What are implant-supported fixed dentures? What is a fixed denture? Is it a permanent dental application? People wonder what a fixed denture is. Fixed dentures cannot be removed by the patient and are similar to your natural teeth. To achieve the same function as natural teeth, your dentist will need to affix prosthetic teeth to a dental implant. A dental implant is an artificial root that is anchored into your jawbone to mimic your natural root. Dental crowns, dental bridges or dental implants applied to replace missing teeth in mouth. They are called fixed dentures. These dentures can only be fitted and removed by dentists.
Fixed dentures are applied to eliminate tooth deficiencies. They can be applied to replace all teeth or single tooth upper or lower jaw. They are prepared to be compatible with the patient’s natural teeth.
Fixed dentures allow the patient’s teeth to be restored. Fixed dentures can be used to repair single or multiple teeth or to eliminate gaps between teeth.
What are the Types of Fixed Dentures?
Tooth loss can occur due to various reasons and these losses can damage chewing functions and the aesthetic appearance of the patient.
In order to prevent this, the doctor decides on the fixed denture to be used after the necessary examinations. There are different types of fixed dentures:
Dental Crowns
Over time, teeth can be damaged due to various reasons such as decay, trauma or wear due to just usual use. Depending on this, deformation may occur in the shape or size of the teeth. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped dentures that can be placed on the tooth in such cases. These crowns, a new replacement for damaged teeth, can be made with metal-supported porcelain or zirconia. Dental crowns, which are dentures that imitate natural teeth, are worn on damaged or decayed teeth.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a type of denture that is fixed to the natural teeth at both ends of the gap in order to close the gaps caused by missing teeth. Dental bridges are made of porcelain on metal or zirconium substrate.
What is Implant-Supported Fixed Denture?
Implant-supported fixed dentures are very close to the patient’s own natural tooth structure. Unlike crowns or frames, dental implants are used in an implant-supported dental bridge. Dental implants are surgically placed for replacement of missing teeth. Dental implants ensure that dental bridges keep in place.
Application Scenarios: What is Fixed Denture?
Fixed dentures are applied in cases where the patient has a single missing tooth, a single tooth deformation or more than one missing tooth, provided that it has adjacent teeth. In addition, the patient’s suitability for this procedure is determined by detailed examinations.
In How Many Sessions Are Fixed Dentures Applied?
The duration of the treatment may vary depending on:
- The scope of the treatment to be applied,
- Which material will be used, and
- Whether or not veneering will be applied.
However, fixed denture treatment can usually be completed in 1-2 sessions.

Fixed dentures provide functional and aesthetic correction. In terms of function, it allows patients to eat and chew normally as before. It helps the patient to speak comfortably by filling the tooth cavities. Aesthetically fixed dentures are especially designed to match the colour of natural teeth.
