Dental prostheses

Dental prostheses are used both to replace natural teeth and to improve dental aesthetics, when the teeth are damaged but are still recoverable.

Dental crowns are artificial restorations that permanently replace broken, lost or chipped teeth. They are coatings that go beyond the original tooth. Crowns can be made of ceramic zirconium, ceramic metal, ceramic gold or all-ceramic.

In addition to perfectly replacing a tooth, they are also able to replicate its natural beauty. Fixed dental prostheses include both crowns and bridges fixed on natural teeth and those fixed on integrated bone implants. They are permanent dentures: they are cemented to natural teeth or artificial roots, so they cannot be removed.

Called “bridge” colloquially, this prosthesis is cemented onto natural teeth, which act as a pillar. For dental prostheses on natural teeth metal-ceramic or zirconium-ceramic crowns are used
On the natural teeth, which must support the artificial tooth, crowns are applied on the internal sides, in the middle of which the missing tooth will be inserted.

When several teeth are missing, a solution is the fixed prosthesis cemented on an implant, placed on an artificial root to which the replacement tooth is secured. The best implant is osteointegrated, created in titanium, a metal that fuses with the bone.
The implants integrated in the mandibular and maxillary bones allow complete stability of the dental prosthesis

All on 8 prostheses consist of 8 dental implants for each dental arch. It is an optimal procedure for patients who have lost at least 80% of their natural teeth. The implants support a fixed (permanent, therefore) dental bridge of 12-14 teeth.
First the implants will be placed in the jaw, with a temporary prosthesis. A dental bridge or removable overdenture is then attached. The intervention takes from 2 to 4 hours.

All on 6 prostheses are permanent prostheses that use 6 dental implants per dental arch. In a single session – or in any case within 24 hours – the patient will have a temporary set of teeth, which will then be replaced, about 3 months after the operation, with the definitive prosthesis.

1. Unlike removable dentures and fixed bridges, which rest on the gum or use adjacent natural teeth as anchors, All on 8 dentures are inserted into the jaw.
2. The artificial roots of prostheses are stable, like natural roots.
3. They improve chewing, and any other oral activity such as swallowing and speaking.
4. The surgery is fast and the recovery time is quick.
5. The dentures are identical to natural teeth and you will be able to smile again as before.
