Tooth loss is a common issue that significantly affects both a person's smile and their daily quality of life. Perhaps you are tired of your conventional denture (plate) slipping or the difficulties you experience when eating.
As Pys Dent, serving in Kayseri, we offer the definitive solution brought by modern dentistry: Implant-Supported Prostheses. This method truly transforms lives by providing a stable and very natural-looking solution for missing teeth! 🌟
In this comprehensive article, we will examine what implant-supported prostheses are, how they differ from traditional methods, and how the treatment process works at Pys Dent Kayseri.
An implant-supported prosthesis is an artificial set of teeth that is either fixed or removably attached to dental implants, which serve as artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone.
What makes these prostheses different? Unlike dentures that simply rest on the gums, these are strongly anchored to the jawbone via implants. This allows you to chew and speak with confidence, just like you would with your natural teeth. 🍎🎤 At the Pys Dent clinic, we create customized solutions for your smile and needs.
Individuals who have lost all their teeth (edentulous).
Situations where conventional treatments struggle to fill large gaps.
Those who are bothered by their old denture slipping or causing discomfort.
The main advantages of the implant-supported prostheses we offer at Pys Dent significantly elevate your quality of life in Kayseri:
| Feature | Implant-Supported Prosthesis | Conventional Denture (Plate) |
| Stability | Excellent. Locked into the jawbone with implants, no slipping during eating/talking. 🔒 | Low. Can move during chewing. |
| Bone Health | Protects the Bone. Stimulates the bone, slowing down resorption. 🦴 | Causes Bone Loss. Pressures the bone, leading to eventual resorption. |
| Chewing Force | Very High. You can confidently eat what you like. 💪 | Low. Hard foods can be challenging. |
| Comfort | High. Smaller, less foreign feeling in the mouth. | Low. Can take up significant space, especially in the upper palate. |
At the Pys Dent Kayseri clinic, we meticulously apply two main types of prostheses tailored to your bone structure and expectations:
These prostheses are permanently fixed to the implants with special connections. They offer the most natural feel and comfort.
All-on-4 / All-on-6: A technique for complete tooth loss where the entire arch of teeth is fixed onto only 4 or 6 implants. This method, applied at Pys Dent, provides a strong and lasting solution.
| Pros (+) | Considerations (-) |
| Natural Feel: Feels like your own teeth, offering maximum comfort. | Cost: May have a higher initial cost compared to removable prostheses. |
| Easy Cleaning: No need to remove; cleaning is similar to brushing natural teeth. | Maintenance: Cleaning under the bridge may require special tools (floss, water flosser). |
| Stability: Zero risk of slipping, provides high chewing power. | Healing Time: A waiting period (3-6 months) for implants to fuse with the bone may be necessary (Immediate loading is sometimes possible). |
These prostheses attach with special connectors (such as "clip-ons" or bars) on the implants, providing much stronger retention. They must be removed for daily cleaning.
Pro: Retention is significantly higher than conventional dentures, providing stability with fewer implants.
| Pros (+) | Considerations (-) |
| Cost-Effective: Often requires fewer implants than fixed prostheses, making it more budget-friendly. | Convenience: Must be removed and reinserted for morning and evening cleaning. |
| Simple Cleaning: Easy to clean and maintain since they are removable. | Feel: It may still be perceived as a removable appliance in the mouth compared to fixed options. |
| Retention: The clip-on system completely eliminates the slipping issue of conventional plates. | Periodic Maintenance: The retention components (clips or rubbers) may need periodic replacement due to wear. |
