Semi Fixed Teeth
Semi-fixed teeth usually refers to dental restorations that are fixed or anchored in place but can be removed by a dental professional if necessary. This concept is often associated with certain types of dental prosthetics, such as implant-supported dentures or bridges
About Semi fixed teeth
Technique
- The dentist prepares the abutment teeth by removing a portion of their enamel to make room for the crowns.
- Impressions of the prepared teeth are taken to create custom crowns.
- A temporary bridge is placed while the permanent one is being fabricated.
- The permanent bridge is cemented onto the prepared abutment teeth, anchoring the artificial teeth in place.
Benefits
- Improved Functionality: Fixed or semi-permanent tooth replacements restore chewing and speaking abilities to a significant extent.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: These solutions provide natural-looking and esthetically pleasing results, improving the patient’s smile.
- Durability: Fixed and semi-permanent restorations are known for their durability and long-lasting nature.
- Preservation of Adjacent Teeth: Dental bridges and implant-supported restorations do not require the alteration of adjacent natural teeth, which is beneficial for overall oral health.
- Stability: Fixed and implant-supported solutions offer exceptional stability and can be treated like natural teeth.
