Implant Prosthodontics Gdańsk – Modern Prosthetic Restorations on Implants
Losing a tooth does not have to mean giving up a beautiful smile and comfortable eating. Implant prosthodontics in Gdańsk is a modern method of tooth restoration that, at Prodent, combines proven experience with the latest digital technologies. For 40 years, we have specialized in creating prosthetic restorations on implants – from aesthetic ceramic crowns in the smile zone to functional Toronto Bridge prostheses for complete edentulism. We design each solution individually, using 3D tomography and CAD/CAM systems, to ensure a durable, natural result and complete comfort for years to come.
What is implant prosthodontics and why is it the best solution?
Implant prosthodontics in Gdańsk is a specialized field combining implantology with dental prosthetics. At Prodent, we offer comprehensive prosthetic solutions on implants – from single crowns to full restorations for edentulism. Each restoration is individually designed using CAD/CAM technology, considering aesthetic, functional, and anatomical aspects.
Types of Prosthetic Restorations on Implants at Prodent Gdańsk
Implant Crowns – Ideal Restoration for Single Teeth
An implant crown is the most aesthetic solution for a missing single tooth. At Prodent, we offer:
- Crowns on standard abutments – full-zirconia in the posterior region, ensuring high durability.
- Crowns on Atlantis abutments – custom titanium abutments (gold-plated in the aesthetic zone) with all-ceramic crowns, guaranteeing excellent gum shaping and ideal sealing.
- Crowns on hybrid abutments – zirconia on a Ti-Base, eliminating the risk of gum discoloration.
- Screw-retained crowns – minimizing the risk of cementitis and facilitating servicing.
OVERDENTURE PROSTHESIS ON TWO IMPLANTS
OVERDENTURE PROSTHESIS ON TELESCOPIC CROWNS
Implant Bridges – Functional Restorations for Multiple Teeth
Porcelain bridges on implants are an excellent alternative to removable dentures. At Prodent, all bridges are designed using CAD/CAM technology and made of zirconia.
- Toronto Bridge – a screw-retained structure on 4-6 implants, ideal for edentulism. It can be monolithic zirconia, titanium veneered with porcelain or composite. For the maxilla, we recommend 6 implants. The Toronto Bridge provides comfort like natural teeth – with no palatal coverage, allowing freedom to taste and speak.
Overdentures – Comfort and Stability
- Denture on two implants with locators – an economical method for stabilizing a lower acrylic denture. The locator system significantly improves retention and comfort.
- Denture on telescopic crowns – a hybrid solution (acrylic-metal, on Syncone or with PEEK). The crowns are not connected, which facilitates servicing.
- Denture on a titanium bar – a fixed-removable structure, firmly seated, removable only for hygiene purposes. Recommended for bone loss, elderly patients, or those with limited manual dexterity. It offers high aesthetics, easy hygiene, and lip support.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Implant Prosthodontics in Gdańsk
1. How does implant prosthodontics differ from traditional prosthetics?
Implant prosthodontics bases restorations on titanium implants screwed into the bone, while traditional prosthetics uses natural teeth or gums as support. Key differences: implants do not require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth (as with bridges), they prevent jawbone loss, and offer greater stability and comfort. Implant-supported restorations are permanent or highly stabilized (overdentures), eliminating the discomfort of removable dentures. At Prodent, we precisely plan every implant prosthodontic solution using 3D technology.
2. How long does the implant prosthodontic process take?
The standard process takes 3-6 months from implant placement to final prosthetic restoration. After implant surgery, there is an osseointegration period (bone fusion with the implant) lasting 3-4 months. This is followed by impression taking, design, and placement of the prosthetic work (2-4 weeks). At Prodent, in selected cases, we offer immediate loading of implants with a provisional crown.
3. Is implant prosthodontics painful?
No, implant prosthodontic procedures are performed under local anesthesia, which eliminates pain during the procedure. After implant placement, there may be slight discomfort that subsides within 2-3 days with standard painkillers. The prosthetic stage (impression taking and placement of restorations) is completely pain-free. At Prodent, we ensure maximum patient comfort at every stage of treatment.
4. What is the difference between a cemented and a screw-retained crown?
A cemented crown is seated on an abutment using special dental cement, while a screw-retained crown is attached directly to the implant through an occlusal access hole. Key differences: screw-retained crowns eliminate the risk of cementitis (inflammation from cement remnants) and facilitate servicing, but require precise implant positioning. Cemented crowns offer better aesthetics (no access holes) and greater freedom in implant positioning.
5. Can implant prosthodontics be performed for complete edentulism?
Yes, implant prosthodontics is an optimal solution for complete edentulism. At Prodent, we offer the Toronto Bridge (on 4-6 implants), overdentures on a titanium bar, or on locators (minimum 2 implants). The Toronto Bridge acts as a fixed restoration, while overdentures are highly stabilized but removable for hygiene. The choice depends on anatomical conditions, budget, and patient preferences – we advise on the optimal option after 3D diagnostics.
6. How long do implant-supported prosthetic restorations last?
Properly fabricated and maintained prosthetic restorations last 10-15 years or longer. Zirconia and ceramic crowns are exceptionally resistant to abrasion and discoloration. A Toronto Bridge can function for 15-20 years. Key factors for durability are: regular hygiene, check-ups every 6 months, professional cleanings, and avoiding excessive loads. At Prodent, we offer detailed care instructions and a post-treatment check-up program.
7. What are Atlantis abutments and when are they used?
Atlantis abutments are individually designed and milled titanium abutments, fabricated using CAD/CAM technology based on a digital scan. We primarily use them in the aesthetic zone (anterior teeth) where an ideal emergence profile and sealing are crucial. Atlantis ensures optimal gum shaping, minimizes the risk of complications, and guarantees long-term aesthetics. At Prodent, we also offer gold-plated Atlantis abutments for an even better visual effect.
8. Can I wear a temporary restoration during osseointegration?
Yes, at Prodent, we always prioritize the patient's aesthetic comfort. During the healing period (3-4 months), we provide a provisional restoration – this can be an adhesive denture (Maryland bridge), an immediate denture, or a temporary implant crown (if conditions allow for immediate loading). In the aesthetic zone, we always provide a temporary solution so that the patient is not without a tooth.
9. What examinations are needed before implant prosthodontics?
The basic examination is 3D computed tomography (CBCT), which we perform with a Vatech device at Prodent. Tomography allows us to assess bone quality and quantity, plan implant positions, and predict future prosthetic work. Additionally, we perform intraoral scans or impressions, bite analysis, and digital planning. In some cases, general examinations (blood count, blood sugar level) are needed. The entire diagnostic process is carried out in our clinics.
10. Can I undergo the entire implant prosthodontic treatment at Prodent?
Yes, Prodent is a clinic offering comprehensive implant prosthodontic treatment "under one roof." We perform: consultation and 3D diagnostics, implant placement surgery, healing control period, CAD/CAM design of prosthetic work, fabrication and placement of crowns/bridges/dentures, post-treatment check-ups, and hygiene program. We cooperate with trusted laboratories and have our own technological facilities. We have two locations in Gdańsk – Garnizon and Madison.
