(Replacement of missing teeth with crowns, bridges and dentures)
Prosthetic Dentistry deals with the construction, production, and insertion of artificial replacements for lost teeth and the surrounding soft or hard tissues. Loss of a tooth not only impacts your smile, but also impacts your capacity to chew, pronounce words clearly and even hold the other teeth in proper position. Prosthetics are the key to regaining the appearance, functionality, and aesthetics of your mouth. Such solutions, as crowns, bridges, and dentures, are made to be entirely fitting, avoid collapse of the bite and allow you to eat and smile with a free conscience.
Prosthetic dentistry offers a wide variety of options, including fixed (non-removable) and removable appliances, based on the amount of missing teeth and your overall oral health.
| No | Prosthetic Solution | What It Is | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dental Crowns | Custom-made "caps" that cover and restore the entire visible portion of a tooth. | Severely damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth (often used after Root Canal Treatment). |
| 2 | Dental Bridges | A fixed appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap between them. | Missing teeth when there are healthy, natural teeth or implants on either side to anchor the bridge. |
| 3 | Complete Dentures | Complete set of removable false teeth designed to replace all teeth in an arch (upper or lower). | Patients who have lost all of their natural teeth. |
| 4 | Partial Dentures | Removable appliance that replaces only some missing teeth; held in place by clasps or precision attachments. | Patients with multiple missing teeth but still retaining some healthy natural teeth. |
