About this topic
Prosthesis options
Fixed, removable or implant-supported restoration options for replacing missing teeth.
When are they considered?

How is a prosthesis chosen?
Missing areas, remaining teeth, gums, bite, manual dexterity and expectations are assessed together.
Main planning steps
- Examining the mouth and jaw structure
- Comparing fixed, removable and implant-supported options
- Defining impressions, design and use conditions
- Creating a plan for fit, cleaning and review
Use and care
Cleaning depends on the type of prosthesis. Daily care and regular reviews support fit and oral health.
Caution: Adjustment issues can occur initially; pain, sores or marked movement should not be corrected independently.
