Dental prosthetics
A field of dentistry dealing with the reconstruction of missing teeth and the restoration of function, aesthetics, and the comfort of a smile.
About the Prosthodontics specialisation
Prosthodontics is a field of dentistry that enables the reconstruction of damaged teeth or the replacement of missing ones, restoring function, health and aesthetics by means of dental prostheses. Missing teeth can be replaced using fixed or removable dentures, attached either to the patient's own teeth or to implants.
Working closely with other fields, such as oral surgery, implantology, endodontics, conservative dentistry, orthodontics or periodontics, prosthodontics is responsible for restoring the proper functions of the oral cavity. This is achieved by reconstructing and repairing damaged teeth using dental crowns or by placing dentures (single, partial or complete) to fill in missing teeth.
Prosthetic solutions – which one is best for you?
Each clinical case is different, which is why dental prosthetics offers solutions tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
Benefits of dental prosthetics for oral health
Restoration of chewing function:
Dentures are designed to replace missing or damaged teeth, allowing patients to chew food properly. This not only improves the ability to enjoy a fully nutritious diet, but also aids digestion and benefits overall digestive health.
Restoration of correct speech:
Missing teeth can affect speech, causing difficulties in pronouncing certain sounds. Dentures help restore clear speech, which improves communication and facilitates social interactions.
Relief from pain and discomfort:
In patients with damaged or missing teeth, dental prostheses can help relieve pain and discomfort associated with chewing, speech and the abnormal shifting of remaining teeth.
Preservation of facial structure:
Tooth loss can lead to bone loss (resorptive shrinkage) and reduced support for facial tissues, which often results in changes to appearance, such as the emergence of wrinkles or sagging of the lips. Properly designed dentures help preserve the facial structure and maintain a more youthful appearance.
Aesthetic improvement:
Dentures can restore the natural appearance of a smile, improving patients' self-esteem and confidence. This is particularly important for individuals who struggle with aesthetic issues due to missing, discoloured, or damaged teeth.
Prevention of oral cavity problems:
Replacing missing or damaged teeth can help prevent many dental problems, such as the shifting of adjacent teeth, tilting of teeth neighboring the gap, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and bone loss.
