Implant-Supported Prostheses

“Your New Teeth That Don’t Move, Don’t Slip, and Let You Chew with Full Strength.”

Leave behind the discomfort, looseness, and loss of taste caused by traditional dentures. At Dentorjin Dental Clinic, in our Istanbul and Tirana branches, we combine the power of implant technology with aesthetic prosthetics. Whether replacing a single tooth or a full arch, implant-supported prostheses provide permanent solutions that feel just like chewing with your natural teeth.

Types of Implant-Supported Prostheses

Depending on the clinical situation and the patient’s comfort expectations, we apply two main treatment approaches in our clinics:

1. Fixed Implant-Supported Prostheses (Crowns and Bridges)

These are prostheses that cannot be removed by the patient and are either screwed or cemented directly onto implants.

  • Single-Tooth Implant Crown: Replaces a missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth.
  • Hybrid Prostheses: Used in full edentulism cases with All-on-4 or All-on-6 techniques, providing fixed solutions without covering the palate.
  • Advantage: Functions like your natural teeth and requires no additional care beyond regular brushing.

2. Removable Implant-Supported Prostheses (Overdentures – Snap Systems)

Typically used when bone volume does not allow for fixed prostheses, these systems are attached to 2 or 4 implants using locator or ball attachment mechanisms.

  • Advantage: Since the denture locks onto the implants, it does not move or slip while eating or speaking. It can be removed by the patient for easy cleaning.

Why Choose Implant-Supported Prostheses?

  • Maximum Chewing Power: Force is transmitted directly to the bone, allowing you to eat confidently.
  • Lip and Facial Support: Restores facial volume lost due to missing teeth, providing a younger appearance.
  • Taste Preservation: Designs that do not cover the palate (especially in the upper jaw) allow you to fully enjoy the taste of food.
  • Bone Preservation: Implants prevent jawbone resorption and help maintain facial structure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • How are implant-supported prostheses cleaned? Fixed prostheses are brushed like natural teeth; interdental brushes and oral irrigators are recommended. Removable ones should be removed once daily for cleaning, and the implant areas should be carefully brushed.
  • Will I be without teeth during treatment? No. During the implant integration period (3–6 months), temporary prostheses are provided so you can continue your social life comfortably.
  • Can fixed implant prostheses be applied to every jaw? With advanced surgical techniques and bone grafting procedures, fixed prostheses can be applied in most cases of bone loss. A detailed 3D tomography analysis is required.
