Indications for the installation of fixed structures
The loss of a tooth negatively affects the condition of the entire oral cavity. The prolonged absence of one or more units of the dentition leads to negative consequences:
- displacement of neighboring teeth towards the resulting void;
- atrophy of bone tissue;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract due to insufficient quality of chewing food;
- speech defects;
- inflammatory processes in the oral cavity.
Also, the absence of even one molar looks unaesthetic. Therefore, it is recommended to restore the integrity of the dentition as soon as possible.
Fixed prosthetics are indicated in the following cases:

We suggest you familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of fixed dentures.
| Pros | Cons |

| Durability and reliability (last more than 30 years) | High cost of fixed dentures |
| Aesthetically pleasing appearance, smile restoration | Complexity of the procedure, preliminary preparation required |
| Complete restoration of chewing function | Need for specialized assistance and equipment |
| Minimal risk of allergy, use of hypoallergenic materials | Adaptation time 1.5-2 months |
| Ease of care (regular oral hygiene) | |
| Quick installation (all-on-4 technology in one day) |
| Type | Description | Application and features | Important information before installation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laminates | Thin plates attached to the front of the jaw. Most often made of ceramic or zirconium dioxide. | They are used to improve the appearance, hide cracks and chips, correct the color and shape. | Laminates are a long-term correction that cannot be removed without replacing them with new ones. They are not installed in case of bruxism, absence of chewing units or damaged enamel. |
| Inlays | Improved fillings, often made of ceramics, made from impressions. | They are used in case of significant destruction, prevent the development of caries under the filling due to better adhesion. | Making an insert requires 2-3 visits to the orthodontist, including preparation and installation. |
| Onlays (crowns) | Constructions that are put on a damaged molar. They are made of metal ceramics, ceramics or zirconium dioxide. | Restore the shape and functionality of severely damaged teeth. | Preparation of the tooth includes strengthening with pins or root inserts. Installation of crowns requires 2-3 visits. |
| Bridge implants | Constructions consisting of several parts: prostheses and crowns, which are attached on both sides to adjacent units. | Replace one or two consecutive missing molars. They are not installed to replace the last teeth in a row or canines. | Before installation, the molars are ground down to match the thickness of the crowns. Bridge structures are rarely installed due to the need to use many elements as a support. |
| Fixed on implants | Prostheses installed on screws (implants) that are screwed into the jaw bone and replace the root of the removed tooth. An abutment and crown are attached to them. | Allow you to replace any number of missing units, including the complete absence of teeth. | Implantation is contraindicated in cases of blood clotting disorders or immune diseases. Does not require treatment of adjacent units. |
The cheapest fixed dental prostheses are crowns and bridges. The cost of implants also depends on the material they are made of. The highest price is for nylon fixed dental prostheses, the lowest is for acrylic structures.

About the service
Prosthetics is a procedure aimed at restoring dental units, which is carried out when one or more teeth are completely destroyed. The manipulation is necessary to restore the full functioning of the jaw and the aesthetic appearance of the dentition. In dentistry, it is performed by orthopedic doctors.
Fixed dental prosthetics is not a technology for installing implants, but a variant of classification of dental prostheses. This is the name of the procedure if the patient is given a prosthesis that he cannot remove on his own.
In the K+31 clinic in Moscow, experienced orthopedic dentists are engaged in the installation of all types of modern fixed dental prostheses.
