Fixed Dentures: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Fixed dentures are artificial teeth that are permanently secured in your mouth using dental implants or supported by adjacent teeth. Unlike removable dentures, they do not need to be taken out and remain firmly in place at all times.
They are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, providing a more comfortable and reliable solution.
You may be a suitable candidate for fixed dentures if you have:
- Multiple missing teeth
- Difficulty chewing food properly
- Loose or ill-fitting removable dentures
- Bone loss due to missing teeth
- Desire for a permanent and stable solution
1. Implant-Supported Dentures
These are attached to dental implants placed in the jawbone, offering maximum stability and durability.
2. Fixed Dental Bridges
These are supported by adjacent natural teeth and used to replace one or more missing teeth.
1. Consultation and Evaluation
Your dentist examines your oral health, bone density, and suitability for treatment.
2. Treatment Planning
A customized plan is created based on your needs and condition.
3. Implant Placement (if required)
Titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial roots.
4. Healing Period
The implants integrate with the bone (osseointegration), ensuring a strong foundation.
- Permanent Solution – No need to remove daily
- Improved Stability – No slipping or movement
- Natural Appearance – Looks like real teeth
- Better Chewing Ability – Eat comfortably
- Bone Preservation – Prevents jawbone loss (with implants)
