Fixed dentures, also known as fixed prosthetics or implant-supported dentures, are dental devices that are permanently attached to the jaw, typically supported by dental implants. Unlike traditional removable dentures, which can be taken out for cleaning or during sleep, fixed dentures remain in place and are designed to look and function like natural teeth. There are two main types of fixed dentures: Implant-Supported Fixed Dentures: These dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. The implants serve as artificial tooth roots, providing strong support and stability for the dentures. This option is more permanent and offers a natural feel and appearance. Fixed Bridges: These are a type of fixed denture used when there are missing teeth in a row. A bridge is anchored to the natural teeth on either side of the gap and uses artificial teeth to replace the missing ones. Fixed bridges are non-removable and are typically used when implants aren't an option.
