Complete Dental Prosthesis (Fixed Bridge)
A complete dental prosthesis is a permanent solution for individuals who have lost all their teeth in one or both jaws.

- Entire jaw solution: A holistic approach to restoring a complete set of teeth with impeccable aesthetics.
- Restores facial structure: Prevents face sagging, often associated with total tooth loss.

Dental Implants vs. Traditional Restorations
Compare the benefits of modern dental implants with traditional restoration methods. Uncover the advantages of permanent implants in terms of durability, aesthetics, and overall oral health over conventional alternatives.
Superior Stability
- Rooted in Jawbone: Dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, similar to a natural tooth root. This provides unmatched stability.
- Long Lifespan: With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a longer lifespan than other restorative options.
Enhanced Aesthetics
- Natural Appearance: Dental implants are crafted to match the color, shape, and size of the patient's natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend.
- Facial Structure Preservation: By preventing jawbone resorption, dental implants help maintain the face's natural contour.
Improved Functionality
- Efficient Chewing: Dental implants restore nearly full chewing power, allowing patients to eat their favorite foods without restrictions.
- No Slippage: Unlike dentures, dental implants remain fixed, eliminating the fear of them coming loose while speaking or eating.
Thriving Post Dental Implants: A Comprehensive Guide
Post-Implant Placement Recommendations
- Immediate care: Avoid disturbing the surgical area on the day of the procedure. This includes not touching the area with your fingers or tongue.
- Protective gauze: Keep the gauze pad over the surgical area for at least 30 minutes, then discard it.
- Oral rinsing: Do not rinse vigorously or use a straw during the first 24 hours after surgery.
- Ice packs: Apply an ice pack to the cheek or lip to reduce swelling. Use it in intervals – 20 minutes on, then 20 minutes off.
Managing Bleeding and Swelling
- Swelling: Swelling is a natural response post-surgery. Applying ice packs, as mentioned, can help reduce this effect.
- Bleeding control: Slight bleeding or redness in saliva is not uncommon. If excessive, try biting on a gauze pad or damp tea bag for 30 minutes.
- Warm compress: After 36 hours, gentle warmth can further reduce any lingering swelling.
Dietary Recommendations and Pain Management
- Soft diet: Consume soft foods like yogurt, pudding, mashed potatoes, or soup for the initial days post-surgery.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid hot drinks and food. Do not use straws.
- Pain management: Take pain medication as recommended by your surgeon. Over-the-counter pain relief can also be effective, but consult your surgeon before taking any medication.
Importance of Antibiotics and Oral Hygiene
- Antibiotics: If prescribed, take the antibiotics to help prevent infection. Complete the entire course.
- Oral hygiene: Starting the day after surgery, gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times daily. Regular brushing can resume on the second day, but be gentle around the surgical site.
- Avoid tobacco: Smoking or tobacco use can delay healing and increase the risk of complications.
Activity Limitations and Prosthesis Wearing Guidelines
- Limit physical activity: Avoid vigorous physical activities for 48-72 hours to minimize bleeding and swelling.
- Dentures or partials: Your surgeon will give you specific guidelines if you wear these. Typically, they should not be worn immediately after surgery to allow the area to heal.
- Long-term care: Once fully healed, ensure you’re cleaning around your implants daily to maintain their longevity.
