We carry a large selection of attachments

Extracoronal

Extracoronal – Extracoronal attachments are positioned entirely outside
the crown contour. The advantages of this type of attachment
are that the normal tooth contour can be maintained, minimal tooth
reduction is necessary, and the possibility of devitalizing the tooth is
reduced. Also, the path of insertion is easier for patients with dexterity
problems.

Bar Type

Bar Type – Bar type attachments span the edentulous area and
connect abutments (teeth, roots or implants). The removable
bridge, partial denture, or overdenture fits over the bar and is
connected to it with one or more retention sleeves, riders/clips,
or microplungers. The advantages of bar attachments are that
they splint questionable abutments together for mutual support,
and in some instances, may allow for later conversion to a stud
type attachment if one of the abutments fail.

Radicular / Intratadicualar Stud Type

Radicular & Intraradicular Stud Type - Radicular & Intraradicular Stud type attachments are connected to a root preparation. The female or male is soldered or cast to the root cap coping. Some stud type attachments such as the Direct O-ring are directly cemented into the prepared root without utilizing laboratory procedures. Stud type attachments are also available to screw directly into implants.
