Full-arch implant bridge is a dental prosthesis that is screwed onto a minimum of 4 implants and replaces all teeth in one jaw (all upper or lower teeth). Other names used by dentists and patients are: fixed teeth, fixed prosthesis on implants, fixed bridge on implants or All-on-4/ All-on-6/ All-on-8 type prostheses or more generically called – All-on-x prostheses.
In recent years, more and more patients from Chisinau, Moldova and from abroad visit Punto Bianco dental clinic to benefit from this treatment. It is important to mention that our own digital dental laboratory and the clinic’s equipment with high-performance intraoral scanners, 3D tomography and experienced multidisciplinary staff allow us in most cases to make full-arch implant-supported bridge in just 24 hours or even on the day of intervention
When do you need fixed teeth on implants?
Patients choose fixed dentures on implants in the following cases:
- Complete tooth loss – Fixed teeth on implants offer a stable and aesthetic solution for completely edentulous patients, fully restoring chewing functionality.
- Teeth severely affected by periodontal disease – When teeth are extremely mobile and affect the general health of the oral cavity, their extraction and replacement with full-arch implant-supported bridges may be the best solution.
- Avoiding removable dentures – Patients who cannot adapt to traditional removable dentures can opt for a fixed solution that offers comfort and natural aesthetics.
- Complete smile reconstruction – Full-arch implant-supported bridges are ideal for patients who want complete dental rehabilitation, combining superior aesthetics with optimal functionality.
- Insufficient bone for traditional implants – In cases of severe bone atrophy, special solutions such as zygomatic or pterygoid implants can be used to support fixed dentures.
Types of Full-arch implant bridges
What types of fixed prostheses do we make at Punto Bianco?
PMMA Provisional Fixed Teeth
This is the prosthesis we make most often for patients. It can be made in less than 24 hours but is strong enough to eat and smile with for 4-6 months until the inserted implants integrate with the bone.
Metal-reinforced Provisional Fixed Dentures
This is a temporary prosthesis we propose to patients as a more resistant alternative when dental implants are further apart or have a less favorable position.
Permanent Fixed Teeth in Zirconia
The #1 choice of patients from Moldova due to the advantageous offer (currently at Punto Bianco clinic the price is identical to that of metal-ceramic prosthesis).
This type of full-arch implant bridge is entirely made from biocompatible and resistant zirconia.
Permanent Fixed Zirconia Teeth reinforced with bar
Among the advantages of this type of fixed prosthesis on implants are repairability, resistance and aesthetics, while its disadvantages are the higher price and production time. However, many patients who come to Moldova from abroad choose precisely this solution.
We are among the few dental clinics in Moldova that promise and actually deliver both implant insertion and provisional fixed dentures on the day of intervention or the next day. This is possible thanks to the advanced technologies we have at Punto Bianco clinic (digital impressions made with the most advanced intraoral scanner, 3D tomography directly in the clinic, our own digital laboratory) as well as the multidisciplinary team with extensive experience in complete and complex dental rehabilitations.
