Fixed dental prosthesis on implants

Placement of implants is the latest alternative to enter the dental prosthesis market. This technique allows the replacement of one or more missing teeth by placing titanium implants directly in the jawbone. Thanks to the placement of implants, a patient will be able to recover all the comfort of a stable removable prosthesis. In the case of a fixed prosthesis (crown or bridge), the aesthetic and functional effect is comparable to natural dentition. In addition, the use (and modification) of neighbouring natural teeth is no longer necessary (as is the case with the fabrication of a bridge).

A treatment in implantology requires a lot of rigour, as much in the planning as in the realization. The collaboration of several specialists in the dental field (surgeon, dentist, dental technician) is necessary for the realization of the various stages. We start with a precise analysis of the case. The surgeon then places the implant in the bone. The whole thing is left to heal for a few months to allow the implant to integrate into the bone mass. Subsequently, the specialist can proceed to manufacture the prosthesis from impressions taken beforehand.

Removable prostheses on implants are ideal for patients whose complete dental prosthesis (denture) is unstable in the mouth due to a lack of gum support. The removable prosthesis can be made on implants using different methods. The method chosen will depend on the number of implants placed in the mouth and the functional restrictions (height available to manufacture the prosthesis, position of the implants, etc.).
