Dental Prosthetics deals with the replacement of missing teeth by fixed or movable prostheses. Lately, with the development of implantology and aesthetics, dental patients prefer fixed prostheses due to their superior aesthetic appearance and improved comfort as well as their functionality which is similar to the one featured by natural teeth.
Why is it necessary to replace a missing tooth?
- After eruption, the teeth seem fixed, immobile but in reality they retain their potential to move. This potential is “reactivated” once the removal of a tooth from the arch and the appearance of an area occur and the teeth tend to close that space by migrating towards it.
- This way, the teeth that are adjacent to the empty space lean towards it and the teeth from the opposite jaw begin to “erupt” onto the empty space. The bone in the lost teeth is reabsorbed, making any further treatment more difficult to be done.
5 reasons for replacing missing teeth:
- The space without teeth is reduced but not totally closed thus increasing the difficulty of the treatment. The sooner a tooth is replaced, the better the result of the prosthesis is.
- Spaces between the teeth that have remained on the arch appear and food settles in these spaces, resulting in gingival and periodontal illness.
- The teeth of the opposite jaw and in the empty space start to erupt, destroying the harmony of the opposing arch.
- Due to this migration, the teeth do not engage with each other as before, ‘ the bite’ changes while potentially leading to the dysfunction of the masticatory muscles and of the mandibular joint.
- Besides these scientific details, a missing tooth will also affect you through the reduction of the chewing surface and the presence of an empty space which is sometimes noticeable and unaesthetic.
- Dental Crown Clinic supports you by making the entire range of dentures available. Among these, easily noticeable are the metalo- ceramic fixed prostheses and the fixed prostheses on zirconia support, on natural teeth or on implants (see the”Oral Implantology” + LINK section).
- Fixed prostheses are those that restore the utmost appearance and function of the teeth, giving the illusion of a natural environment and the highest degree of comfort.
- The superior technical execution and the used materials from USA and Germany ensure a good timely durability of the prostheses and the experience of the doctor-dental technician team leads to the optimal restoration of aesthetics and functionality.
- At the end of the treatment our patients leave smiling, confident and happy.
- NEW! So as to support the mobile prosthetic bearing patients, we come up with a new solution that becomes increasingly widespread namely the mobile prosthesis implants.
- This method is used when the prosthesis is no longer stable due to bone atrophy, making it hard to wear and use. In this case, a small number of implants between 2 and 4 is inserted in areas where there is still bone tender.
- After the osseo-integration of the implants, small caps are mounted on them and the prosthesis will also contain staples so as to be placed on the implants. The result will feature a more comfortable denture for the wearer which will provide a much better quality of life and security.
Smile, please!
