Types of Dental Prosthetics

Aesthetic dental restorations help keep your teeth healthy and give your smile exceptional beauty. Prosthodontics and dental orthopedics make it possible to artificially restore all functions of the dental arch.

At our dental clinic, only highly qualified specialists work with an individual approach, state-of-the-art equipment, and durable materials. This allows us to solve any dental problem and provide dental treatment at the highest level.

Types of Dental Prosthetics

The most popular types of dental restorations include:

• Ceramic Veneers – Thin shells placed on front teeth, most often used to correct tooth color and shape. Their main advantage is that natural teeth remain intact and nerves do not need to be removed.
• Crowns – “Caps” that cover the visible part of a tooth above the gum line and are fixed with special dental cement. In many cases, crowns are the only way to extend the life of a natural tooth.
• Dental Bridges
  Fixed prosthetic structures attached to adjacent teeth using crowns, posts, or inlays. They can be made from the same materials as crowns.
• Clasp Dentures – Removable dentures used when bridges or implants are not suitable due to medical or anatomical reasons. These constructions feature a one-piece metal framework.
• Zirconia Crowns – Used when natural teeth are damaged, improperly shaped, in cases of congenital enamel defects, or when other types of prosthetics cannot be applied.
• Removable Acrylic Dentures – One of the most affordable dental prosthetic options. Suitable for both partial and complete tooth loss. They can be used at any age and closely resemble natural teeth in color.

Materials Used:

1. Metal-Ceramic Restorations: A metal framework covered with ceramic. Strong and suitable for both front and chewing teeth. Over time, slight gum darkening may occur due to long-term contact with metal.
2. All-Ceramic Restorations: Perfectly imitate the natural aesthetics of teeth and have a lighter, more natural structure.

How Long Does Dental Prosthetic Treatment Take?
The production of permanent dental prosthetics may take several weeks to a few months. During this period, temporary restorations are usually provided. Final decisions regarding the type of prosthetic solution are always made by the dentist after professional examination and diagnostics.
