Why Replace Dentures with Fixed Bridges on Implants?
Dentures have long been a solution for lost teeth, but they come with limitations, including discomfort, inconvenience, and the potential for decreased bone health over time. Fixed dental bridges on implants provide a revolutionary alternative, offering benefits such as:
Enhanced Comfort and Functionality
Unlike removable dentures, fixed bridges are anchored securely to implants, offering a comfortable fit and natural tooth-like functionality.
Improved Oral Health
Implants stimulate bone growth, preventing the bone loss commonly associated with dentures.
Durability
Implants and fixed bridges are designed for longevity, potentially lasting a lifetime with proper care.
Aesthetic Appeal
Our custom-designed bridges provide a natural appearance, enhancing your smile and boosting confidence.
Transitioning to Fixed Bridges: A Step-by-Step Overview
Our clinic specializes in converting removable full dentures into fixed bridges using a strategic approach with 5 implants on the top jaw and 4 implants on the bottom. Here’s a simplified look at our protocol:
Consultation and Digital Treatment Planning
We begin with a comprehensive consultation, including digital imaging using CT scans and digital 3-D scans of your mouth and existing dentures, to plan your treatment. This approach ensures precise implant placement and minimal discomfort.
Preparation of the Jaw
If necessary, preparatory procedures such as bone grafting are performed to ensure your jaw can securely hold the implants.
Implant Placement
Under local anesthesia, titanium implants are surgically placed in the jaw. Our team’s expertise ensures this process is as comfortable as possible.
Healing and Integration
A period of healing allows the implants to integrate with the bone, a process known as osseointegration. This may take several months, during which temporary bridges may be provided.
Attaching the Fixed Bridge
Once healing is complete, the custom-made fixed bridge is securely attached to the implants, restoring full functionality and aesthetics.
Follow-Up Care
We provide detailed guidance on caring for your new bridge and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress.
Ensuring Success After Treatment
The success of your fixed dental bridge relies on a combination of professional care and personal oral hygiene. We recommend regular dental check-ups, adherence to cleaning protocols for your bridge, and a healthy lifestyle to ensure the longevity of your implant-supported bridge.
