For many considering dental implants to achieve a complete smile, fixed dentures (also known as fixed bridges) might seem like a convenient solution. However, at Agagsia Dental Clinic, we encourage our patients to explore alternative options to fixed dentures. Here’s why we advise UK patients against choosing fixed dentures.
1. Pressure on Implants Due to Fixed Dentures
Fixed dentures put additional pressure on the implants. This constant pressure can lead to complications, including implant failure. Dental implants need to integrate properly with the jawbone, and excessive force can interfere with this process. At Agagsia Dental Clinic, our priority is to ensure the success and longevity of your implants, which is why we generally do not recommend fixed dentures to our patients.
2. Health Risks and Implant Success Rate
For our UK patients, dental implants are a valuable long-term health investment. The success of an implant heavily depends on post-treatment care and minimising pressure on the implant during the healing phase. Fixed dentures pose certain risks that can jeopardise the success of the implant treatment. For this reason, fixed dentures are not part of the standard implant treatment package at Agagsia Dental Clinic.
However, for patients who fully understand and accept these risks, we do offer the option of fixed dentures at an additional fee. While many clinics charge high prices for fixed dentures, we prioritise the health of our patients over immediate comfort.
3. Temporary Discomfort Is Worth the Long-Term Success
We understand that fixed dentures may seem more comfortable in the short term, but we encourage our UK patients to consider the long-term benefits. Using a temporary denture while the implants heal can lead to better results and reduces the risk of implant failure. This brief period of three to four months allows the implant to bond securely with the jawbone, minimising future complications.
Our Approach: Prioritising Health Over Quick Fixes
While many clinics recommend fixed dentures for the immediate comfort they offer, Agagsia Dental Clinic places the health of our UK patients first. We take the time to inform our patients, guiding them toward solutions that promote long-term success and implant stability. Although fixed dentures may appear attractive, the risks often outweigh the short-term benefits.
Fixed dentures can compromise the success of your dental implant treatment by exerting excessive pressure, potentially leading to implant failure. At Agagsia Dental Clinic, we offer solutions that prioritise the longevity and stability of your implants. For patients fully informed and willing to accept the risks fixed dentures are available at an additional cost.
