Implant prosthetics
People's permanent teeth are short-lived; after they are lost, new ones do not appear. This peculiarity of the human body has led scientists to search for new technologies to replace empty teeth. Orthopedists have come up with many methods to fully replace lost teeth. Orthopedic dentistry has seen an innovative technique that has surpassed the expectations of dentists - implant prosthetics. It is performed on advanced dental equipment using high quality materials.
Denta-Pro in Dnepr performs all operations involving prosthetics on implants. The dentist's service includes site preparation, bone augmentation, fabrication of prosthetic constructions according to patient's jaw anatomy, implant screwing in and fixation of dentures.
How are teeth restored on implants?
Prosthetics with implants are performed step by step.
- A titanium implant is placed.
- A gum former is fixed.
- An abutment, an element of the implant that is localized over the gum, is placed. It is designed to connect the stem to the denture tooth.
- A crown is placed.
When will you need implant dentures?
Orthopedists recommend implant dentures in cases of:
- the absence of a single tooth;
- loss of 2-3 teeth located in different parts of the jaw;
- complete absence of teeth;
- intolerance or allergic reaction to dental construction.
Techniques for implant dentures
Dentistry for dental implant prosthetics distinguishes 2 methods.
Express method.
This method is characterized by a single visit to the dentist. It can be applied immediately after a tooth extraction. This is a basic requirement for the implant to take root. Express prosthetics is characterized by the fixation of the artificial tooth on the implant once it is screwed in - no time is allowed for the healing process.
Traditional method.
This method is characterized by a six-month interval between the placement of the implant and the crown. This period is necessary for the implant to take root in the bone tissue.
Types of implant prostheses and their advantages
Implant prosthetics include several types, which the patient should become familiar with before visiting the dentist.
Telescopic dentures
Denta-Pro does not use telescope prostheses, but they rank high in modern prosthetic dentistry. This method is used when the jaw is completely edentulous. The denture is designed to be fitted over a whole row of missing teeth. Fixing such a prosthesis to the jaw does not require the placement of implants under all the crowns.
Telescopic method implies 2 types of attachment: on 4 and 6 pins. Orthopedists denture on 4 implants if there is atrophy of bone tissue. The load is distributed equally among all pressure points. There are fewer problems if the prosthesis is placed on 6 implants. This feature is due to the creation of more supporting elements for the prosthesis, which provides equal pressure on the jaw and prevents the destruction of bone tissue.
For telescope prostheses metal-ceramic crowns are used, but Denta-Pro does not use metal-ceramic. Our clinic uses quality material in prosthetics - zirconium. Prosthetics placed by telescopic method on implants have the following advantages:
- comfortable denture design;
- economical type of prosthetics in relation to the placement of an implant per tooth;
- reliable material;
- crowns are designed for long-term use.
Multi-units
The multi-unit is the original prosthetic construction. It is used to secure the denture to the implant for all implant placements. Multi-units are used with dentures with 4 or 6 anchor points in the absence of the entire dentition. The main feature of their use is that screw fixation is used for secure fixation of the denture. Cement is not used in the placement of this type of structure. The following conditions are ensured for the abutment with this type of prosthesis:
- optimization of the pressure on the implant;
- long term function;
- easy hygienic procedures;
- aesthetic appearance;
- quick implantation.
Multi-units have a number of advantages that every patient will enjoy.
- The angle of the implant can be adjusted.
- The abutment is placed quickly and easily.
The modeling and fabrication of the prosthesis is done accurately in every technique.
Dentures
An implant-supported partial denture is indicated when there are no anchoring teeth in the row. With this method, the prosthodontist fixes the prosthesis using telescopic crowns.
The advantages of partial dentures are appreciated by many patients at dental clinics. Among them, the following features stand out:
- secure attachment;
- universal product suitable for two jaws;
- dentures are designed to withstand considerable chewing forces;
- comfortable use;
- low cost.
Fixed dentures on implants
Bridge dentures
This technique is used to restore teeth that are not in the row and are adjacent to each other (from 3 pieces). The supporting elements are replaced by implants with abutments placed in the root part of the last teeth that are missing. For bridges, zirconia or metal-ceramic crowns are made. Their advantages are:
- durability;
- attractiveness;
- affordable budget;
- reliability of the crowns;
- no discomfort or discomfort during wear.
Single crowns on implants
An advanced dental orthopedic discovery, the implant, can completely replace the root. It is made from high quality materials that are distinguished by their long-lasting durability. Modern crowns are designed and made after careful study of the patient's jaw structure, so they fully replace a natural tooth. Single-tooth restorations are considered a reliable way to restore missing parts of the jaw line. It looks aesthetically pleasing and prevents destructive changes in the bone tissue, so it lasts a long time.
Implant dentures at Denta-Pro
Denta-Pro Clinic (Dnepr) provides prosthetics of all types. Our orthopedists make prostheses of different complexity thanks to digital innovative equipment.
Now the loss of teeth is not terrible - you do not need a denture. Make an appointment with an orthopedist at Denta-Pro Dental Clinic by leaving an order online or by calling the telephone number given. Implant dentures will bring back your beautiful smile.
At the first consultation, the doctor will tell you in detail about which teeth need to be treated first, about the condition of your gums and about which design you need to choose in order to fill in the missing teeth.
About what actions and manipulations need to be carried out. Learn how to take good care of your mouth so you don't have to go to the dentist as often as possible.
After discussing the above aspects, your dentist will draw up a treatment plan, guide you by the stages, timing, cost of the upcoming treatment, make, if necessary, computer diagnostics of the teeth and make an appointment for you at a convenient time for you to start treatment.
It is worth restoring a lost tooth as early as possible, because delaying such a process can lead to unpleasant health consequences and undesirable costs in the future.
Patients who seek help for tooth loss too late unwittingly start the process of destruction of other adjacent teeth, because the load during chewing is not evenly distributed.
Dental implantation is one of the most reliable and effective procedures that allows you to restore one or more teeth.
The method of dental implantation is now very popular, because it helps patients to restore lost teeth both in the upper and lower jaws without grinding pine teeth, which is always carried out during prosthetics (crowns).
With implantation, the number of lost teeth does not matter. Dental implantation is considered to be the only right way out of care for everyone, because the healing rate of implants today is over 99%!
