UPPER PREMOLAR DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants to replace lost maxillary premolar teeth

MAXILLARY PREMOLAR tooth loss is very noticeable on smiling. Dentures and bridges are the first option to restore these teeth, but dental processes to provide such traditional forms of restoration can be very destructive to adjacent crowns.

Implants offer the most conservative, natural and lasting option for replacement of the lost maxillary premolar tooth. Specialist surgical techniques exist for enhancement of surrounding bone and gum tissue, and implant restorative dentists are available that provide superb contouring and colouration to the final crown product.

Overall, the interaction between a specialist oral & maxillofacial surgeon, and an implant restorative dentist helps guarantee the most lasting and natural result possible.

Case 6 This 63 year old company CEO had a series of poor dental experiences culminating in complete disintegration of a maxillary molar. After 1.5 hrs of surgery, his general dentist gave up continuing to remove the fractured roots, and he was sent to the specialist surgeon instead.

Case 7 This 60 year old medical practitioner had lost his upper left first premolar tooth some time ago. As there was naturally even spacing between his teeth, loss of the premolar had created quite a long gap, and a denture or bridge was aesthetically impossible.
