The edentulous jaw with four to six implants

For most patients, restoring an edentulous jaw with a classic mucosa-borne denture brings serious drawbacks and a reduced quality of life.

Where all teeth have been lost, implants make a fixed restoration possible. In terms of comfort and quality of life, an implant-anchored restoration is the treatment of first choice. The most demanding solution in aesthetic terms for a completely edentulous jaw is the permanently screw-retained arch of teeth. It is fixed on the implants and as a rule meets the gum harmoniously.

Depending on the bone available and the planned prosthetic solution, the arch is screwed onto four to six implants. These fixed prosthetics are firmly anchored on the implants and can only be removed by a dentist. A screw-retained implant-supported restoration requires sufficient bone volume. Your dentist will explain in detail which option offers you the greatest benefit and whether bone-grafting measures are necessary.
