Prettau – Dental Implant Bridge

If you have suffered long enough with loose dentures or full dentures are recommended for treatment after removing the remaining teeth a fixed full arch bridge might be the best option for you.

The Prettau implant fixed bridge is fully made out of solid Zirconia porcelain with absolutely no plastic. The procedure consists of placing 5-8 implants per arch in a single visit after removing any remaining teeth. A temporary removable or fixed bridge is fitted at the same visit. After a period of healing, fabricating the final Prettau fixed bridge starts, which involves few appointments to accurately take impressions and try in the bridge for esthetics and fit. Every bridge is custom designed for every patient to match the color of the gums and to create the shape and color of the teeth desired.

Planning for the Prettau fixed implant bridge involves C.T. Scans to precisely plan the implants positions. Dr. Seleem uses a dental lab that specializes in fabricating the Preattau implant bridge that in turn uses the highest level of computer guided technology to fabricate the final fixed implant bridge.

FAQs

What is a Prettau Dental Implant Bridge made of?

The Prettau bridge is crafted entirely from solid Zirconia. Unlike some other dental prosthetics, it does not contain any plastic or acrylic components, providing a durable and aesthetic finish.

How is a fixed bridge different from traditional dentures?

While traditional dentures are typically removable and sit on the gums, a fixed bridge is securely attached to dental implants. This design is intended to prevent the bridge from slipping or moving while eating or speaking.

Is the bridge customized for each person?

Yes. Every bridge is custom-designed to fit the unique anatomy of the individual. This includes shaping and coloring the teeth and the "gum" portion of the bridge to ensure a natural appearance that matches the patient's preferences.

What technology is used to plan the procedure?

Modern dental technology, such as C.T. scans and computer-guided systems, is used to precisely plan the placement of the implants. This high level of digital integration helps in creating a bridge that fits accurately.

How many implants are typically needed for this type of bridge?

The number of implants can vary depending on individual needs and bone structure, but a full arch bridge generally utilizes between 5 and 8 dental implants to provide a stable foundation for the Zirconia bridge.
