TAILOR-MADE PLANNING

How is rehabilitation with a fixed prosthesis planned?

Each treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s oral health, dental structure and functional and aesthetic needs. The aim is to devise a safe, balanced solution tailored to each individual case.

01

Clinical assessment

We examine the teeth, gums, bite, existing implants and general oral health.

02

Diagnosis and planning

Based on the diagnosis and the necessary tests, the type of rehabilitation, the materials required and the stages of treatment are determined.

03

Preparation and treatment

Depending on the case, treatment may involve preparing natural teeth, fitting implants or a combination of different solutions.

04

Fitting of a fixed prosthesis

The final restoration is adjusted to ensure stability, comfort, masticatory function and aesthetic integration with the smile.

05

Follow-up

Following the fitting, follow-up appointments are arranged and advice on hygiene and maintenance is provided to ensure the results are maintained.

Q
WHEN TO CONSIDER

In what situations might a fixed denture be recommended?

Fixed dentures may be recommended in cases of tooth loss, weakened teeth or where there is a need to restore both the function and aesthetics of the smile in an integrated manner. The appropriate solution always depends on an individual clinical assessment.

01

Severely damaged or weakened teeth

When a tooth has lost its strength or structure, a crown can help to protect it and restore its shape, function and appearance.

02

Missing one or more teeth

Fixed bridges or implant-supported solutions can replace missing teeth, restoring stability to chewing and the integrity of your smile.

03

Extensive tooth loss

In cases where several teeth or an entire arch are missing, it may be necessary to carry out a more comprehensive fixed restoration using natural teeth, implants or a combination of these solutions.

04

Old, uncomfortable or unstable dentures

Patients who use traditional or removable dentures may wish to seek an assessment to find out about fixed alternatives offering greater stability and comfort.

05

Functional and aesthetic restoration of the smile

Fixed dentures can also form part of a wider plan to improve chewing, dental alignment and confidence when smiling.

C
FIXED SOLUTIONS ON IMPLANTS

Immediate loading, All-on-4®
and All-on-X

In cases of extensive tooth loss or complete edentulism, fixed implant-supported restorations may be considered. The suitability of this treatment always depends on the condition of the bone, oral and general health, the stability of the implants, and a detailed clinical assessment.

BOOK APPOINTMENT

Instant top-up

Immediate loading makes it possible, in clinically suitable cases, to fit a temporary fixed prosthesis on the same day or shortly after the implants have been placed.

With this technique, it may be possible to replace a single tooth, several teeth or even all the teeth in each jaw immediately.

All-on-4® and All-on-X

The All-on-4 concept enables a full fixed denture to be supported by four strategically positioned implants, where this solution is appropriate for the clinical case.

Whenever clinical conditions allow, five, six or seven implants may be used to ensure greater safety and stability. This approach is also known as All-on-X, as the number of implants is determined on a case-by-case basis.

Featured clinical note

Whether immediate loading or an All-on-4® restoration is possible can only be confirmed following a diagnosis, examinations and a personalised treatment plan.

B
FUNCTION, COMFORT AND AESTHETICS

What are the main benefits of a fixed denture?

When correctly prescribed and planned, a fixed denture can help restore chewing function, improve dental stability and give the smile a more natural appearance.

01.

Greater stability

As it is fixed to natural teeth or implants, it offers greater security whilst chewing, speaking and carrying out everyday activities.

02.

Restoration of masticatory function

Replacing missing teeth can help to distribute the forces of the bite more evenly and restore a more comfortable and efficient chewing function.

03.

Integrated aesthetic result

Crowns, bridges and fixed restorations are designed to respect the shape, proportion and natural harmony of the smile.

04.

Greater confidence in everyday life

A fixed solution can offer greater peace of mind when speaking, smiling and eating, without the instability associated with removable solutions.

05.

Bespoke solution

The number of teeth to be replaced, the type of abutment, the materials and the design of the prosthesis are determined in accordance with each patient’s clinical condition and objectives.

06.

Durability with proper maintenance

The longevity of the treatment depends on oral hygiene, follow-up appointments, the patient’s habits and the proper care of the prosthesis and the supporting tissues.
