Chew again, smile and live with more stability
Make an Appointment for a Fixed Prosthesis Evaluation
When many teeth are missing, when the dentition is very compromised or when removable prostheses no longer offer security, fixed prostheses can be a solution to regain function, comfort and confidence in everyday life.
At the Hugo Madeira Clinic, each rehabilitation begins with a detailed assessment: we analyze your oral health, bone base, bite, aesthetics, function and your expectations before defining any plan.
Because a fixed prosthesis isn’t just about replacing teeth.
It’s about rebuilding function, stability and quality of life.
This assessment is suitable for you if…
You've lost many or all of your teeth;
He wears removable dentures and is looking for a more fixed solution;
Feel insecure when chewing, talking or smiling;
He has very compromised teeth;
He has had several treatments without a definitive solution;
He wants to know if he can have implants;
Looking for aesthetic and functional rehabilitation;
You want to understand phases, time, investment and alternatives;
It values digital planning, an experienced team and follow-up.
Not all cases are the same.
That’s why evaluation is the first step.
What do we assess in the consultation?
The evaluation for fixed prostheses doesn’t just look at the missing teeth.
We analyze the case as a whole, to understand what the most appropriate approach is.
01
Oral health
Remaining teeth, gums, inflammation, infections, cavities, tooth mobility and periodontal condition.
02
Bone base
Quantity and quality of bone available to assess whether implants may be an option and whether additional procedures are required.
03
Function and bite
The way you chew, close your mouth, distribute forces and use your muscles.
04
Aesthetics
Smile proportion, facial harmony, smile line, color, shape and patient expectations.
05
Habits and general health
Clinical history, medication, smoking, bruxism, oral hygiene, maintenance and factors that may influence treatment.
06
Future planning
Treatment phases, provisional solution, definitive solution, estimated time, investment and maintenance.
From assessment to a new smile, with planning and stability
At the Hugo Madeira Clinic, fixed prostheses are not treated as an isolated procedure.
It is a complete rehabilitation, designed to restore function, aesthetics, comfort and stability, always after an individual assessment.
1. Consultation and diagnosis
We assess your oral health, tooth loss, gums, bone, bite, function and goals.
2. Digital planning
We use imaging, photography, scanning and digital planning to study the case and increase predictability.
3. Clinical discussion
In complex cases, the plan can be analyzed by a multidisciplinary team to define the most appropriate treatment sequence.
4. Interim phase
When indicated, a temporary solution can be placed so that the patient doesn’t lose teeth during the healing process.
5. Final fixed prosthesis
After the appropriate healing and adaptation phase, the definitive prosthesis is produced, designed to restore function, aesthetics and stability.
6. Maintenance
The stability of the result also depends on monitoring, professional hygiene, biofilm control and regular maintenance.
It’s not a patch. It’s a complete rehabilitation.
There are cases that don’t need yet another temporary solution.
They need a complete plan.
Many patients arrive tired of missing teeth, unstable removable prostheses, difficulty chewing, insecurity when smiling or fear that the case “no longer has a solution”.
Fixed prostheses can help reorganize the mouth as a whole, restoring function, aesthetics and confidence.
In cases of total or severe tooth loss, 4 or more implants can be placed per arch to support a total fixed prosthesis, when this is the solution indicated after clinical assessment.
Digital planning and laboratory with a focus on detail
The quality of a fixed prosthesis depends on several stages: diagnosis, surgery, planning, smile design, photography, scans, materials, laboratory and maintenance.
At the Hugo Madeira Clinic, the clinical team works together with the laboratory to create a solution tailored to your case.
What makes planning important?
- Digital case planning
- Smile photography and drawing
- Scans and molds for maximum precision
- Prosthetic laboratory as a critical part of the result
Technology doesn’t exist to impress.
It exists to see better, plan better and care better.
What can you get in your evaluation?
After the assessment, the team will be able to explain it to you:
- Whether fixed prostheses are right for you;
- Whether implants are needed;
- How many implants can be recommended;
- If there is enough bone;
- Whether additional tests are necessary;
- Whether there could be a provisional phase;
- What are the likely stages of treatment?
- Estimated duration;
- Planned investment;
- Possible alternatives;
- Necessary maintenance.
Results that reflect confidence
Each experience begins with attention to detail, listening and personalized care. Our patients’ opinions reflect an approach focused on trust, closeness and excellence at every stage.
Our clinical cases reflect this approach: technical precision, personalization and a vision that goes beyond the smile.
Each case is unique. The results depend on the individual assessment, clinical condition, oral health, bone base, defined plan and maintenance.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions answered.
What is a fixed prosthesis?
Fixed prosthesis is an oral rehabilitation solution that replaces missing teeth with a fixed structure, often supported by dental implants.
It can be indicated in cases of extensive or total tooth loss, always after clinical assessment.
What is the difference between fixed and removable prostheses?
The removable prosthesis is removed by the patient. The fixed prosthesis is designed to remain fixed in the mouth, offering greater stability and comfort in many cases.
The best option always depends on the individual assessment.
What if I don't have enough bone?
In some cases, it may be necessary to evaluate additional procedures or treatment alternatives.
Clinical assessment and imaging tests help to determine whether there is enough bone and the most appropriate approach.
How long does the treatment take?
The duration depends on the complexity of the case, the need for extractions, implants, healing, the provisional phase and the production of the definitive prosthesis.
In the assessment, the team explains the likely phases and the estimated time.
Can I chew normally with a fixed prosthesis?
Fixed prostheses can help restore masticatory function and stability when indicated and well planned.
Adaptation varies from person to person and requires clinical monitoring.
I'm afraid of the dentist. Is this assessment right for me?
Yes. The first assessment is also a time to listen to your fears, explain the process and build a plan calmly.
At the Hugo Madeira Clinic, the first treatment is listening.
How much does a fixed prosthesis cost?
The investment depends on the number of implants, examinations, provisional phase, materials, clinical complexity and type of rehabilitation.
After evaluation, you will receive a personalized proposal with phases, investment and payment options.
I have old treatments. Can I have an assessment?
Yes. The assessment is indicated for patients with old treatments, removable prostheses, compromised teeth or rehabilitations that need to be reviewed.
Who will assess my case?
The assessment is carried out by Clínica Hugo Madeira’s clinical team. In complex cases, the plan can be discussed by a multidisciplinary team.
Are fixed prostheses suitable for all cases?
No. The indication depends on the patient’s oral health, bone condition, gums, bite, habits, general health and goals.
The evaluation serves precisely to understand whether this is the most appropriate solution or whether there are better alternatives.
Will I need implants?
In most cases of total fixed prosthesis, implants are needed to support the structure.
The number of implants depends on the assessment of the mouth, bone, bite, oral health and the plan defined.
Will I lose my teeth during treatment?
In many cases, there may be a temporary phase so that the patient has teeth while the healing and planning of the definitive prosthesis takes place.
The possibility of a temporary solution depends on the clinical case.
Do fixed prostheses look natural?
The aim is to create a functional and aesthetic solution, adapted to the patient’s face, bite and needs.
The result depends on planning, materials, laboratory, oral health and maintenance.
Does the treatment hurt?
The treatment is carried out under anesthesia and properly planned to maximize comfort.
The experience varies from person to person, and the team will explain all the precautions before and after each stage.
Do fixed prostheses require maintenance?
Yes. Maintenance is essential to preserve the health of the implants, gums, prosthesis and the stability of the result.
Professional oral hygiene appointments, biofilm control and regular check-ups may be recommended.
Can I pay in stages?
Depending on the plan defined, there may be options for phased payment. The team will explain the possibilities after evaluation.
Does the evaluation oblige you to proceed with treatment?
No. The assessment serves to understand the case, clarify options and present a plan. The decision is always the patient’s.
Are fixed prostheses a permanent solution?
Fixed prostheses are a long-term solution, but there is no need for maintenance. Like any treatment, its durability depends on oral health, hygiene, habits, follow-up and clinical reviews.
