Prosthodontics
(Tooth Replacement)
1. Crowns and Bridges
-
Crowns and bridges are intended for adult patients with damaged, broken or missing teeth. A crown fully covers and protects a weakened tooth, while a bridge replaces a missing tooth by filling the gap between remaining teeth.
-
The procedure is performed by a dentist and usually requires 2–3 visits, including tooth preparation, impressions and the placement of the final crown or bridge. These restorations restore chewing function and enhance the appearance of the smile.
How to know if you need this:
-
If you have broken or weakened teeth, gaps between teeth, discomfort when chewing, or you want to improve the appearance and function of your smile.
2. Full and Partial Dentures
-
Full and partial dentures are designed for adults who have lost one or more teeth. A full denture replaces an entire arch of missing teeth, while a partial denture fills the space among existing natural teeth.
-
Dentures improve chewing, speech and aesthetics, and are custom-made for maximum comfort and stability.
How to know if you need this:
-
If you are missing one or more teeth, have difficulty eating or speaking, or wish to improve the appearance and function of your teeth.
3. Implant-Supported Restorations
-
Implant-supported restorations are suitable for patients with one or more missing teeth. A dental implant is placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial root, followed by a crown, bridge or denture fixed on top.
-
This treatment offers long-term stability, restored function and a natural-looking result. The duration of treatment depends on the complexity of the case and the time required for the bone to heal.
How to know if you need this:
-
If you have missing teeth, want a long-lasting solution without preparing neighbouring teeth, have large gaps between remaining teeth, or prefer a natural look and comfort while chewing.
4. Smile Reconstruction
-
Smile reconstruction is a comprehensive functional and aesthetic treatment for patients with multiple damaged or missing teeth. The process typically involves a combination of crowns, bridges, implants, dentures and other restorative procedures to achieve complete harmony of the smile.
-
The treatment is performed by a specialist dentist and individually planned according to the patient’s facial structure and aesthetic goals.
How to know if you need this:
-
If you have several damaged, broken or missing teeth, an uneven smile line, difficulty chewing, or you want a full aesthetic transformation.
5. Bite Adjustment and Chewing Rehabilitation
-
Bite adjustment and chewing rehabilitation are intended for patients with an incorrect bite, jaw problems or uneven pressure on the teeth. The procedure involves correcting tooth contacts, stabilising the jaw and improving chewing function.
-
This specialist treatment helps prevent jaw pain, tooth wear and headaches associated with bite irregularities.
How to know if you need this:
-
If you experience jaw or facial pain, discomfort in the jaw joint, difficulty chewing, frequent teeth grinding, or notice worn-down teeth and an uneven bite.
