Fixed Dental Implant Treatments | Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Fixed Dental Implants

Fixed Dental Implants

Fixed Dental Implants are the most advanced and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures, fixed implants feel, function, and look like natural teeth—helping restore confidence, chewing strength, and oral health. Whether you need to replace one tooth, several teeth, or the full arch, fixed dental implant treatments offer strong, stable, and permanent results.

What Are Fixed Dental Implants?

Fixed dental implants are titanium or zirconia posts placed in the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. These implants support permanent crowns, bridges, or full-arch prostheses, giving you teeth that stay firmly in place—no slipping, no clicking, and no daily removal.

Types of Fixed Implant Treatments

1️⃣ Single Tooth Implant

Replaces a single missing tooth without affecting neighbouring teeth.

Benefits: Natural look, strong bite, long-lasting solution.

2️⃣ Implant-Supported Bridge

Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth in a row.

Benefits: Greater stability, bone preservation, no removable parts.

3️⃣ Full Arch Fixed Implants (All-on-4 / All-on-6)

A full set of permanent teeth supported by 4–6 implants in each jaw.

Benefits:

  • Immediate fixed teeth (in suitable cases)
  • Excellent stability
  • High chewing efficiency
  • Restores smile and facial support
