Implant-Supported Dentures: Regain Natural Tooth Function with Permanent and Aesthetic Restorations

Implant-supported dentures aim to restore natural tooth function and aesthetics in patients who have experienced tooth loss, through restorations placed on implants. This treatment option can be applied as fixed or removable according to the patient's oral structure, lifestyle and aesthetic expectations. Below, the two main sub-categories are detailed.

Fixed Implant-Supported Denture

A fixed implant-supported denture consists of restorations permanently fixed to the implants. This method allows the dentures, which the patient would otherwise have to wear continuously throughout the day, to offer a stability and comfort similar to natural teeth.

• Features:
• Permanent Fixation: The denture is fixed with special abutment and connector systems on the implants.
• High Stability: In daily life activities, it offers a feeling and biting force close to the natural movement of the teeth.
• Aesthetic and Functional Compatibility: It provides optimal harmony with the natural tooth appearance and chewing function.
• Advantages:
• The denture stays fixed in place, with no risk of mobility.
• Offers comfort and confidence during daily activities.
• Has high aesthetic and functional success rates in the long term.

Removable Implant-Supported Denture

A removable implant-supported denture consists of restorations supported by implants but removable when necessary. This system provides ease of cleaning and care while at the same time offering high comfort and stability.

• Features:
• Removable Design: According to the patient's needs, it is produced in a removable structure suitable for daily use.
• Ease of Hygiene: The denture can be removed for detailed cleaning and care.
• Supported Function: Thanks to the support provided by the implants, comfort and biting force close to natural tooth function are achieved.
• Advantages:
• Offers both the stability of fixed dentures and the hygiene convenience of removable dentures.
• Helps preserve oral health with long-term care and regular check-ups.
• Provides flexible use according to the patient's lifestyle and needs.
