Fixed dental prosthesis – Specialist clinic

Fixed dental prostheses are an excellent treatment for replacing missing teeth, combining aesthetics and chewing ability, taking advantage of your original teeth.

Implart Odontologia specializes in aesthetic and conventional fixed dental prostheses.

A fixed prosthesis is a type of dental prosthesis that cannot be removed by the wearer. It differs from dentures, for example, which can be removed whenever the person wants. It is indicated for various types of restorations and rehabilitations, from the replacement of a single tooth to the rehabilitation of a complete arch.

It can, for example, be installed on a tooth or fixed on dental implants. Implart specializes in dental prostheses because it has its own dental prosthesis laboratory with a team specializing in prostheses and 3D printers that sculpt various types of prostheses in ceramic material.

The Cerec and Ceramill Motion 2 printers are some of the most modern tooth printers in the world. In this way, prostheses are made with greater speed and precision, without the need to send molds elsewhere. Some facial aesthetic treatments can be used in conjunction with dental prostheses to achieve even more impressive results: such as Botox, wrinkle fillers and lip fillers.

Types of fixeddentalprosthesis

Single tooth reconstructions

Also known as dental blocks, onlays or inlays, they serve to restore a tooth when the crown is partially compromised, usually by decay. The prosthetic piece covers only the decayed part of the dental crown. It is bonded with dental cement after the site has been cleaned and prepared.

There are different materials used to make fixed partial dentures, the most common being metal alloy – metalloceramics, resin, porcelain and 3D zirconia (considered the most aesthetic material).

Dental crowns – caps, pivots and jackets

A prosthesis that replaces the dental crown when it has completely decayed. In these cases, the root can still be maintained with root canal treatment or removed and replaced with a dental implant. The prosthetic dental crown is made of resin or porcelain.

When the root can still be maintained, the prosthetic crown is then bonded to the prepared tooth or to an abutment installed inside the treated canal. When an implant is indicated to replace the root, the prosthetic crown is screwed onto the implant.

Fixed Bridges – Fixed Dentures

Multiple crown prosthesis to fill a larger space. It can also be fixed on implants or on previously prepared teeth used as abutments. The indication depends on tooth and root decay.

Dentures for all teeth – full mouth / rehabilitations

It replaces the complete absence of teeth from the arches. For a long time, dentures were the only way to make up for this absence, but there are some known discomforts with this type of prosthesis, such as mobility due to the lack of complete adhesion and possible injuries.

The fixed full denture has come as a solution because it is completely stable in the mouth for the elderly, giving them the security to speak, chew and smile.

Fixed dental prostheses on dental implants can be made of resin (Bränemark protocol), porcelain with a metal internal structure or metal-free zirconia.

After having extensive dental prostheses, the patient can have an even better result with aesthetic harmonization treatments or lip fillings.

It is always important to remember that, once treatment has been completed, you should visit your dentist every 6 months for prophylaxis and to monitor the results of your treatment.
