What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. Over time, it fuses with the bone to provide a stable and durable foundation for prosthetic teeth.
What Are Implant-Supported Prostheses?
🦷 Implant-Supported Prostheses
Implant-supported prostheses are artificial teeth placed over dental implants. These restorations replace missing teeth by attaching securely to the implant base, offering enhanced stability and a natural appearance. They come in two main types:
1. Fixed Implant-Supported Prostheses
- Permanently attached and cannot be removed by the patient
- Ideal for those seeking the highest level of comfort and aesthetics
- Suitable for replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch
2. Removable Implant-Supported Prostheses
- Can be removed and reinserted by the patient
- Often preferred in cases of multiple missing teeth
- Provide a cost-effective and practical solution
