Full-mouth dental restoration: which solutions suit your situation?

A bone graft may be required before dental implants are placed when there is insufficient bone volume. This treatment strengthens or rebuilds the jawbone in preparation for an implant.

Avantages

Strengthens the bone structure and may make implant placement possible when bone volume is insufficient.

TechniqueGrafting with bone or a substitute material, followed by healing and preparation for implant placement, according to the selected protocol.

A bridge is a fixed dental prosthesis that replaces one or more missing teeth and is supported by neighbouring teeth or implants.

Avantages

A quick, aesthetic and fixed solution that restores chewing function and improves the appearance of the smile.

TechniqueThe bridge is custom-made in a laboratory from a dental impression. It is then tried in, adjusted and secured according to the type of bridge. Several types are available, including conventional bridges, resin-bonded or Maryland bridges, which are less invasive, and implant-supported bridges, which rest on implants rather than neighbouring teeth.

Suitable for certain fully or partially edentulous arches, All-on-4 and All-on-6 treatments are designed to replace a complete arch of teeth with a full implant-supported bridge.

Avantages

Restoration of a complete arch with a fixed prosthesis. All-on-4, for example, uses four implants to support a full prosthesis.

TechniqueIn some situations, a temporary prosthesis can be secured on the day the implants are placed, in a single appointment. This option depends in particular on your circumstances and the results of your dental assessment.

Dental crowns are fixed prostheses that completely cover a damaged or root-treated tooth, providing protection and an improved appearance.

Avantages

They restore chewing function, protect weakened teeth and improve the appearance of the smile. With proper care, they can last for many years.

TechniqueThe procedure begins with preparation of the tooth, followed by an impression to create a bespoke crown. A temporary crown may be fitted while the permanent crown is being made. Crowns may be made from metal, ceramic or composite resin, depending on aesthetic and functional requirements.

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front surface of the teeth to correct aesthetic imperfections.

Avantages

They improve the colour, shape and size of the teeth, with a natural-looking result. Veneers are used to correct teeth that are slightly misshapen or discoloured.

TechniqueVeneer treatment begins with a dental examination and impressions. Some enamel may need to be removed to ensure a precise fit. Ceramic veneers are then custom-made and bonded securely for a carefully finished aesthetic result. Composite veneers can be created directly on the teeth.

Removable dentures are appliances that replace one or more missing teeth and can be taken out easily for cleaning.

Avantages

A cost-effective solution that improves chewing function and can be made quickly. They are suitable for patients who cannot or do not wish to undergo dental surgery.

TechniqueThe process begins with a consultation and impressions of the jaw. Once made, the denture is adjusted to support comfort and function. Dentures may be complete, replacing all the teeth, or partial, replacing some teeth, and are often made from acrylic or resin.
