Prosthetic teeth

Most of us think of the fake teeth our grandparents wore, took off, and put in water at night when we hear the word "dental prosthesis," right? 

It's not just that...

Prosthodontics

It comes from the words "prosto," which means "to put," and "odonti," which means "teeth." The prosthodontist is a specialist who can help you make changes to your mouth, whether it's just one tooth or all of them.

We share more information now because technology is getting better. Dentists often use treatment methods from more than one field. Your doctor will also check the health of your mouth. This means that the results are much more accurate, of higher quality, and can meet much higher patient expectations.

The prosthodontist on this team acts as a "smile architect" who looks at how the teeth look, how well they work, and how natural they look. But also in terms of the gums, lips, and features of the face. They work with other specialists to plan and carry out all treatments. Maxillofacial surgeon, endodontist (canal treatment specialist). Orthodontist (wire treatment expert) (wire treatment specialist). Team of periodontist (specialist in gums) and technician.

What is a Full Dental Prosthesis (Total Dentures)?

They are traditional ways to replace missing teeth. Soft tissues support them and wrap around the jawbones like a saddle.

How are total prostheses (full dental prostheses) made?

When a person has no teeth, experts choose this procedure. These are artificial limbs that patients take with measuring spoons made just for them. Your doctor will need about a week to adapt the prostheses to your soft tissues. It might take more time. But if your treatment goes on for too long, you will go beyond your ability to adapt. Especially when both the patient and the doctor work together. The amount and density of bone and gums are the only things that can keep these prostheses in the mouth of the patient with the least amount of discomfort.

What are Prostheses with Precision Attachment?

If you only have a few teeth, your doctor will do this. These prostheses are held up by both hard and soft tissues. They fit well and stay in place very well. Prostheses were made to hide the hooks, and they were made to be sensitive and easy to connect. Due to its sensitive connections. People refer to it as the "prosthesis with snaps."

How are prostheses with a precise attachment made?

On the existing teeth, metal-backed porcelain is used. The male parts of sensitive connections are made to be on porcelain that is held up by metal. Then, measurements are taken over these designs to make plans for the parts that move. There are different kinds of sensitive connections on these prostheses. The soft tissue adapts to them much faster than to full dentures. Also, the treatment is finished by choosing the type of connection that works best for the patient. It works very well for temporary prostheses. It is especially suggested for people who are going to use prostheses for the first time.

What are hybrid prostheses for teeth?

They are artificial parts made to go on top of implants. These prosthesis applications, which are chosen based on the planned implant applications and the amount of bone in the patient's mouth, are the most comfortable ways to replace missing teeth.

How are hybrid prostheses for teeth made?

All of your sessions last two weeks. We attach our prostheses (except for implant treatments), which have special screws inside, to the implants of our patients. We also design them so that they can't be taken outside of the clinical environment. They are the most convenient of the removable prostheses and are chosen based on how the bone and mouth are built. They don't move in the mouth unless our doctors take them out. These prostheses give your face a fuller look, bring back the lost vertical dimension, and keep your cheeks and lips from collapsing.

Depending on how sick the patient is, there are some cases that can be finished in 48 hours. With the "all on 4" concept (click here to learn more about the "all on 4" technique), we can place the implants and take your measurements at the same time. We can then put your temporary prosthesis in your mouth. So, we can keep treating our patient without leaving them without teeth.
