If you lack all teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full prosthesis can replace them. Dental implants replace your lost natural teeth and some roots. Ideal for severe cases. They can be as natural as the normal teeth with which most people were born.
Full-bodied Dental Implants
If you lack all teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full prosthesis can replace them. Dental implants replace your lost natural teeth and some tooth roots.
What are the advantages of implant-supported solid bridges and implant-supported prostheses over conventional dentures?
Dental implants offer several advantages over other denture options. Implant-supported full bridges or prostheses not only look like natural teeth and also work that way but are also designed for long service life. Fully integrated bridges and prostheses are also more comfortable and stable than conventional prostheses, so you can maintain a more natural bite and chewing ability.
Since implant-supported fixed bridges and dentures replace some of your tooth roots, your bone is also better protected. At regular dentures, the bone that previously surrounded the roots of the teeth begins to dissolve. Dental implants integrate into your jawbone and help keep the bone healthy and intact.
In the long term, implants can be more aesthetic and easy to care for than conventional prostheses. The loss of bone tissue related to regular dentures leads to a reduction in the jawbone and the appearance of a sunken, bad-looking smile. Regular prostheses make it difficult to eat certain foods.
How Are The Implants Used?
Implants are initially placed in the jaw that look like screws or cylinders. Over the next two to three months, the implants and the bones can grow together and thus form the anchorage for your artificial teeth. During this time, a provisional denture can be worn over the implant sites.
A second step of the procedure is often required to expose the implants and apply extensions. These provisional healing caps, along with various fasteners that can be used to attach multiple crowns to the implants, form the foundation on which your new teeth will stand. After this procedure, your gums must heal for a few weeks.
There are some implant systems ( premature ) where this second step is not necessary. These systems use an implant to which the extension piece is already attached. Your periodontologist will advise you which system is best for you.
Depending on the number of implants placed, the connecting device that will hold your new teeth can be screwed onto the implant, or it is attached to a bridge or a round ball anchor, on which a prosthesis snaps in and out.
Finally, full bridges or full dentures are made for you, which are attached to small metal posts, the so-called abutments, or connecting elements. After some time, you will be sure of your smile and your ability to chew and speak. Each case is different, and some of these steps can be combined if the conditions
