Implant dentistry offers removable prostheses and non-removable rows of teeth to restore completely toothless jaws.
The advantages of the two solutions compared to classical adhesive dentures speak for themselves:
- Prostheses on implants offer secure hold in any situation.
- The chewing forces are transmitted to the bone. This prevents bone atrophy and thus ensures optimal prosthesis fit in the long term.
- With implant-anchored prostheses, there are no painful pressure points.
- The palate remains free from prosthesis material. The sense of taste and thus enjoyment of eating are not impaired.
The most attractive-looking solution for toothless jaws is a row of teeth fixed with screws. It is fixed directly to the implants and usually ends harmoniously at the gums.
