Advantages of prosthetics on implants

Dental restoration using implants has a number of advantages, due to which this service is in high demand among patients:

Options for prosthetics on implants

Unlike classical prosthetics, when dentures are installed on healthy teeth, prosthetics on implants involve installation on special pins. Modern dentistry offers the following types of prostheses on implants:

  • Crowns - A single crown is placed when one tooth is missing. For prosthetics of the teeth of the chewing group, prostheses made of zirconium, metal-ceramic are most often used. Outwardly, they do not differ from their own teeth, for a long time retain their color and shine.
  • Bridges - allow you to restore from 3 to 5 lost teeth. The installation of the structure does not require turning the teeth, they are distinguished by simple maintenance and a long service life. Bridges are made of metal-plastic, cermet and zirconium.
  • Full dentures - suitable for installation in the complete absence of teeth in the jaw. With the help of pins, it is possible to achieve perfect fixation of prostheses, which ensures comfort and convenience for the patient. Depending on the design, prostheses can be made of acrylic, nylon, zirconium dioxide.

There are several ways to install prostheses on implants. They depend on the type of prosthetics, the type of fastening, the material from which the prostheses are made. The specialist selects the best option, taking into account the age of the patient, his state of health, personal preferences.

Sometimes mini-implants are used as temporary structures or to support a removable prosthesis. In contrast to the classical model, they are smaller in size, non-traumatic installation, fast fusion of the pin with bone tissue.
