Implant Prosthetics

Implant prosthetics (sometimes also called "superstructure") means implant-supported dental restorations, i.e. crowns and bridges in previously toothless jaw parts. Implants ("artificial tooth roots") are placed here first.

These can be fixed (with a screwed implant):

• Single crown on implant

• Several fixed crowns on several implants

• Bridges on implants

Accuracy of fit: Marginal gap between bridge
and  implants only some µm (1/1000 mm)

or removable

Prosthesis on a bar on which implants are screwed:

• lower jaw full denture on strongly shrunk (atrophied) lower jaw bone
• upper jaw full denture (mostly palate free) on atrophied upper jaw (especially with preserved lower jaw opposing dentition)  Analogous to the lower jaw treatment
