Implant-supported restorations in Matamoros, Mexico
This is the visible, functional part of implant treatment: the crowns, bridges or dentures that are fixed to or supported by implants. Their design affects appearance, bite and how easy they are to clean.
When it may be an option
- You already have healed implants and need the restoration.
- Your implant restoration is damaged or loose.
- Your full denture moves and could be supported by implants.
- Your implants were placed at another clinic and you need to continue treatment.
Treatment options
Implant crown
Replaces a single tooth. It can be screw-retained or cemented, depending on the case.
Implant bridge
Replaces several teeth supported by two or more implants.
Fixed full-arch restoration
Replaces all the teeth in an arch and isn't removed at home.
Overdenture
A removable denture that snaps onto implants for more stability.
How the process works
The number of visits depends on the type of restoration. We give you an estimated schedule after your evaluation.
- 1
Implant evaluation
Gums, stability and X-rays of the implants are reviewed.
- 2
Records
A scan or impressions, depending on the case and implant system.
- 3
Design
The specialist and HG Dental Lab design the restoration.
- 4
Try-in
Fit, bite and appearance are checked.
- 5
Delivery
The final restoration is fixed in place or delivered.
- 6
Maintenance
Checkups, professional cleanings and, for removable dentures, periodic replacement of attachments.
Possible benefits
- A restoration designed to measure on your implants.
- More stability than a conventional denture.
- Clinic and lab plan shape, bite and cleaning access together.
Limitations and considerations
- It requires well-healed implants and healthy gums.
- Restorations can loosen, wear or need repair.
- It needs specific hygiene around the implants.
- If implants were placed at another clinic, compatible components are needed; this isn't always possible.

Featured case
Two implants with screw-retained crowns
Implants healing → Crowns in place
Replace two missing back teeth.
See details
Procedure: Two implants and, after healing, two screw-retained crowns on them.
These are screw-retained crowns: in the photo the screw access hole is still open. Once finished, it is sealed with tooth-colored resin, so it does not stay like this in the mouth. Thanks to the screw, if they ever need to be checked, they can be removed and put back without damaging them.
