Fixed prosthesis can be crowns or bridges and aim to reproduce as close as possible the look of a natural dentition.

These dental pieces are created in the clinic's lab and are screwed onto the implants or placed over the tooth’s root; these cannot be removed by the patient.

A dental implant works like an artificial root, is made of titanium and is placed in one of the jaws, to support dental crowns.

A crown is the visible part, which can be placed on an implant or on a natural tooth root, which will replace a tooth.

The average time between placing an implant and a crown is 3 months. This is the time it takes to form bone around the implant.
