A single-tooth implant prosthesis is a replacement tooth that is anchored to a small metal post called an implant. The implant is placed into the jawbone to mimic a natural tooth root, and the replacement tooth is attached to the implant. The implant and replacement tooth look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. This type of prosthesis is used to replace one missing tooth and it helps to maintain the natural tooth structure, the jaw bone, and surrounding teeth. It also helps to improve chewing ability and smile appearance.
An All-on-4 implant prosthesis is a type of full-arch dental prosthesis that is supported by only four dental implants. This type of implant prosthesis is designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, whether it be the upper or lower jaw. The four implants are strategically placed to provide maximum stability and support for the replacement teeth. This method allows for a full arch of replacement teeth to be anchored in the jaw without the need for as many individual implant placements as traditional implant methods. This can be a good option for people who have lost most or all of their natural teeth and have enough jaw bone to support the four implants, it is also a good option for patients with a limited budget who want a fixed prosthesis instead of removable dentures.
An All-on-6 implant prosthesis is similar to an All-on-4 implant prosthesis. It is a type of full-arch dental prosthesis that is supported by six dental implants. This type of implant prosthesis is designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, whether it be the upper or lower jaw. The six implants are strategically placed to provide maximum stability and support for the replacement teeth. This method allows for a full arch of replacement teeth to be anchored in the jaw without the need for as many individual implant placements as traditional implant methods. This can be a good option for people who have lost most or all of their natural teeth and have enough jaw bone to support the six implants, and it could also be a good option if the patient has a higher bite force or if the patient has a limited amount of bone and needs extra stability.
