Removable denture or fixed prosthesis - I Need Your New Smile
Over time, due to illness or accident, we suffered the loss of several teeth. Then, disorganization of the whole mouth affects masticatory efficiency, causing problems.The "classic" solution of such problems was typical denture sure someone still knows our parents or grandparents. Is the typical teeth "remove and replace". But, times have changed and with it new technologies have emerged for fixing this set of teeth on dental implants in the patient's jaw.
This type of dental prostheses are instruments or apparatus manufactured in dental laboratories with the mission of supplying these parts and restore masticatory function, in addition to significantly improve the aesthetics.
In the need to replace all the teeth, dentures on implants are used, whether fixed or removable on implants . With current techniques of implantology, the first are fixed to the mouth, bolted to titanium implants as the removable denture it consists of a part that can be removed from the implant to remove the mouth.
As always, each treatment will have their advantages and disadvantages according to each patient. Overall, fixed dentures are more comfortable and they feel almost natural chewing. Logically in implant prosthetics the price is much higher than if we use a traditional teeth, but the difference is dramatic.
What is a removable denture on implant?
In removable prostheses or overdentures, the teeth are mounted on an anchored to the implants so as to allow extraction if the patient wishes structure. There are basically two types of anchors: the bar and the ball. The bar is screwed to the implants and take some restraints to anchor the teeth structure. The balls are some round structures on which artificial teeth are attached. In many cases, dentists use the term "locator" for these balls. As a convenience, better hygiene and better aesthetic effect when there is bone missing, but there are disadvantages when, at times, can be made less force it, because it has a supporting part in the mucosa.What is fixed implant teeth?
In fixed dentures on dental implants are two groups. A leading porcelain teeth and the other leading resin teeth. As your dentist offers you a fixed denture anchored on several implants it refers to nothing but this type of prosthesis remain anchored (set) with small screws into the implants. The implants are positioned at "strategic" points in your jaw to ensure the best possible stability.The price for a removable denture on implants usually smaller, requiring less labor time for dentists, the fixed implant prostheses where the price is higher.
The price of fixed teeth on implants will increase the need for implants
For installation, the more implants are placed, the greater the sense of stability. There are two widely used techniques, called "All on 4" (all about 4) and "All on 6" (mainly 6), as the number of implants that drilled the bone. In many cases the lower jaw four implants are usually sufficient, while the upper jaw apply another technique, installing an "All on 6". Whether it is removable denture prosthesis as fixed the price is reduced, because also decrease the number of implants placed.Advances in oral surgery allow to apply information technology to place implants. First, a panoramic radiograph is made or if necessary "TAC" (computerized axial tomography) for a 3-D image of the jaw, reproducing the peculiarities of the patient, to plan the implants and design prosthetics. If the patient does not have enough bone maxillary sinus elevation is performed by placing a bone graft in the jaw, which allows expand, although the increase in the final price to pay for fixed or removable dentures.
How long will I be treated?
Since it is a treatment that requires several interventions often lengthen the process for a few months. If the patient still has some damaged teeth will first remove them. Many clinics inserted in this session of surgery, titanium screws, anchored to the bone. In the following views healing state are controlled. To place the final prosthesis, it is reached four months in the maxilla and in many cases three on the bottom. During this time, the patient will wear a temporary prosthesis.The teeth on implants, the price will vary greatly depending on the chosen material
The costing is very variable, as in the teeth fixed the price varies depending on the material used or the technique applied. To be based on implants, usually titanium, should be calculated around 500 euros per insert. Then, in the case of removable denture price per arch ostensibly also varies, from cheap prosthesis resin to the more expensive zirconium porcelain.To the point, how much does a tooth implant?
In our database that collects all data from 2012 applications can publish these approximate prices:- The average market price for a denture resin (hybrid) on 4 implants is approximately € 5800 - € 7,500 (each arch)
- For a resin system "All on 6" you have to count approx. with € 8200 - 9000 € (each arch)
- The normal price for a metal ceramic denture on six implants is about 8500 € -9800 €.
