Implant-supported dentures
The consequences of missing teeth
What are dental implants?
- Stimulation and regeneration of the jawbone, preventing sagging of the lower facial features;
- Strong, long-lasting results;
- Restoration of jaw function (chewing, speech);
- Natural-looking teeth.
Types of implant-supported dentures
There are two types of implant-supported prosthesis: removable and fixed. The choice depends on the particularities of your dentition, and these possibilities are chosen based on your needs. Removable prostheses are often preferred for the lower jaw, where two to four dental implants are placed on the lower jawbone. It's called removable because it's held in place by "clamps" on the implants, and can be easily removed. For the upper jaw, a fixed prosthesis may be recommended, generally anchored to four to six implants.
In all cases, implant-supported prostheses are a solid, long-term solution with many advantages.
The advantages of implant-supported dentures
- Increased stability;
- Protection against food infiltration into the prosthesis;
- Improved mastication and speech;
- Protection of soft tissues, which can be irritated or weakened by conventional prostheses;
- Bone stimulation to reverse bone resorption and prevent premature ageing of the face;
- A natural, aesthetic result.
