All implant procedures aim to provide a temporary crown for a single tooth implant within a few days after the implant has been inserted and over-denture within 3 weeks.

This depends on the bone volume and quality at the place where the implant is placed. If the bone volume or the quality is insufficient, the implant will be covered by the gum for a healing period.In the upper jaw the healing period is approximately 6 months and in the lower 3-4 months. Patients will be able to use a denture or a temporary restoration (crown) during the healing period except for the first 10 days after surgery.

Appearance

Besides good function during chewing, the ideal replacement must look like natural teeth, both to you and others. The solutions possible through Dr. Harris's implant supported bridges take advantage of the best appearance possibilities available in dentistry and modern dental technology.

Confidence

The ideal replacement for your missing teeth must also feel like natural teeth and be easy to clean. Knowing your teeth are stable during eating and talking means a lot. You'll also be glad your treatment didn't require grinding on your remaining natural teeth.
