Dental prostheses are removable or fixed prosthetics used to replace lost or deformed teeth for various reasons. They provide the closest sensation and appearance to natural teeth in terms of aesthetics and function.
What is a Dental Prosthesis?
Dental prostheses are artificial teeth designed to replace lost teeth or for aesthetic reasons. A dental prosthesis can be used to replace one or several missing teeth, or it can be used to replace all teeth. The prosthesis is produced in a shade that matches the patient’s skin and tooth color to achieve a natural appearance. Throughout this process, preserving the patient’s existing teeth is a priority. The primary goal of treatment is to restore the missing chewing function, aesthetics, and quality of life, and to eliminate psychological effects.
How is a Dental Prosthesis Made?
The dental prosthesis process is carried out in several stages:
Assessment and Planning: Our dentists assess your oral and jaw structure to determine the most suitable type of prosthesis for you.
Preparation and Impressions: Once the prosthetic preparations are completed, impressions of the mouth are taken and sent to the laboratory where the prostheses will be made.
Trial and Fit: The prepared prostheses are trialed in your mouth, and necessary adjustments are made.
Placement: The adjusted prostheses are placed into the mouth as either fixed or removable.
Who is Suitable for a Dental Prosthesis?
Dental prostheses are suitable for individuals who have lost teeth for various reasons. Full prostheses offer an ideal solution for those who have lost all their teeth, while partial prostheses are used when only a few teeth are missing. The use of dental prostheses is appropriate for individuals with good oral health and overall health.
What are the Advantages of Dental Prosthesis Treatment?
Dental prostheses improve chewing function and speech by replacing missing teeth. They also provide the most natural appearance closest to real teeth. Additionally, prostheses can be made removable or fixed, offering ease of use and comfort.
