IMPLANTS & PROSTETICS
Prosthesis in dentistry refers to artificial devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. These can include dentures, crowns, bridges, and implants, tailored to fit the patient’s mouth and mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.
IMPLANTS
A dental implant is a surgical fixture placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. It consists of a titanium post that acts as a root and a crown attached to it, restoring both function and appearance. Implants integrate with the bone to provide a stable, long-lasting solution.
CROWNS & BRIDGES
Crowns are caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance. Bridges replace missing teeth with artificial ones anchored to adjacent teeth or implants. Both restore oral function and improve aesthetics, providing a natural look.
REMOVIBLE PROTESIS
Dental removable refers to prosthetic devices that can be taken out of the mouth for cleaning or adjustments. Common examples include dentures, which replace multiple missing teeth, and removable partials, which replace a few missing teeth while attaching to natural teeth for support.
COMPLETE DENTURES
Complete dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. They are custom-made to fit the mouth and restore full oral function and appearance. Made from acrylic resin and from other materials, complete dentures help improve chewing, speech, and facial aesthetics by providing a complete set of artificial teeth.
