FOUR TO FIVE LOWER IMPLANTS PERMIT A LOWER BRIDGE TO BE ANCHORED PERMANENTLY SO THAT THERE IS NO MOVEMENT OF THE PROSTHESIS AND FULL CHEWING FUNCTION IS RESTORED. THERE IS NO PRESSURE ON THE GUMS AND BONE SHRINKAGE STOPS. I HAVE BEING DOING THIS PROCEDURE WITH PREDICTABLE SUCCESS  ON HUNDREDS OF PATIENTS SINCE 1983.

LOWER JAW WITH CONSIDERABLE BONE LOSS                        FIVE IMPLANTS PLACED

COMPLETED BONE ANCHORED BRIDGE THAT WAS PLACED 17 YEARS AGO.  IMPLANT SUPPORT IS ONLY VISIBLE WHEN THE LIP IS PULLED DOWN SO IT IS NOT AN ESTHETIC ISSUE.
