Anyone who has lost all or nearly all of their teeth knows the drawbacks of a removable denture: it can wobble, press when eating and often affects speech. Implant-supported fixed teeth offer a stable alternative. At our practice for implantology in Berlin-Mitte, right by Rosenthaler Platz, we plan these restorations digitally, precisely and gently.
Fixed Teeth for the Edentulous Jaw in Berlin: Your Options
For an edentulous (toothless) jaw, implants can serve as load-bearing pillars for a fixed bridge. Instead of replacing each missing tooth on its own, an entire dental arch is anchored on several implants – usually on four or more implants, depending on your situation.
Two paths are generally possible:
- Fixed teeth: The bridge is firmly anchored and is not removed – for a feel that comes very close to natural teeth.
- Implant-supported, removable solution: A denture is stabilised by implants but can be taken out for cleaning – an option when a fixed restoration is not suitable.
Which path fits you depends on your bone, your chewing load and your wishes. You will find more background on our implantology page and specifically on care for the edentulous jaw.
Why Implants Outperform a Loose Denture
Implants in the edentulous jaw transmit chewing forces directly into the bone. This keeps the jawbone active and helps prevent the bone loss that often progresses under a purely soft-tissue-borne denture.
The everyday benefits:
- Secure hold without adhesive, even with firm food
- Clear speech with no slipping
- Natural chewing sensation and greater quality of life
- Protection of the bone and stable facial contours
The Role of Bone – When Augmentation or a Sinus Lift Is Needed
An implant needs enough bone for a firm anchor. If bone has receded over time, we assess whether bone augmentation makes sense. In the posterior upper jaw, a sinus lift may also be required to create height for the implants.
Whether and to what extent such steps are needed is shown precisely by three-dimensional planning. We explain the details on our bone augmentation page.
3D-Guided Planning for the Full Arch
As a DGI-certified implantologist with more than 20 years of experience, Said Hawali, specialist dentist for oral surgery, relies on digital precision. With 3D/DVT diagnostics we capture bone availability, nerve pathways and the sinus to the millimetre.
On this basis we plan each implant position virtually before the first step is taken. This increases safety, protects the tissue and makes treatment more predictable and gentler.
The Treatment Journey – Step by Step
- Consultation and diagnostics: Examination, DVT scan and discussion of your wishes.
- Digital planning: Defining the number and position of implants, with bone augmentation if needed.
- Gentle procedure: Placing the implants according to the 3D plan.
- Healing: The bone bonds firmly with the implants.
- Fixed restoration: Your fixed bridge is fitted.
Stability, Quality of Life and Aftercare
Once treatment is complete, you wear fixed teeth that are resilient and let you eat, speak and laugh with ease. To keep it that way, good home care and regular check-ups are essential. At the review appointments we check the implants, the gums and the fixed restoration.
Costs depend on individual factors – such as the number of implants, the effort involved in any bone augmentation and the type of restoration. We provide concrete figures only after diagnostics, within a personal plan.
