Screw-retained prostheses are often the ideal choice for patients who need a stable and durable solution for missing teeth. These prostheses are fixed with a screw to the dental implant, providing a secure fit that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
At Shah Dental Care, we use advanced techniques and high-quality materials to deliver screw-retained crowns, bridges, and dentures that perfectly match your natural teeth.
Screw-retained prostheses are placed using a titanium implant that is surgically inserted into the jawbone. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom prosthesis is attached using a screw, ensuring it stays securely in place. Here’s how it works:
We begin by evaluating your oral health and determining whether a screw-retained prosthesis is suitable for you.
The implant is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. After the healing period, the implant bonds with the bone.
Once the implant is fully integrated, the custom screw-retained prosthesis (crown, bridge, or denture) is attached securely using a screw.
A screw-retained prosthesis is secured with a screw, allowing for easy removal and adjustment, while cement-retained prostheses are fixed with dental cement, making them harder to adjust later.
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, ensuring you won't feel pain during the process. Some mild discomfort may occur post-surgery, but it can be managed with medication.
With proper care, screw-retained prostheses can last many years, providing a long-term solution for tooth replacement.
