How To repair of implant-supported prosthesis

If you are missing only one or a few teeth, then a dental bridge may be an appropriate solution for you. A dental bridge restores your smile by replacing the missing teeth with an artificial tooth or teeth. To place a dental bridge, the dentist will first prepare the supporting teeth. This involves reshaping the teeth to make room for the dental bridge. Then, the dentist will take an impression of your teeth. Your dentist will use this impression to create a mold for the dental bridges.

What is an implant-supported prosthesis?

An implant-supported prosthesis is a dental device or appliance that is supported by or attached to implants. This can refer to both fixed and removable devices, as well as restorations.

Fixed appliances typically refer to either dental crowns, bridges, or full dentures. These “permanent” devices are cemented to the implants using a permanent adhesive such as resin cement. Removable appliances usually refer to partial or complete denture prosthetics. These are secured to the implants by clips or attachments, but can be removed for cleaning and maintenance.

Both types of restorations are custom-made in dental office to match the patient’s unique mouth shape. The dentist will take impressions of the teeth so that the restoration will fit comfortably for the patient and provide proper bite alignment. After the restoration is created, it will be attached to the dental implants during a surgery procedure. In some cases, the dentist will attach a healing cap onto the dental implant. This will allow the patient to have immediate use of the device without having to wait for tissue to heal completely. Once the dentist has confirmed that the healing cap is secure, they will then attach the permanent prosthetic.

Implant-supported prostheses offer many benefits for patients with missing teeth or ill-fitting dental devices. In addition to restoring chewing function in many cases, these devices can also prevent shifting of adjacent teeth due to bone loss in the jaw. If left untreated, tooth loss can lead to the deterioration of the jawline and face, causing premature aging of the patient’s appearance. By restoring the function of the teeth and jawbone with implant-supported devices, patients can prevent further cosmetic issues from occurring. Talk to your dentist about what options are available to you if you’re missing multiple teeth.

How to fix a prosthesis that breaks or is lost

If your implant-supported prosthesis falls out, visit your dental team as soon as possible for a replacement. If you’ve lost only one tooth, your dentist may be able to adjust a temporary crown in place until you’re able to come in for your permanent replacement. After multiple teeth have been lost, however, you may need to have a custom abutment and temporary denture made before your permanent restoration can be made.

In some cases, the implant itself may have become loose or dislodged from the bone. If this is the case, your doctor will need to remove the broken implant and place a new one in its place. He or she will likely schedule you for a follow-up visit at a later date to receive a new prosthetic.

In the meantime, avoid biting hard foods on the affected side and don’t chew on non-food items. To avoid irritation of the gum tissue, try using an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on the packaging.

If you wear a removable partial denture, return it to your mouth as soon as you can to avoid the possibility of swallowing it. Thoroughly rinse it with water after use and store it in water or a cleaning solution when not in use. You may experience some soreness around the your gums and mouth during this time, but it should diminish within a few days.

What is an abutment?

The abutment is a connection between your dental implant and your final restoration. It’s designed to fit precisely into your gum line for a seamless, natural looking smile. It’s also what allows you to clean around and underneath your restoration without harming it. Abutments are custom-made from strong, durable material like titanium or zirconia. Over time, they’ll fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. By choosing metal-free materials for your bridge or crown, you’ll help ensure the least amount of irritation to your gums and surrounding tissues. Your dentist may also suggest a crown instead of a dental implant if you need to replace a single missing tooth. Teeth that are next to the empty space will need to be reshaped to make sure they fit properly with the replacement tooth. With a crown, your dentist will reshape the entire tooth instead of only half of it. This may be a better option for you if you’re worried about treatment costs or don’t want to undergo multiple procedures to restore your smile. Although dental implants are an incredibly durable and long-lasting option for tooth replacement, it’s important to care for them properly to ensure they last for a lifetime. Poor oral hygiene can lead to the buildup of bacteria on the restorations that can cause infection in the gums. Avoid this by brushing twice a day for at least two minutes at a time using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste. Flossing at least once per day will also help get rid of any debris that’s built up between your teeth that your brush can’t reach. Finally, make sure to see your dentist at least twice a year for regular check-ups and cleanings. These visits will allow him to check for signs of damage or decay that need to be addressed before they become severe and require costly repairs. Wearing a night guard can also help protect your oral health while you sleep by preventing you from grinding or clenching your teeth in your sleep.
