Prosthodontic Dentistry
Prosthodontic dentistry is the department of dentistry that aims to restore the lost teeth and the oral tissues to the patient.
Loss of teeth and surrounding tissues will cause loss of aesthetic, functional, phonetics and morale. For this reason, these losses should be treated with prosthetics.
Dental prostheses can be basically classified as fixed prostheses, mobile prostheses and implant prostheses.
Fixed dentures are prostheses that are made by supporting the existing teeth and fixed by sticking to these teeth.
They are called fixed prostheses because they can not be removed by the patient.
Fixed dentures are made of metal-based or metal-free porcelain.
Coverings made on single teeth or bridge prostheses made by minimizing adjacent teeth to complement missing teeth.
Dental Bridge
Dental bridges, like implants and partial dentures, are used to replace missing teeth. There are several types of fixed dental bridges (cannot be removed), including conventional fixed, cantilever and resin-bonded.
Typically, conventional and cantilever bridges require shaping of the teeth surrounding a missing tooth. Crowns are then placed on the shaped teeth and attached to an artificial tooth (called a pontic).
Dentures
Complete dentures are used to replace missing teeth for people with no remaining teeth. They may also be used for people who have lost several teeth. In this case, the appliance is called a partial or overdenture.
Tooth loss may result from periodontal disease (gum disease), tooth decay, or traumatic injury. It is very important to replace missing teeth. The ill effects of not doing so can be a shift in remaining teeth, an inability to bite and chew properly, as well as a sagging facial appearance, which makes one appear older than they are.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is a removable, yet natural-looking dental appliance that helps restore the form and function of your jaw by replacing one or several missing teeth. Partial dentures are made from a combination of metal and acrylic – which gives them the strength to handle your needs for chewing and speaking, while also looking natural. Some partial dentures are entirely made from acrylic – these dentures tend to be less durable and structurally sound, but may be a solution for you depending on your situation.
Dental Crown
Dentistry is an art as well as a science; dental crowns offer a perfect example of this. A dental crown or “cap” is a covering that fits over a damaged, decayed or unattractive tooth. It can even replace a tooth entirely as part of dental bridgework.
A crown completely covers a tooth above the gum line. This is in contrast to a dental veneer, which only covers a tooth's front surface and needs natural tooth structure to support it. Therefore, if a tooth is missing a significant amount of structure above the gum line, a crown would be the restoration of choice.
All on 4 System
The All on 4 dental implants system makes use of four dental implants that are strategically placed on the anterior part of the jaw, where there is usually better jaw bone structure density. The All on 4 dental implants are angled in such a way that they are positioned to maximise the existing jaw bone structure, so that the need for more complicated procedures (such as bone grafting) can be eliminated.
