Crowns Over Implants
Instead of a removable or fixed bridge, many patients with a missing tooth are choosing dental implants for replacement. Implants look, feel, and function like a solid, natural tooth because they mimic tooth structure. The procedure involves placement of a small titanium screw into the jaw. Atop this screw, Dr. Fitzgerald secures a permanent, esthetic crown that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth. Patients can care for implants just as they do natural teeth – with twice daily brushing, daily flossing, and two checkups each year.
