Dental Implants Is The Best Solution ?

Dental implants are not just used to fill in gaps.The tiny titanium screws are a medical miracle. When the smile suddenly looks old, several teeth are missing or older dentures are causing more and more problems,you can turn back the clock and your teeth can look new again.

Single-tooth implants are a particularly elegant solution. Regardless of whether one or more teeth are missing in a row:
Every tooth is individually replaced and the situation is restored to its original condition. If three or more teeth in a row are missing, you can decide to have an implant-borne bridge. In this solution the new crowns are linked together and depending on the
size of the gap  are placed on a stable and secure base of two or more implants After precise planning the new tooth roots are generally placed in the jaw in one single treatment session. A temporary denture closes the gaps during the healing phase. After healing the fi nal crowns or the bridge are permanently fi xed to the implantsOne possible alternative to the implant solution is the conventional bridge. However, the natural teeth to the left and right of the gap must be used to retain the bridge. They are ground and carry the crowns to which the bridge component is fi xed. This is a pity if the teeth are perfectly healthy. The grinding process means that they lose their protective enamel coat and are more heavily loaded. This reduces their life expectancy in many cases.


If the gap is open to the end of the row — referred to as a free-end situation — the dentist may also offer a partial denture as an alternative. The same is applicable if the gap is too large to close for lasting stability with a conventional bridge. A simple  partial denture is attached to the existing teeth with metal clasps. Metal clasps and prosthetic plastic are also supported on
the gums or the jaw, but the metal clasps may damage the retaining teeth over time. High-quality partial dentures can also be attached to the natural teeth with rods or attachments. This means that the teeth must be ground and fi tted with crowns, like a toothsupported bridge.All the above is unnecessary with implants. The small titanium screws are artifi cial tooth roots that invisibly and securely support your new crowns. It is not necessary to grind healthy teeth and cover them with crowns
and you will also not have to worry about clasps. Your implant-borne teeth will be indistinguishable from your natural teeth: They look exactly the same, they feel exactly the same. It is as if nothing had ever happened there Ask your dentist about the options.



Do you have no teeth at all in your upper or lower jaw? You will still be able to laugh with dental implants. As few as two to four new roots will be enough to provide a fi rm base for a full denture. A bridge can be fi xed to six implants. This will give you a  igh degree of security in every situation because nothing can come loose unexpectedly. No more embarrassing surprises. Your full denture is attached to the implants with special retainer systems, which consist of two components. One component is permanently attached to the implant, its counterpart is part of the denture.
The components click together just like pressing a button. Your enture is firmly attached. For cleaning the denture can be easily removed and just as easily replaced after cleaning. If you wish, your denture can also be permanently attached to the implants. A bridge can be After precise planning the new tooth roots are generally placed in the jaw in one single treatment session. During the healing process they become fully integrated into the bone and become an integral component of the jaw.

This means that after a relatively short time the retaining elements for the full denture or the new bridge can be fixed in place. It is often possible to fix the denture to the new roots at the same time implants are placed in the jaw. You come to the pointment in the practice or hospital and leave a few hours later with firmly fixed, beautiful teeth.
