Understanding the Cost of Fixed Dental Prosthesis at Dental Asensio

How much does a fixed dental prosthesis cost? Fixed dental prostheses have become an increasingly popular dental solution, offering a permanent attachment in the patient’s mouth without the need for removal. Unlike traditional dentures, which might require an initial adjustment period and pose discomfort during the initial days, the fixed prosthesis provides an effortless speaking and eating experience without the concern of food debris accumulation.

Types of Fixed Dental Prostheses:

  • Fixed Prosthesis on Teeth: This prosthesis latches onto the patient’s existing healthy teeth, ensuring solid support. However, a noted drawback is the need to modify and polish the anchor teeth for the prosthesis to fit appropriately.
  • Fixed Prosthesis on Dental Implants: This prosthesis is anchored to titanium implants, effectively replacing the tooth’s root and ensuring the prosthetic tooth is securely attached.

Such fixed solutions not only address the aesthetic concerns of missing teeth but also enable patients to chew and speak without hindrance, mimicking the natural functionality of real teeth.

Procedure Details at Dental Asensio:

At Dental Asensio, our experts specialize in both dentistry and stomatology, ensuring a precise and customized prosthetic solution for every patient. The procedure typically involves:

  • For Fixed Prosthesis on Teeth: Teeth are shaped and adjusted, creating a “stump” to which the prosthesis will later be secured. Modifying the tooth structure is a necessary step in this procedure.
  • For Fixed Prosthesis on Dental Implants: The dental piece is anchored onto the titanium implant, serving as the tooth’s foundation. A crown or bridge is then placed atop the implant.

Diving into the Cost of Fixed Dental Prosthesis:

The investment in a dental prosthesis is essential when confronting tooth loss. Generally, the cost of a fixed prosthesis varies greatly based on individual needs and specific treatments. On average, a fixed prosthesis starts from €250, and comprehensive fixed dentures can begin at €4,500. It’s essential to note that these costs can fluctuate based on:

  • Chosen materials
  • Number of teeth requiring replacement
  • The technology and techniques utilized
  • The need for interim or provisional prostheses

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

/0 Comments/in /by

Dental implants, often composed of pure titanium, are designed to replace original roots. This enables Dental Asensio to position an aesthetically pleasing and functional artificial piece where a natural tooth once was.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a common choice for those who have lost a tooth or teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or some other reason. The dental implant procedure involves the placement of the implant under a local anaesthetic, usually causing minimal discomfort. These implants fuse with your jawbone, providing stable support for artificial teeth, and ensuring they won’t slip or shift in your mouth – a critical benefit for eating and speaking.

4 Dental Implant Care Tips

  1. Complete oral hygiene: Brush after every meal and floss daily. Know the type of toothbrush that suits your dental needs.
  2. Reduce or quit smoking: Smoking weakens the bone structure and can reduce implant efficacy.
  3. Regular dentist visits: Schedule appointments every 3 months at Dental Asensio for routine cleanings and to monitor implant conditions.
  4. Avoid hard foods: Chewing hard items like ice or candy could cause damage to dental crowns and natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Conservative procedure: They don’t require altering teeth adjacent to the replacement site.
  • Universal applicability: An implant can be an option for anyone, as long as there is an initial oral health evaluation.
  • Prevents chewing and tooth movement issues: Implants address the gap left by a lost tooth, preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting.
  • Boosts self-esteem: A dental implant can restore your smile and confidence.
  • Normal hygiene care: Dental implants don’t require special care beyond regular brushing and periodic dentist check-ups.
  • Applicable even with insufficient bone.

The Dental Implant Process

The implant process involves inserting a ‘screw-like’ structure into the gum and jawbone base. This acts as the new tooth root and integrates with the bone throughout about 2 to 3 months. Once the bone-implant union is confirmed, we place a pillar or base for the new tooth or prosthesis to grip, ensuring a natural-looking result.

Cost of Dental Implants

The dental implant cost can vary depending on the patient’s oral health status and the number of implants needed. Typically, the price for a quality complete dental implant in a Spanish dental clinic, like Dental Asensio, ranges between €1000 and €1500.

Snap-on Smile: The Ultimate Guide to a Quick Smile Makeover

What is Snap-on Smile?

Snap-on Smile is a dental aesthetic treatment that is characterized by being removable. It is made up of a very thin and resistant resin case that is customized to fit your mouth. It is placed over the teeth to change their shape and appearance temporarily and can be removed and inserted anytime you need it.

This technique modifies the appearance of the smile immediately and is very useful in situations in which you need to show off your smile in public, whether at events, talks, or conferences … It is also one of the most requested and definitive solutions to replace missing teeth while we are placing dental implants or the person is undergoing any other dental treatment. With this treatment, the tooth structure is not altered; it simply fits in and out of the patient’s natural teeth because it is reversible. At Dental Asensio, we recommend Snap-on Smile to enjoy your smile temporarily or permanently, as it is the perfect aesthetic solution.

Snap-on Smile procedure

The procedure is virtually painless. In the first consultation, the dentist makes an impression of the teeth, without anaesthesia, which is sent directly to the laboratory. The mould is filled with plaster and then digitized in 3D on a computer.

After this process, the mould is designed with its respective corrections in a digital program and then sent to a 3D printer. The impression is obtained and is taken to a plaster mould called a muffle, to be injected at high pressures into its material and final colour. Finally, the plaster mould is removed for final adjustments and polishing.

In the second consultation, the prosthesis is placed on the patient, and on some occasions, adjustments will be made outside the mouth if necessary.

What are its uses in dental aesthetics?

  • In teeth that present dental stains or tooth colour alterations
  • By being able to make changes in the shape of the teeth, a snap-on smile can be used in those teeth that have an anomaly in form and that affect multiple anterior teeth, and also, in which there is a dental misalignment.
  • In teeth with loss of tooth structure
  • In cases where there are dental absences, the Snap-on Smile improves the aesthetics of the patient.
  • Often used as an alternative to removable prostheses but without palate or hooks
  • It can be used as provisionals in patients who are in the process of treatment or prosthetic rehabilitation with crowns or dental veneers, or also as provisionals in implantology treatments.

  • It is fully reversible and removable.
  • It does not affect the gums or the dental structure of the patient.

  • It does not damage the teeth, since there is no need for dental preparation or grinding.
  • It improves the aesthetics of the smile and allows the specialized dentist to design a new colour, shape, and size for your teeth.
  • With the use of a snap-on smile, the patient does not suffer the anaesthetic effects of the absence of teeth.
