The difference between dental implants

There are many types of dental implants and they differ from each other in many aspects. Some are removable and can be removed from the mouth by the patient’s hand, and some are fixed and are installed once to remain in place. In this article, we will talk about the different types of these implants, which we provide through the Smile Art Center with high quality.

What are the types of dental implants?

When talking about the different types of these fixtures in general, we find that there are two main types, which are mobile fixtures and fixed fixtures.

removable dentures

 

 

They are first fitted by a doctor, but after that the patient is able to remove them and wear them again at any time.

The most popular types of materials from which these fixtures are made are hard acrylic, flexible acrylic, and metal.

These fixtures may be designed as a means of replacing all of the teeth in the mouth when all of them are missing, or they may be designed when only some of the teeth are to be replaced, not all of them.

Fixed dental implants

 

 

They are also installed the first time by the doctor, but they remain fixed in the patient’s mouth and he cannot remove them, and they may also be difficult for the doctor to remove.

The materials used in the manufacture of these structures vary greatly in their properties, advantages, disadvantages, and intended uses.

Types of fixed dental implants

When talking about the types of dental implants that are fixed inside the mouth, we find that there are three main types of them, which are: crowns, bridges, and veneers.

Crowns

 

 

They are crowns that resemble natural teeth and are prepared to replace the outer layer of them.

These implants are used for many reasons, such as molars that are severely damaged, or molars that have undergone root canal filling and not much remains.

Bridges

 

 

A type of fixed prosthesis, made when there is a loss of teeth, where these teeth are replaced by relying on the adjacent teeth.

In these cases, an accurate evaluation is made of the teeth adjacent to those teeth that need to be replaced, and we at Smile Art Center have enough experience and capabilities to help us in the accurate evaluation.

Veneers

 

 

Veneers are primarily used in many cases for cosmetic purposes; however, these implants also have therapeutic benefits.

Veneers contribute to creating what is known as a Hollywood smile, which is a smile in which the teeth are very white and have very aesthetic shapes and sizes.

 

Here we have talked about the most important types of dental implants currently available, whether removable or fixed, which we are working to provide through the Smile Art Center with high quality.
