Dental prosthetics

Dental prosthetics is one of the branches of dentistry that deals with the restoration of lost teeth using various techniques, materials and restorations.

Two major branches of dental prosthetics are: mobile prosthetics and fixed prosthetics. Within the framework of mobile prosthetics, various types of prostheses are made that the patient can remove himself. While fixed prosthetic works mean crowns and bridges fixed to teeth or implants.

The production of prosthetic restorations compensates for the function of the oral apparatus, which is lost or impaired by tooth loss. Also, it is very important to note that prosthetic restorations can have highly aesthetic characteristics, which is an increasingly common reason today when patients decide to make them.

The development of dental prosthetics offers numerous possibilities, so a solution can be easily found for each patient, depending on the individual situation.

Zirconium crowns or bridges are a more modern solution than metal-ceramic ones, because zirconium is used instead of metal to support the crown. Zirconium is one of the hardest materials and is primarily used in space technology. It is completely biocompatible with the organism, so zirconium crowns do not cause any kind of allergic reactions. In the process of making zirconium ceramic crowns, modern technology is used, which includes computer scanning of prints and micron precision during making. Zirconium crowns can be made on teeth, but also on implants.

When it comes to crowns, metal ceramics have always been at the forefront of the history of dentistry. Metal-ceramic crowns, as the word itself says, basically have metal, and layers of ceramics are applied over them. Metal ceramics are durable, so they are a suitable material for reshaping shapes, but also for bringing the color in harmony with the rest of the dentition. They are added to the greater prevalence by the fact that they are older and that they are much more often chosen as the default value. Most crowns of this type serve as a functional tooth, but they also fit aesthetically into existing teeth. And they can be made on both teeth and implants.

Luminaires are aesthetic prosthetic restorations, which are made of Feldspar ceramics, in order to correct the shape, length and color of the teeth.

They are characterized by the fact that they are very thin and transparent, with the closest aesthetic characteristics to tooth enamel. Their biggest advantage is that it is absolutely not necessary for them to grind their teeth or they grind minimally.

They allow us to improve the color of the teeth by two to three shades, and everything that patients would like brighter over it, requires the production of ceramic veneers, which have an advantage when it comes to greater correction of tooth color.

Veneers, or better known as ceramic veneers, are prosthetic restorations that we use for the purpose of correction, color, shape, dimensions of teeth. We can correct the color with them, practically to the shade we want, with very minimal removal of tooth substance.

Practical grinding of teeth is performed only from their front-aesthetic side and they are indicated in the aesthetic region of the upper and lower jaw. By using modern adhesive cements, the durability of veneers and their functionality are significantly improved.

A total denture is a prosthetic replacement that is made in toothless patients, ie in situations when there are no teeth in the jaw. The total denture rests on the gums, covers the alveolar ridge and compensates for lost teeth. These restorations are usually made of acrylate, and teeth made of the same material are also placed on them.

A partial denture is a prosthetic restoration that compensates for lost teeth, and is fixed to the remaining teeth with a hook. This is the main difference when it comes to partial and total dentures. It is used as a compensation for toothless patients. The partial denture rests on the gums, covers the alveolar ridge and compensates for lost teeth. All dentures are made as mobile, which means that they can and must be removed from the mouth primarily for proper oral hygiene.

Total dentures on implants are the therapy of choice for toothless patients who have difficulty stabilizing their dentures, a problem with chewing, who are disgusted with dentures, and simply cannot and should not be without them. This combination ensures that the prosthesis in the lower jaw does not walk, gives security in chewing food, but also in aesthetics. Implant prostheses are becoming an increasingly common choice of our patients.
