The custom prosthetics clinic "Kiadent" offers full dental prosthetics for cases of complete tooth loss in Odessa.
Total prosthetics are possible on natural teeth (if they can be treated) or on implants (in the absence of teeth or poor tooth condition). We provide complete diagnostics and prepare several treatment plans at our clinic on Tyraspolska Street.
Why it is important to restore missing teeth
Prolonged absence of teeth leads to a decrease in bone volume and height (atrophy) and changes in jaw shape.
Chewing stimulates blood flow in the spongy bone tissue, promoting the formation of new bone cells. After the removal of even one tooth, the jaw loses load, and the hard tissue deteriorates.
The goal of treatment is to restore the chewing load on the jawbone.

Options for prosthetics in cases of total tooth loss
Fixed prosthetics for all teeth
Fixed prosthesis is an orthopedic construction securely fixed on four or six supporting implants. It halts bone resorption, provides the necessary chewing load on jawbones, and restores the aesthetics of the smile.
Before complete prosthetics, the dentist performs a minimally invasive procedure following the All-on-4 or All-on-6 protocols (placing 4 or 6 implants). Then, an adaptive prosthesis is fixed for 3–6 months (approximately the time required for the artificial root to integrate with the jawbone). After the osteointegration period, the dentist replaces the temporary structure with a permanent one.
Thorough diagnostics and planning
Three-dimensional (3D) imaging, such as CBCT, reveals the anatomy of the patient’s jawbones. Based on this data, we create a treatment plan, design a digital smile, and virtually position the implants with the orthopedic construction.
Afterward, the implants are positioned according to the developed template. This approach ensures excellent aesthetic results and proper jaw alignment.
Removable prosthetics for all teeth
A full removable denture is an acrylic structure consisting of a crown section (restores the appearance of natural teeth) and a base (acts as a foundation for artificial teeth and mimics the gum tissue).
It replaces lost teeth across the entire dental arch, distributes chewing pressure on the periodontal tissues, and ensures normal aesthetics. However, the spongy bone receives minimal stimulation (most of the load is distributed on the gum tissue).
A full removable denture for the lower jaw is a U-shaped structure supported by the soft periodontal tissues. The upper structure covers the entire palate. Unlike fixed prostheses, removable ones are secured using special adhesive materials (gels, films, creams).
Relative contraindications:
- Allergy to the materials of the orthodontic construction.
- Fluctuations in blood pressure.
- Undergoing radiation therapy.
- Insufficient bone tissue volume.
What to choose for restoring all teeth?
Before selecting a system for a patient, our doctors evaluate the clinical situation:
- If the teeth are severely damaged, prosthetics are done on treated teeth.
- If no teeth remain or they need to be extracted, implantation is the best option.
- Some patients request a removable structure because it is more affordable. We explain that the denture base requires adjustment every 2–3 years, while a full implant-supported prosthesis does not shift and can last a lifetime.
Caring for full dentures
Maintenance of fixed structures
- Brush artificial crowns twice a day with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
- Rinse your mouth with water or antibacterial mouthwash after meals.
- Avoid placing excessive mechanical stress on implants.
- Visit the dental clinic 1–2 times a year for check-ups.
Maintenance of removable structures
- Remove and rinse the structure under running water immediately after meals.
- Clean it with a soft-bristled brush (marked "soft") and toothpaste or gel without harsh abrasives.
- Soak the denture daily in a disinfectant solution for 5 minutes.
Doctor's advice
The most popular disinfectant for daily use is effervescent tablets for removable constructions, which dissolve in water.
Questions and answers
- What if I have a few teeth left? Can I still get full prosthetics?
Yes. A full fixed prosthesis can be placed using an immediate protocol. The dentist will extract non-restorable teeth, place implants, and immediately load them with temporary crowns.
In the case of removable structures, the remaining teeth can serve as supports for the denture.
- Are there dietary restrictions?
Yes. Immediately after implantation (within the first 3–5 days), stick to soft foods such as broths, vegetable purees, boiled eggs, and cottage cheese.
Avoid hard raw vegetables/fruits (apples, carrots), sticky foods (chocolates, toffees), and tough foods (fried meat, nuts). Gradually expand your menu as the osteointegration process progresses.
- What are the best materials for prostheses?
Typically, metal-ceramics are recommended for replacing molars and premolars. For the smile zone, ceramics or zirconium oxide are preferred. These materials are both aesthetically pleasing and durable.
During the consultation, your dentist will explain which prostheses are most suitable for you.
