Prosthodontic Dentistry
 Prosthodontic
Dentistry, or Prosthetic Dentistry, is concerned with treating
missing teeth or treating existing teeth that have significant
damage. The Prosthodontist deal with congenital defects as
well as problems arising from trauma and neglect. The Prosthodontist
can aid in the rehabilitation of a complete dentition or merely
in the replacement of one or two teeth.
There are different ways to replace missing
teeth, such as bridges or partial dentures. Bridges
and Dentures
may be fixed or removable.
At our dental clinic, we utilize IPS Empress
porcelain, amongst other conventional materials, for natural
looking teeth. Our dental center provides the full range of
dental treatments services for bridges/crowns, complete or
partial dentures and dental implants.
Benefits of Prosthetics
The benefits of fixing missing teeth using dentures and bridges
include:
- Prevents exisiting teeth from drifting
into surrounding space of the missing teeth
- Teeth out of position can damage tissues
in the mouth
- The difficulty of thorough cleaning between
crooked teeth runs the risk of tooth decay and periodontal
(gum) disease that can lead to the loss of additional teeth.
- Improves out your smile
- Helps to properly chew food
- May improve speech
- Prevent a sagging face by providing support
for lips and cheeks
