Prosthetics is a branch of dentistry whose task is to take care of restoring teeth and replacing missing teeth.

CERAMIC RESTORATION

Veneers, crowns, inlays and onlays are used to restore individual teeth. These types of restorations can solve most problems, including tooth discoloration, loss of tooth tissue due to carious damage, fractures, cracks, and wear.

Ceramic, metal-ceramic, metal or zirconium crowns are a type of dental prosthesis that restores the functionality and appearance of damaged teeth. With proper care, crowns can last 10 years or more. Modern trends are to make crowns in the color of the teeth so that they resemble the appearance of natural teeth. Aesthetics and strength for the lateral teeth are best provided by zirconium crowns.

BRIDGES

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge can be supported on existing teeth or on implants. A dental bridge is often used as a replacement for a removable partial denture.

PROSTHESIS

Removable total dentures are intended for people who have lost all their teeth due to trauma, carious damage or gum disease. In addition to a more attractive appearance, full dentures also provide better chewing ability, which is an integral part of overall health. It is important to note that it may take time to adjust to removable full dentures. For example, mouth ulcers can occur if dentures rub and press on mucous membranes. You may need to visit your prosthodontist to adjust your dentures from time to time. These adjustments should fix any problems. Although there are disadvantages to dentures, most people prefer dentures to a life without teeth.

Removable partial dentures are designed for people who are missing one or more teeth. Most patients prefer dental bridges or implants to replace one or two teeth. However, if there is a lack of support points, to which to attach fixed prostheses or there is no ability to perform tooth implantation, Removable partial dentures are a quick way to non-invasively replace missing teeth.

CEMETERY

In addition to the above-mentioned types of prosthetics, custom-made braces can improve joint functional disorders (TMDJS), snoring disorders, bruxism.
