Prosthetic dentistry

Prosthetic dentistry is a specialty within dental medicine that focuses on restoring the function, aesthetics, and health of teeth and the oral cavity through the use of artificial structures.

It encompasses a wide range of treatments aimed at patients with partial or complete tooth loss, dental or jaw damage, and those seeking to improve chewing function or the aesthetics of their smile.

Key Goals of Prosthetic Dentistry:

  • Functional Restoration – Enhancing the ability to chew, speak, and ensure the normal functioning of the mouth.
  • Aesthetic Restoration – Recreating the natural appearance of teeth and the smile.
  • Oral Health Preservation – Preventing further damage and maintaining a healthy oral environment.
  • Rehabilitation of Oral Function – Improving pronunciation and speech clarity, often affected by missing teeth or poorly functioning prosthetics.
  • Protection of Remaining Teeth – Supporting proper distribution of chewing pressure and preventing excessive wear or displacement of adjacent teeth.
  • Long-Term Solutions for Tooth Loss – Prosthetic constructions, especially implant-supported ones, offer durable and reliable solutions, reducing the need for frequent adjustments or replacements.
  • Bite Correction – Improving occlusion and balance between the upper and lower jaw, which can help reduce issues like bruxism (teeth grinding) or temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

Types of Prosthetic Solutions:

  • Fixed Prosthetics:
    • Crowns, bridges, and veneers permanently attached to teeth or implants.
  • Removable Prosthetics:
    • Partial or full dentures that can be removed and reinserted by the patient.
  • Implant-Supported Prosthetics:
    • Implant-based dental prosthetics offering stability and longevity.

Prosthetic dentistry combines modern technologies, such as digital modeling and 3D milling, with an individualized approach to meet each patient’s unique needs. This ensures optimal results in both aesthetics and functionality.
