A dental prosthesis, on the other hand, refers to the replacement of one or more teeth \u2013 with the aim of improving aesthetics and oral health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this field, we have dental implants. Made of metallic materials \u2013 screws \u2013 they are surgically placed into the upper or lower jawbones, acting as an anchor for teeth, thereby completing your denture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Implants are undoubtedly a good long-term option as an enhancement to your oral health and aesthetics, as they are made of titanium and other body-compatible materials.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is an implant-supported prosthesis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Crowns, bridges, and full implant-retained dentures \u2013 also known as implant-supported prostheses \u2013 are all screwed into the upper or lower jaw, depending on the case. To have them fitted, you must first undergo surgical implant placement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is, without a doubt, a complex treatment that requires detailed studies. However, done correctly, it will have a magnificent result in restoring your teeth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The treatment allows for partial or complete replacement of your teeth, depending on your specific case and needs. It obviously has the advantage that the artificial teeth look so natural that no one will notice the difference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When undergoing this treatment, it is imperative to follow your recommendations. <a href=\"https:\/\/drpedrocoelho.com\/en\/the-worst-enemy-of-your-teeth-the-bad-dentist\/\">dentist<\/a>. Also, do not neglect your concerns regarding this procedure and discuss them openly. It is necessary to feel secure and confident to have your dentures recovered in this way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you know, there are two types of implant-supported prostheses: fixed screw-retained \u2013 or cemented to the implants \u2013 prostheses and removable ones (overdentures), which can be removed for greater hygiene.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1339 size-full\" title=\"What is an implant-supported prosthesis?\" src=\"https:\/\/drpedrocoelho.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/FotoN2-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"What is an implant-supported prosthesis?\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Implant-supported prosthesis placement procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Good treatment always requires planning. Through X-rays or any other examination indicated by your dentist, there must be a concern to know if you have excellent oral health, if your jaw has sufficient measurements and quality for the treatment to meet expectations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After reviewing the examinations and moving to the next stage, wax records will be made so that the relationship of the occlusion \u2013 between the upper and lower arches \u2013 can be known, in addition to impressions and measurements of your mouth; this can also be done digitally. In this phase, you will also choose the colour of the dental appliance with your dentist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next \u2013 and after the surgery has been scheduled \u2013 the necessary implants will then be fitted. But don't worry, you will be given a local anaesthetic so you won't feel any pain at the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the surgery \u2013 and your recovery from it \u2013 you will return to the practice for your dentist to check how you are. Here, they will also check for any necessary adjustments to your prosthesis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After your dentist has verified that the ceramic of the prosthesis simulates your natural teeth, has the correct occlusion, and the aesthetics are ideal, it is adjusted to the implants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After all checks and adjustments, the (fixed) prosthesis is finally cemented or screwed onto the dental implant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even though this issue of implants may concern you, rest assured. The bone and the implant become one through a process of osseointegration, as the implants are naturally absorbed by the body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Benefits of implant-supported prostheses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Assuming this treatment is recommended for you by your dentist you\u2019ll see how advantageous it is for you. The simple fact of knowing that nothing will come loose or cause damage when eating provides you with greater security and confidence, both when eating and in your day-to-day life. Just look:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unlike dentures \u2013 which can cause redness and gaps in the gums \u2013 implant-supported dentures integrate properly with your body without causing damage, not to mention that they allow you to recover the function of chewing naturally, restoring your normality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another benefit of placing implants is that they help maintain facial bone. Bone loss associated with premature ageing will not occur, and this will allow you to maintain your facial aesthetics, with all the improvements you will certainly feel. Fixed dentures are more durable than removable ones, so over the years, you will maintain not only your teeth but also your aesthetics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another major reason is, without a doubt, the improvement of occlusion and phonetics, functional aspects of utmost importance in your day-to-day life and, above all, it boosts your self-esteem and confidence because, now, you won't be afraid to smile and show your teeth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If, by not forgetting to avoid tobacco, attending regular maintenance appointments, maintaining good oral hygiene consistently, and following your dentist\u2019s recommendations, you will find that you achieve great results with very simple upkeep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Given the large number of advantages it presents, this is one of the most sought-after treatments by patients when it comes to recovering oral functions. Implant-supported prostheses are also one of the most complete oral rehabilitation systems.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quando falamos em medicina dent\u00e1ria, sabemos que h\u00e1 muito mais solu\u00e7\u00f5es que v\u00e3o para al\u00e9m dos diversos problemas orais de c\u00e1ries, ortodontia, periodontologia, endodontia, entre outros.
