Implant-supported prosthesis treatment is one of the most effective solutions offered by modern dentistry for individuals who have experienced tooth loss. Implant-supported prostheses are artificial teeth placed on dental implants to restore the function and aesthetics of missing teeth.
Dental implants are titanium screw-like structures surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as the foundation for the artificial teeth. In addition to replacing lost teeth, implants also help preserve the health of the jawbone.
Types of Implant-Supported Prostheses
•Complete Dentures: Used when all teeth are missing, these prostheses are typically placed on four or more implants.
•Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain, partial dentures work in combination with the remaining teeth and are anchored onto implants.
At A1 Dent Oral and Dental Health Clinic, we offer personalized, high-quality implant-supported prostheses to meet both the aesthetic and functional needs of our patients. Here’s what you need to know about the implant-supported prosthesis treatment process.
Implant-Supported Prosthesis Treatment Process
The treatment involves the following steps:
1. Evaluation: Your dentist will assess your oral structure and dental health to determine the suitability of implants and decide on the appropriate type of prosthesis.
2. Implant Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, usually under local anesthesia.
3. Healing Period: A few months are needed for the implant to fuse with the jawbone, a process known as “osseointegration.”
4. Prosthesis Design: After healing, your dentist will design the prosthesis by taking measurements to create a custom-fit prosthesis.
5. Prosthesis Placement: The prepared prosthesis is placed on the implant, and final adjustments are made.
6. Education and Care: Patients are informed about how to maintain and care for their new prostheses.
Advantages of Implant-Supported Prostheses
•Natural Appearance: Implant-supported prostheses provide a natural look that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth, offering aesthetically pleasing results.
•Functional Improvement: Patients can comfortably perform daily activities like eating and speaking with the help of implant-supported prostheses.
•Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, implants can last for many years, offering a more permanent solution compared to other dental treatments.
•Bone Health: Implants help prevent bone loss in the jaw, maintaining the natural structure of the teeth.
