What is the difference between a fixed and a removable prosthesis?
The main difference is comfort and stability. A fixed prosthesis is anchored to your teeth or implants and cannot be removed, functioning like your natural teeth. A removable prosthesis (removable) rests on the gums and must be removed for cleaning, and may be less comfortable and stable when eating or speaking.
How long does a fixed dental prosthesis last?
With good care and regular check-ups, a fixed dental prosthesis is designed to last for many years, often more than 15 or 20. If it is supported by implants, the base can last a lifetime. Longevity depends on the patient’s hygiene and the quality of the materials, so at Face Clinic we only use the best.
Can a fixed prosthesis be placed if all my teeth are missing?
Yes, it is the best solution. Using techniques such as All-on-4 or All-on-6, we can place a complete and fixed dental arch on only 4 or 6 implants. This allows you to recover all your teeth in a single day, giving you back the ability to eat and smile normally. Make an appointment at Face Clinic for an evaluation.
