Fixed Overdentures

Fixed implant-supported prosthesis provides stability

Several options are available to stabilize dentures using dental implants. The most stable is a fixed implant-supported prosthesis using several implants. Not only do the implants stabilize dentures but they also stimulate the jaw, reducing the effects of bone loss. 



Just as other procedures, implants are placed in the bone below the gum tissue. Once the implants have healed, a custom bridge will be fitted to your jaw. The bridge is created with access holes that allow it to be attached directly to the implants. The screw holes are then covered after insertion.

The implants are placed in the bone below the gum tissue. You will be fitted for a custom bridge that screws directly into the implants. The custom bridge is firmly supported by the implants. 

The new teeth are now firmly suppored by the implants, stimulating the jaw and reducing bone loss. Your dentist will be able to remove the bridge when necessary for cleaning and maintenance.
