Prosthodontic transformation of a Patient at Malo Clinic – aesthetic smile reconstruction.
Prosthodontic transformation of a Patient at Malo Clinic – aesthetic smile reconstruction.
Today, we present the results of the work of prosthodontics specialist Dr Martyna Gałek.
At Malo Clinic, treatment begins with a consultation appointment, during which the doctor plans the full treatment and presents options tailored to the patient's needs and expectations. Based on the treatment plan, the treatment coordinator creates a cost estimate. View our price list Prosthodontic treatment is an essential element in improving the functionality and aesthetics of a smile. Prosthodontic dental restoration using crowns and bonding is an effective and popular solution that allows restoring a beautiful and functional smile to individuals with damaged or missing teeth. Before starting the treatment planning, a visit to a dental hygienist was required, who cleaned the teeth of tartar and plaque deposits. Prosthodontic restorations in the form of crowns were performed for the patient in the upper arch. In the posterior sections, implants were placed, on which prosthodontic crowns were crafted to replace missing teeth. In the anterior section of the lower arch, bonding was performed; full bite reconstruction restored proper occlusal contacts in the oral cavity and eliminated overloads due to which patients often "wear away their teeth" by grinding them during clenching, bruxism, and chewing movements.
What are ceramic crowns?
Crowns are custom-made, durable caps placed over existing teeth or dental implants in Warsaw. Crowns are used for damaged teeth that cannot be effectively restored with fillings. Crowns and veneers are made of durable materials, such as porcelain or ceramic, which ensures their longevity and resistance to daily wear and tear. In addition, they are tailored in consultation with the doctor to meet the patient's aesthetic expectations, allowing them to achieve their desired tooth colour, shape, and size!
What is the difference between crowns and veneers?
Many people often confuse crowns and veneers; however, during the visit, the doctor will assess which solution is best for the Patient.
A crown is a custom-made cap placed over an existing tooth or implant. Crowns are primarily used for damaged or weakened teeth that cannot be effectively repaired with traditional fillings. A crown perfectly replicates the shape and function of a natural tooth, providing durable support and protection for the weakened tooth structure.
A veneer is a thin shell that is permanently bonded to the front surface of a tooth to improve the aesthetics of the smile. Veneers are primarily used to alter the shape, size, colour, or to eliminate unwanted flaws, such as discolouration, unevenness, or small gaps between teeth. They are made from a thin layer of porcelain or ceramic, which is durable, stain-resistant, and closely mimics the natural appearance of a tooth. The veneer procedure requires minimal tooth preparation, and once the veneer is bonded, the patient achieves an immediate result in the form of a beautiful smile.
Prosthetic reconstruction not only restores the aesthetics of the smile, but also improves chewing function, which has a positive impact on overall oral health. Patients who have undergone tooth restoration using this method can enjoy a complete and healthy smile for many years.
What is bonding?
Bonding, also known as composite bonding, is a dental technique that uses a special composite material to repair tooth defects or improve their appearance. It is a popular and relatively affordable method that can be used in a variety of cases. The bonding procedure involves applying composite, a malleable resin-like material, to the surface of the tooth. The composite is available in various shades, allowing it to be matched to the natural colour of the patient's teeth. Before starting the procedure, the tooth is properly prepared, and then the composite is applied to its surface. The dentist meticulously models and shapes the composite to achieve the desired shape, size, and aesthetics.
The Patient's smile makeover is stunning!
