Implant Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dental prostheses offer a durable and natural-looking option for replacing missing teeth and regaining your smile. These state-of-the-art restorations are secured with dental implants that provide unmatched stability and long-term oral health benefits. 

What are the Advantages of Implant Dentures?

  1. Robustness: Dental implants integrate with the jawbone and provide a strong and stable foundation for dental prosthesis.

  2. Longevity: With proper care, dental implants and over-implant prostheses can last for decades.

  3. Bone Protection: Implant teeth help prevent bone loss in the jaw by stimulating the bone, preserving its density and shape.

  4. Aesthetics: Dental prostheses on implants provide a very aesthetic restoration very similar to natural teeth.

  5. Function: These prostheses, which act as intraosseous bolts or intraosseous screws, effectively restore your ability to chew and speak while offering comfort and safety.

Types of Implant Top Dentures

  1. Fixed Dental Implant Veneer: A dental implant replaces a single missing tooth by supporting a custom-made dental crown.

  2. Implant Supported Bridge: This prosthesis replaces multiple missing teeth in a row, using two or more dental implants for support rather than resting on adjacent natural teeth.

  3. Implant Supported Prostheses: These dentures, also called palates, replace all missing teeth with dental implants that provide a basis for removable or fixed dentures.

How are Implant Supported Prostheses Applied?

  1. Treatment Planning: Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and bone structure, take an X-ray or XNUMXD dental film, and examine them to determine if implant-supported dental prostheses are right for you.

  2. Screwing the Dental Implant: Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. This procedure is performed with the support of local anesthesia.

  3. Healing and Fusion: A few months of healing process allows the dental implants to fuse with the jawbone. During this period, temporary dental prosthesis can be inserted.

  4. Dental Prosthesis Manufacturing: Measures are taken from your mouth and a dental laboratory creates your special implant-based dental prosthesis.

  5. Denture: Your dentist will secure the denture to the dental implants, ensuring a comfortable fit and proper function.
