Toothlessness

Restoring all the teeth in one of the jaw bones is possible in two ways. One can opt for the denture or decide for the implantation procedure. The denture does its task well in many cases, but with time the jaw bone deteriorates. In effect, the denture does not adjust properly and it starts to impede.

Today many patients will not decide for the denture most of all for the psychological and social reasons. This group grows bigger every day. They value more and more the feeling of regaining their own teeth, which gives their lives a completely new quality!

In our clinic we offer at least a few possibilities of dental defects’supplementation in case of toothlessness with the use of implants. Below we present some of them:

I. Removable prosthesis placed on several implants:

In case of a toothless upper or lower jaw it is exceptionally important to keep complete denture in the right position. Standard prosthetic solutions do not provide satisfactory stabilization.

These difficulties can be overcome by the use of prosthetic supplementation which is placed on several implants. This type of a denture (so called overdenture) is joined with the implants by fasteners or bars. Implementing 2 to 4 implants enhances the comfort of the use of the denture significantly.

II. Fixed dentures placed on several implants:

The best stabilization of dentures can be obtained by fixing them on implants permanently. It is usually 6 implants in the lower- and 8 in the upper jaw.

Functionality and the aesthetics of such dentures give the patient an almost perfect feeling of regaining their own teeth. No other prosthetic solution meets both criteria in such high a degree.

We offer as well:

Zygoma Branemark –a solution implemented in case of bone defficiency in the side part of the upper jaw.

Branemark Novum (a bridge supported on 3 implants) –used in case of a toothless lower jaw.

... and many other possibilities of dental supplementation with implants.
