Implant-Supported Prosthetics

Implant-supported prosthetics are dental restoration methods that provide permanent and aesthetic solutions for patients with tooth loss. Prosthetics fixed on dental implants placed in the jawbone replace missing teeth, restoring the function and appearance of natural teeth. The implant-supported prosthetic services offered at our dental clinic aim to provide the best aesthetic and functional results.

What are Implant-Supported Prosthetics?

Implant-supported prosthetics are dental restorations placed on titanium dental implants embedded in the jawbone. Implants act as artificial tooth roots, and the prosthetics placed on them replace missing teeth. This system effectively addresses the aesthetic and functional problems caused by tooth lossç

Types of Implant-Supported Prosthetics

Fixed Prosthetics:
- Crowns: Single artificial teeth that replace individual missing teeth. They are placed on the implant and provide a natural appearance.
- Bridges: Restorations that replace multiple missing teeth and are anchored to adjacent healthy teeth or implants, filling the gap between missing teeth and restoring chewing function.
Removable Prosthetics:
- Dentures: Removable prosthetics fixed on dental implants, typically used in cases of multiple missing teeth and can be easily removed.
Implant-Supported Full Dentures:
- Full Dentures: Prosthetics that replace all teeth, placed on implants embedded in the jawbone. They provide a complete set of teeth.

How are Implant-Supported Prosthetics Performed?

Examination and Planning: Your dentist evaluates your oral and jaw structure. Tests such as X-rays or 3D imaging are performed to plan the implants and prosthetics.
Implant Placement: Titanium implants are placed in the jawbone. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, and the healing process can take several months.
Prosthetic Preparation: After the implants have healed, the prosthetics are custom-made in specialized laboratories to fit the patient’s oral structure.
Prosthetic Placement: The prepared prosthetic is placed on the implants. Your dentist will make any necessary adjustments for fit and aesthetics.

Post-Care for Implant-Supported Prosthetics

Hygiene: Regular cleaning of implant-supported prosthetics and maintaining oral hygiene is essential. Brushing and flossing are recommended.
Check-ups: Regular dental check-ups should be scheduled to assess the condition of the implants and prosthetics and make any necessary adjustments.
Diet: It is recommended to avoid hard and sticky foods. Over time, a normal diet can be resumed based on your dentist’s recommendations.
