Prosthetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that aims to restore lost teeth and surrounding tissues in the mouth to the patient. The loss of teeth and surrounding tissues will cause losses in terms of aesthetics, functionality, phonetics and morale. Therefore, these losses must be compensated by making prostheses. Dental prostheses can be classified as fixed prostheses, removable prostheses and implant-supported prostheses.
Prosthetic teeth, also known as dentures, that fit over the patient's gums and/or remaining teeth and give the patient the appearance of having a full set of teeth are called removable dentures .
Patients who have lost most of their teeth can easily chew food and speak normally thanks to dentures. However, they may not be able to perform the biting function as effectively as those with their natural teeth.
Dental prosthetics are very effective solutions for people who have lost their teeth due to the natural aging process, chronic neglect of oral and dental care, or various traumas. Dentures can be made individually and movably to replace missing teeth. In this way, people with removable dentures, in other words, false teeth, can remove these teeth whenever they want.
Veneers are very thin layers and are attached directly to the front of the tooth like artificial nails. They are used to renew the worn tooth enamel surfaces caused by excessive tooth brushing and to close the gaps between the teeth, the cracked edges of the front teeth or to change the appearance of discolored front teeth that generally do not yield good results with teeth whitening. This method is very popular today.
Porcelain veneers do not break easily and never lose their shine. They look very beautiful and natural after being made by skilled and talented hands. The same as a natural tooth can be made from porcelain, but they all need to be made at the same time because it can be very difficult to match the tone of a single veneer with the existing ones. It is most reliable to have the veneers made at the same time to get the same smile with full color and positional accuracy. The ones added later may not exactly match your smile and the change in porcelain layers or tone may cause the newly installed veneer to look different. Veneer may be used to increase the harmony of slightly changed teeth.
Precision attachment dentures, also known as “snap-on dentures” among the public, are a type of prosthesis preferred in cases where there is a lot of tooth loss and implant treatment cannot be applied. Precision attachment dentures consist of two parts, including both fixed coatings and a removable prosthesis part, and there are retainers that connect these two parts.
The retention and aesthetics of precision attachment dentures are more advantageous compared to traditional removable partial dentures, commonly known as “hook-on dentures”.
Implant application is a method applied to patients with missing teeth or completely missing teeth. This procedure can be easily applied to patients with sufficient dental bone structure. The coating to be applied to the implant can be made of various materials according to the patient's request.
Before starting this procedure, it is determined how many teeth the patient has lost. Then, the jaw structure and jaw bone height are taken into account. It can be applied to a single tooth, but patients with complete tooth loss can also benefit from this application.
If the necessary conditions for implants are met, the application can be started.
The patient chooses one of the removable or fixed implant methods for the implant-supported prosthesis.
