Fixed Artifical Teeth
What Are Fixed Artificial Teeth?
Fixed artificial teeth are permanent dental restorations designed to replace missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures, these prosthetics are firmly attached to the jawbone or adjacent teeth, offering a stable and long-term solution. They improve chewing ability, speech, and overall oral health.
Why Choose Fixed Artificial Teeth?
Benefits Over Removable Dentures
- Enhanced stability and functionality
- Natural appearance and feel
- Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure
- Long-lasting durability with proper care
Types of Fixed Artificial Teeth
1. Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone, serving as a foundation for artificial teeth.
2. Dental Bridges
Bridges are fixed prosthetics that use adjacent teeth for support, filling gaps caused by missing teeth.
3. Implant-Supported Dentures
A hybrid option combining implants and dentures for added stability.

Individuals experiencing the following may be ideal candidates:
- Missing one or more teeth
