Implant prosthesis, also known as implant-supported prosthesis or implant-supported dentures, is a type of dental prosthesis that is supported by dental implants. It is a restorative solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or require full arch replacement.
Implant prosthesis involves the placement of dental implants into the jawbone, which serve as artificial tooth roots. These implants provide a stable foundation for the attachment of a custom-made prosthesis, such as a denture or bridge. The prosthesis is securely anchored to the implants, offering improved stability, functionality, and aesthetics compared to traditional removable dentures.
The process of getting an implant prosthesis typically involves a thorough evaluation of the patient's oral health, including bone density and gum condition. Dental implants are then surgically placed into the jawbone, and a healing period is allowed for the implants to integrate with the surrounding tissues. Once the implants have fully healed, the custom prosthesis is fabricated and attached to the implants.
Implant prosthesis provides several benefits, including enhanced chewing ability, improved speech, and increased comfort compared to traditional dentures. It also helps to preserve the jawbone and prevent bone loss, which can occur when teeth are missing.
It is important to consult with a qualified implant dentist or prosthodontist to determine if implant prosthesis is the right option for you. They will assess your specific needs and provide a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile and oral function.
