Implant-Supported Crowns, Bridges, and Dentures

While there are a variety of tooth replacement options, a dental implant is the only option that fully replicates your entire tooth from root to crown. Our practice offers three varieties of implant-supported restorations so that we can customize your treatment to your smile.

Crowns: An implant-supported crown is the ideal replacement for a single missing tooth. The crown is used to top a dental implant, restoring your smile and preventing neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap.


Bridges: An implant-supported bridge is anchored to surgically-placed dental implant posts. The number of implants used will depend on your situation, but a common configuration is two implanted posts supporting three teeth. An implant bridge is conservative in nature because it doesn't affect the health of adjacent natural teeth.


Full & Partial Dentures: When it comes to implant-supported dentures, the prosthetic teeth are supported by 6-8 dental implants and are fixed in place. They are sturdier, less bulky, and do not require adhesives. We offer both partial and full dentures to suit your specific needs. Modern implant dentures look natural and help prevent bone loss by providing continued stimulation to the jawbone.

3D Cone-Beam Imaging

Our practice uses 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. 3D cone beam imaging is one of the most innovative developments in modern dentistry. With this fast, simple, and painless technology, we can quickly 3D images of your facial bones, teeth, nerve pathways, and soft tissues in full color with a single scan.

3D imaging has become our standard of care for dental implant treatment planning. It allows us to know if bone grafting is needed, provide a detailed plan before surgery, and place implants with the utmost accuracy. Dr. Baldwin will review your scan with you, explain all the relevant findings, and make sure every angle is covered to give you the best treatment possible.

Bone Grafting

dental implants in San FranciscoBecause the dental implant posts go deep down into the jaw, you need to have healthy bone growth to support the titanium posts. If your jawbone isn't thick enough or is too brittle, bone grafting may be necessary. The deficiency of natural bone may be caused by face injury, gum disease, development defects, and empty spaces where teeth have been removed. A bone graft helps create a solid base for the implant and ensures it can withstand the powerful force of daily chewing.

Dr. Baldwin will discuss with you the options that will work best for your situation. After your bone grafting procedure in San Francisco, it may take four to six months for the transplanted bone to grow enough new bone for the placement of an implant.

All-on-4® Implants

Our practice in San Francisco offers All-on-4 dental implants. Also known as full-arch fixed implant bridges, this solution uses four implants for each jaw instead of a separate implant for each missing tooth. This technique provides greater stability, comfort, and freedom than traditional dentures.
