Fixed Prosthetics

Individual Teeth

Bicon implants can be restored by intra-orally or extra-orally cementing porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns or all-ceramic crowns to their abutments. Alternatively, they may be restored with the cementless and screwless Bicon Integrated Abutment Crowns™ (IAC).

Bridges

Although it is best to copy natural dentitions and have one implant per tooth, in certain situations it may be practical to utilize a fixed-bridge prosthesis.

Removable Prosthetics

Implant-Retained Denture

Rubber o-ring attachments provide for snap-on retention over implant abutments for a soft tissue borne removable denture.

 
Implant-Supported Denture

Either telescopic sleeve abutments or a screw-retained bar prosthesis provide for a frictionally retained and implant-supported removable denture.
