Implants prosthetics

The growing relevance of dental implants creates high demand for prosthetic restorations on implants. After all, the implant itself is just a titanium substitute for the tooth root, and to achieve full functionality, it must be fitted with the part that serves for chewing — the prosthesis. In dentistry, a prosthesis refers to any construction that replaces a missing or destroyed tooth. This can be a crown, a bridge, or even a full arch prosthesis with artificial gum.

From this comes the definition of implant-supported prosthetics.

Implant-supported prosthetics is a method of restoring the dentition using dental implants and prostheses. This technology allows not only the replacement of a single lost tooth but, in complex cases, an entire dental arch — meaning a full set of teeth on the jaw.

In this article, we will explain how to restore chewing ability and the aesthetics of your smile even in the most complex cases. We will cover the key aspects of this procedure, including its definition and indications, the different types of implant-supported prostheses and their advantages. We will also look at the latest innovations in the field and discuss the importance of choosing a qualified specialist to achieve the best possible results. After reading this article, you will better understand how implant-supported prosthetics can change your life for the better.

Dental Prosthetics on Implants in Minsk

In Minsk, dental services keep up with global standards and trends. Implant-supported prosthetics are at a high level thanks to the daily efforts of leading specialists such as Anton Pavlovich Dobritsky and Vladimir Leonidovich Sheleg. These doctors are renowned for their achievements in implantology and prosthetics, the most important being thousands of happy patients. It is no surprise that patients travel from all over the world to be treated by them and leave only positive reviews.

Such a high level of trust is well deserved — you will see this for yourself at the very first consultation. And if you do not have the opportunity to visit Minsk frequently, online consultations can be arranged for your convenience, as well as assistance in organizing treatment and support at every stage.

When Should You Consider Implant-Supported Prosthetics?

Indications include:

• Complete tooth loss, requiring full jaw restoration (complex implantation All-on-4/6/X).
• Partial tooth loss, when restoration of one or several missing teeth is necessary.
• Inability to wear conventional removable dentures due to allergies to materials or other medical contraindications.
• Desire for a more durable and aesthetically appealing solution compared to traditional removable dentures.

Implant-Supported Prosthetics: Patient Recommendations

Reading this article is not a substitute for an examination by a specialist. Before deciding on implant-supported prosthetics, it is essential to undergo diagnostics, take an X-ray (CBCT), and consult both a prosthodontist and an oral surgeon.

During your consultation, you will be able to:

• Discuss possible prosthetic options.
• Ensure there are no contraindications for implantation.
• Review a plan for preliminary oral preparation, if necessary.

After weighing the pros and cons, undergoing oral sanitation, and if required, orthodontic preparation, you can proceed with implant placement. A natural question may arise: isn’t it important to understand what type of prosthesis or crown you actually need?

Types of Implant-Supported Prosthetics

Today, implant-supported prosthetics are, in most cases, fixed (with the exception of rare or temporary removable prostheses). This means that the patient does not need to remove the crown or prosthesis. Specifically, fixed implant-supported prosthetics is a method of restoring the function and aesthetics of the dentition in which the prostheses are placed on implants and cannot be removed by the patient. This ensures durability, comfort, and a result very close to natural conditions.

The main types of fixed implant-supported prosthetics include:

• Single crown on an implant – involves placing a crown directly on an implant, without the need for removal. This option provides comfort and convenience, as the prosthesis does not shift, irritate the gum, and is as close to natural teeth as possible.
• Implant-supported bridge – in cases of multiple missing teeth, a bridge supported by implants may be offered.
• Full-arch fixed prosthetics on implants (All-on-4/6): used in cases of complete tooth loss, where a full dental arch prosthesis with artificial gum is fixed on several implants.

Prostheses on implants may also differ in materials (metal-ceramic or zirconia) and in fixation type (cement-retained or screw-retained). To navigate this variety of options, we recommend scheduling a consultation with a prosthodontist.

How Much Does Implant-Supported Prosthetics Cost?

The price of implant-supported prosthetics in Minsk varies and depends on many factors: the qualifications and experience of the doctors, the equipment used, the materials, and the complexity of the clinical case. The final cost is calculated individually after a detailed consultation and comprehensive analysis.
