Implant dentistry offers removable prostheses and non-removable rows of teeth to restore completely toothless jaws.
The advantages of the two solutions compared to traditional adhesive dentures speak for themselves:
- Prostheses on implants provide a secure hold
- The chewing forces are transmitted to the bone. This may help prevent bone atrophy and ensure long-term fit
- Can eliminate painful pressure points
- The palate remains free from adhesives so that sense of taste and eating habits are not impaired.
A very attractive and natural-looking solution for toothless jaws is a row of teeth fixed with screws. This row of artificial teeth is fixed directly to implants and usually ends seamlessly at the gums.
