Hello,
I am facing the decision to have all my upper teeth extracted, and dentists have recommended a removable denture. I would like to know what options there are with implants, as I want a permanent solution and not a removable denture. I am also interested in the price and the minimum number of implants required to make a fixed prosthesis. If you could also tell me how long the whole procedure usually takes and what possible obstacles there are, it would help me a great deal.
Thank you and kind regards,
Mimi

Dear Mimi!

A fixed construction should be supported by at least six implants. Bone density, anatomical conditions that determine the length and thickness of the implants... are key factors influencing the time required from placement to loading of the implants. The procedure can therefore take from three weeks to six months. The key obstacle that can complicate or prevent the procedure is a bone deficit in the region between the two canines. Bone deficiency in the premolar and molar region is compensated for by a sinus lift. Price:
-EUR 750 (implant without artificial bone) X 6 = EUR 4,500,
-EUR 210 (metal-ceramic pontic) X 6 = EUR 1,260,
-EUR 420 (crown on an implant) X 6 = EUR 2,520.

Have a nice day!
