Types of dentures
Fixed dental prostheses on natural teeth
Colloquially called "bridges," these prostheses are attached to natural teeth that serve as abutments. Self-fusing crowns made of metal or zirconium ceramic are used for dentures of natural teeth. A crown is placed on the natural tooth that is to be supported by an artificial tooth, and the missing tooth is inserted in the center.
Fixed Dental Prosthetics on Implants
In cases where multiple teeth are missing, the solution is a fixed prosthesis, which is cemented onto an implant, placed in an artificial root, and to which a replacement tooth is attached. The best implants are osseointegration implants made of titanium, a metal that bonds to bone. Dental implants integrated into the bone of the lower and upper jaw ensure complete stability of the prosthesis.
All on 8 prosthesis
All on 8 dentures consist of 8 dental implants per dental arch. It is the best treatment for patients who have lost more than 80 percent of their natural teeth. The implants support fixed (and therefore permanent) dental bridges of 12 to 14 teeth. First, an implant is placed in the jaw as a temporary prosthesis. A dental bridge or removable denture is then attached. The procedure takes 2 to 4 hours.
All on 6 prosthesis
All on 6 dentures are permanent dentures using 6 implants per arch. In one session, or in any case within 24 hours, the patient will have temporary teeth, which will be replaced with permanent dentures about 3 months after the procedure.
