implantatstøttet

Implantatstøttet refers to a type of dental treatment that utilizes dental implants to support prosthetic restorations. This method is commonly employed for replacing missing teeth, offering a stable and durable solution. The process involves surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone, which then serve as artificial tooth roots. Once osseointegration, the process where the bone fuses with the implant, is complete, these implants can anchor various dental prosthetics.

These prosthetics can range from single crowns to bridges or even complete dentures. For a single missing tooth, an implant can support a crown that closely matches the appearance and function of a natural tooth. When multiple teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge can be used, where the bridge is attached to implants rather than adjacent natural teeth. In cases of complete tooth loss, implant-supported dentures offer a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures, as they are anchored to implants, preventing movement and improving chewing efficiency. The success of implantatstøttet treatments relies on good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and the patient's overall health.
