If you have lost a single tooth, the resulting gap can be closed using an implant with an abutment. No healthy neighboring tooth is required for this process nor does it need to be prepared as a support post.

An implant is often the more esthetic solution compared to conventional restoration. In addition modern ceramic materials allow a perfect reproduction of natural teeth.

Smaller and larger gaps (edentulous spaces) can also be closed with implants. The implants then serve as abutment for your fixed restorations. As an alternative to these fixed bridge constructions an implant supported, removable prosthesis can be considered for larger gaps, for example when it is not possible to build-up missing bone in all areas of your jaw. Such a removable reconstruction is much more stable when chewing than a traditional prosthesis.

A so-called free-end situation occurs if you lack several posterior teeth in the same row. Here the implant is the best and only solution for a fixed restoration. Without implants only a removable partial denture with all its disadvantages is possible. Mechanical holding elements, such as clasps must be attached that are esthetically unpleasing and impair the comfort of wearing the denture.

Even if you have lost all your teeth, you do not need to settle for a full denture. Even in this situation our dentists can offer you a solution with dental implants, a fixed or a removable reconstruction in the upper and lower jaw.

Many persons wearing dentures complain about the bad seating of their prosthesis and painful pressure spots. Adhesives or mechanical aids do not solve such problems permanently and satisfactorily. Implants may help to create relief here, depending on your circumstances and desires. Wearing comfort can considerably increase with the number of implants, right up to an implant borne prosthesis.
