So take a look at fig. 1...seemingly two pretty normal looking teeth?
Well the patient certainly thinks so....they look good, they feel good and they bite good! But these are no ordinary teeth...they are super teeth....because underneath them they are just a little different than your average ordinary teeth!
This patient had lost the teeth in this region and we decided to replace them with implants...so...an implant surgeon placed two implants into the region and I was able to use the posts that emerged from the gum, also called the abutments, to build two caps(crowns).
Contrary to what many people have heard, there was minimal discomfort with the implant surgery and now the patient has two teeth that are probably stronger than any other teeth in his mouth....hence...superteeth
And in case you did not notice...the last tooth, that big molar, is also on an implant as the x-ray clearly shows!
So if you have lost a tooth...or two...or more...or even all of your teeth...then you can also have some superteeth....just ask for implants!!
