Tooth loss is a problem that makes our lives difficult considering not only functionally but also aesthetically. One of the most effective solutions for tooth loss that causes problems such as not only difficulty chewing, or speaking but also lack of self-confidence is definitely a prosthetic dental treatment.
As Galatadent , we offer the highest levels of service in prosthetic dental treatment with our expert staff and modern technology. By providing our patients with special solutions for each individual’s oral and dental structure, we help restore the functions and aesthetics of lost teeth.
What is Prosthodontic Treatment?
Prosthetic dental treatment is a dental treatment method performed to replace missing teeth or broken teeth . Loss of natural teeth can occur for a variety of reasons, including accidents, cavities, gum disease or congenital deficiencies. Dentures are designed to restore the functions and aesthetics of lost teeth. This treatment allows patients to perform daily activities such as eating, speaking and laughing more comfortably and confidentially.
What are the Types of Prosthetic Dental Treatment?
Prosthetic dental treatment offers a variety of methods to replace missing teeth and improve oral functions.
These treatments are customized based on patients’ needs and oral health conditions. The most common types of prosthetic dental treatment are:
- Fixed Prostheses
- Crowns (Veneers): These are fixed prostheses that cover damaged or excessively worn teeth, improving their form, size and function. It can be made of porcelain, ceramic, metal or combinations of these materials.
- Bridges: They are fixed structures that receive support from adjacent healthy teeth and fill the gap between them to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges can also be made from a variety of materials.
Removable Prostheses
- Complete Dentures (Dense Teeth): Used in cases where all the upper or lower teeth in the mouth are missing. They are removable and are usually made from acrylic-based materials.
- Partial Dentures: In cases where several teeth are missing, they are held in place as support for the remaining teeth or through attachable hooks. They can be metal-framed or entirely acrylic.
Implant Supported Prostheses
- Fixed Bridges on Implants: Fixed bridges supported using dental implants offer a permanent solution to replace missing teeth.
- Implant-Supported Removable Dentures: Full or partial dentures are seated on a series of implants, providing greater stability and comfort. This method is especially preferred in cases requiring full dentures.
Temporary Prostheses
- Temporary (Interim) Prostheses: These are the prostheses that are preferred during the preparation of permanent prostheses and are generally used for short periods of time. These prostheses are designed to maintain aesthetic appearance and support functions.
Special Prostheses
- Overdenture: These are removable dentures designed to cover some of the natural teeth or implants underneath. These dentures fit over existing teeth or implants and provide extra stability.
Each type of prosthesis is selected based on factors such as the patient’s oral health, location of missing teeth, aesthetic expectations and budget. A detailed evaluation and consultation process with a dentist or prosthodontist is important for good treatment planning. This process allows the determination of the treatment method best suited to the patient’s needs.
