A dental prosthesis is a structure designed to measure to replace missing teeth and restore the anatomy of your mouth. It is not just an aesthetic solution; it is essential for chewing properly, speaking without difficulty and keeping your remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Thanks to today’s digital technology, the materials are highly resistant, biocompatible and aesthetically identical to natural teeth.
Dental Prostheses We Offer in Palma de Mallorca
No two mouths are the same. That is why at Salud Dental HJC we assess your case individually, so we can offer you the option that best suits your needs.
1. Fixed Dental Prostheses
These are permanent structures that the patient cannot remove. They offer maximum comfort, stability and confidence when chewing.
- Dental crowns (caps): They protect and cover a damaged or weakened tooth (for example, after a root canal).
- Dental bridges: They replace one or several missing teeth, resting on the healthy teeth next to them.
- Implant-supported prostheses: Crowns or full arches screwed directly onto titanium implants, giving you the closest feel to having natural teeth.
2. Removable Dental Prostheses
Commonly known as “false teeth”. You can put them in and take them out yourself to keep up with your daily cleaning.
- Partial dentures: Ideal if you still have some natural teeth to anchor them to. They are held in place on your healthy teeth with discreet clasps and are easy to remove for cleaning.
- Complete dentures: Designed for patients who have lost all their teeth in one or both arches. A fast, affordable way to replace a full set of teeth.

Book appointmentFrequently Asked Questions About Dental Prostheses
Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often.
What is the difference between a fixed and a removable dental prosthesis?
A fixed prosthesis is anchored to implants or natural teeth and cannot be removed, which gives you maximum stability. A removable prosthesis can be taken out by the patient for daily cleaning.
What are resin dental prostheses, and what are they made of?
Resin dental prostheses are made from high-strength acrylic polymers that match the colour of your gums and teeth, giving you a light, natural-looking result and a quick adjustment period.
How long does it take to get used to a new dental prosthesis?
The adjustment period usually lasts between 2 and 4 weeks. A little soreness when you speak or eat over the first few days is perfectly normal, and it fades as the muscles of your mouth get used to the prosthesis.
Can I eat normally with a dental prosthesis?
Yes, though we recommend easing into it. At the start it is better to stick to soft foods cut into small pieces. Over time, with a well-fitting prosthesis, you will be able to return to your usual diet.
How should I clean and care for a dental prosthesis?
Brush it daily after every meal with a denture brush and mild soap (avoid ordinary toothpaste, as it scratches the surface). Overnight, it is best to soak it in water with effervescent cleaning tablets.
How many years does a dental prosthesis last?
A well-maintained dental prosthesis lasts between 5 and 10 years. Over time the bone in your mouth changes, so the prosthesis may need a reline or start to fit loosely, which is why yearly check-ups are essential.
How much does a full-mouth fixed prosthesis on implants cost?
The price of a complete fixed prosthesis (full arch) depends on how many implants are needed (usually between 4 and 6) and on the material you choose (zirconia, ceramic or composite resin). After a free X-ray assessment, we give you a fixed quote with financing options tailored to you.
How long does it take to fit a fixed prosthesis on implants?
The full process usually takes between 3 and 6 months, mainly because of osseointegration time (the period the bone needs to fuse with the implant). That said, thanks to the immediate loading technique, in many cases we can fit a temporary fixed prosthesis on the same day as the surgery, so you never spend a single day without teeth.
Which is better: a fixed prosthesis in zirconia or in metal-ceramic?
Zirconia offers the highest level of aesthetics and biocompatibility, because it mimics the natural translucency of a tooth and never develops dark margins over time. Metal-ceramic is an excellent option — very strong and thoroughly proven — but slightly less natural-looking on front teeth.
What is an immediate-load fixed prosthesis on implants?
It is an advanced treatment that allows the dental implants and a temporary fixed prosthesis to be placed in under 24 hours (usually on the day of the surgery). The patient therefore regains the look of their smile and basic chewing function right away, without waiting the months the implant needs to heal.
What are the advantages of immediate loading over traditional treatment?
The main benefit is psychological and cosmetic: you never spend a single day without teeth. The temporary prosthesis also protects the surgical area, helps shape the gum so it suits the final prosthesis, and reduces the impact of post-operative inflammation, so you feel comfortable sooner.
Are all patients suitable for same-day teeth?
Most patients are, but one condition is essential: there must be enough bone, of sufficient quality, in the upper jaw to secure the implant’s initial stability (mechanical anchorage). At our clinic we carry out a preliminary X-ray study using 3D CT to assess whether immediate loading is viable in your case.
