Arverne Dental: Fixed Dentures

Also known as implant-supported Dentures, fixed dentures are dental prostheses designed to replace missing or damaged teeth and restore aesthetics and oral function. They provide stability, comfort, and a natural smile.

Traditional Dentures are held in place by adhesives or clasps, which can lead to discomfort, slippage, or shifting. Fixed dentures are attached to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. This anchorage allows for enhanced stability and eliminates movement. It also allows a more natural chewing and biting function.

The best candidates for fixed dentures are those with multiple missing teeth or need a full arch of replacement teeth. The ideal candidate for dental implants has healthy gums and adequate bone density. Even if you've experienced bone loss, bone grafting techniques can be used to enhance the bone, making you a good candidate for fixed dentures.

This depends on individual factors, such as the number and condition of the implants, the condition of your jawbone, or any preparatory procedures. The process is divided into several stages. These include implant placement, healing, and implant integration with the jawbone. The entire process takes several months on average.

Fixed dentures are comfortable and secure. They eliminate the instability and discomfort that are often associated with removable dentures. Fixed dentures can improve your speech clarity and chewing ability. They also give you more confidence with your smile.

The same as with natural teeth, you can take care of your fixed dentures. Regular brushing and flossing is required to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid plaque accumulation around implants and prostheses. Periodic professional cleanings and exams may be recommended by your dentist to ensure the longevity and health of your fixed dentures.

Fixed Dentures are designed to be permanent, and the patient cannot remove them. The dentures are attached securely to dental implants and offer a reliable and stable solution for replacing teeth. Your dentist can still remove fixed dentures for repairs, maintenance, or replacement if needed.

Fixed Dentures have many benefits, including improved stability, chewing functions, bone structure preservation, and long-term durability. The dentures provide a natural smile, restoring confidence and enhancing the quality of life for those who have lost teeth.

Coverage may vary depending on your dental insurance policy and plan. Some dental insurance plans cover only a portion of the fixed dentures cost, while other policies may cover specific treatment components, like dental implants and prosthetic devices. Check with your insurance company to determine your coverage options, as well as any costs you might incur.

Fixed dentures are usually performed under local anesthesia for your comfort. You may feel some swelling or discomfort after the placement of a dental implant, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medications and will resolve within a few weeks. Your dentist will give you detailed instructions on how to care for yourself after surgery. This will help reduce any discomfort and promote healing.
