Implant-supported prostheses
When it's time to replace a large number of teeth, or even the entire dentition, partial or complete dentures are usually the answer. Although practical and affordable, traditional dentures have certain drawbacks that can be overcome by attaching them to dental implants. The multidisciplinary team at the Centre dentaire Taschereau in Brossard offers you a range of implant-supported denture options!
Implant-supported prostheses: an advantageous choice
Dentures, imitations of gums and teeth made of acrylic resin, can be removable (traditional dentures) or fixed to implants. In the latter case, they are supported by titanium rods inserted into the jawbone. This gives them a number of advantages:
- Bone structure preservation through implant stimulation ;
- Improved masticatory capacity due to greater prosthesis stability;
- A more aesthetic result thanks to a better fit;
- Less risk of irritating rubbing and inelegant snapping.
Options to suit your needs
Partial dentures can be fitted just as easily as full dentures. Partial dentures replace the teeth of a section of the dental arch, while full dentures replace the entire dentition of a jaw. On average, two to four implants are required for partial dentures, and 4 to 10 for full dentures. The quantity varies according to various criteria: the number of teeth to be replaced, their positioning, the jaw to be treated (upper or lower), the physiognomy of the mouth and the type of prosthesis chosen.
Types of implant-supported full dentures offered at the clinic
Fixed prosthesis on implants: this is the option that provides the most natural look and feel. Very thin, with rounded edges, it is supported directly by the implants, so it doesn't touch the gums. Unlike other models, only the dentist can remove it for maintenance.
