacent teeth. After careful treatment planning using radiographic scans, the number of implants required to support the bridge is inserted by the dentist.
Once the dental implants are inserted, healing time is required before the custom bridge is fixed onto the implants in the anterior region of the mouth. Because esthetics matters, the denturist’s objective is to ensure colour consistency choosing the right color and size of the future crown. Proper gingival management is also assessed through the monitoring of gingival recession after around 1 year to ensure the gums appearance is not affected.
Implant-supported bridges restores both chewing function and aesthetics, while also helping to maintain bone health by stimulating the areas where teeth are missing. It offers a more stable and durable alternative to removable partial dentures, particularly for patients missing several adjacent teeth and in an anterior region where patients want a more natural look.
Implant-supported bridges are commonly chosen for their strength, comfort, and natural appearance, making them a reliable long-term option for multi-tooth replacement.
The treatment process
- Consultation, treatment planning, imaging to assess bone density and spacing
- Implant placement surgery
- A healing period for the implant to fuse with the jawbone
- Attachment of your custom crown or bridge
- Scheduled visits to ensure comfort
