Dentessa – Your dental practice
Dental prosthetics
In our office, we do complete preparation for prosthetic rehabilitation (extraction of teeth, fillings, treatment of teeth and periodontium).
Prosthetics
Mobile prosthetics include prostheses (elastic thermosensitive, metal and acrylate) and combined mobile fixed works.
Fixed prosthetics include metal ceramic crowns, metal-free zircon ceramic crowns and bridges, and veneers.
The frequency of tooth loss or greater destruction of the dental crown, despite all preventive measures, is high in our population.
Prosthetics deals with the replacement of part of the teeth, one, more or all teeth in the jaw.
Mobile prosthetics
Mobile prosthetics means a solution to loss with mobile prostheses, which can be complete, when all teeth are missing, or partial, to compensate for individual teeth.
Prostheses can be made of different materials, depending on the indication.
Acrylate or plastic prostheses, with or without wire hooks, are still our reality today. Social prostheses.
A better option are prostheses made of elastic and thermosensitive materials, which are cast under high pressure and do not cause allergic reactions. At the same time, they behave sensitively in the mouth to tissue pressure, so they blister less and patients get used to them better. Instead of wire, the same gum-colored or semi-transparent material is used for the clips, so such clips are less noticeable than wire or metal and fit elastically on the tooth (ground or not).
Good, classic works are usually a combination of mobile and fixed work. It means prostheses that lie down and are attached with hooks or auxiliary means to the patient’s ground and crowned teeth.
Such works are solid and long-lasting and have a good price-quality ratio. Considering how many elements are installed and what their quality is, the price of such work also depends.
Fixed prosthetics
Fixed prosthodontics deals with bridges, crowns, root extensions and veneers (pieces of teeth that usually replace the front facets of teeth for better aesthetics).
If there is a possibility for a bridge, it is always a better option than a mobile prosthesis, because the bridge and crowns are perceived as one’s own teeth.
The materials are metal ceramic, zircon ceramic or full ceramic in the case of veneers.
METAL CERAMIC
is an aesthetically satisfying material, resistant and able to bridge larger distances between the teeth of the bridge support. Mainly in cooperation with our laboratory, metal is made digitally, using the Cad Cam technique. The model of the ground teeth is digitally scanned, digitally designed in a computer and printed or milled in a special 3D machine.
Such metal has a better fit on models and teeth, the works are more precise and after a trial in the mouth, the process of making ceramics on metal can begin. That part of the job is still not digital, because the hand of an experienced dental technician with a brush is a bit of an art.
ZIRKON KERAMIKA
is also ceramics but at a higher level. Zircon is not a metal, but it is harder than metal, and its color is in all shades of tooth color. It is a foundation for high aesthetics where there are no problems with metal oxidation and the dark edge of the crown when receding the gums. Ideal for bridges and crowns in the front. The price is up to 35 percent higher than the price of metal ceramics, so you should decide based on your possibilities and wishes.
“Veneers”,
popularly advertised by our Hollywood colleagues, were created due to the constant search for a replacement of an idealized tooth and dental arch as identical as possible. Veneers are just that, thin ceramic shells that beautifully restore the old shine to discolored, but relatively healthy teeth. They are also a way of thinking about how it is necessary to preserve as much of the healthy structure of the tooth tissue as possible, so we have “non-prep” veneers (without grinding) and those with minimal grinding. It all depends on what we want to achieve, change the size, shape and color of the teeth or just one of them. Veneers belong to aesthetic dentistry and their manufacture and placement is a meticulous job. They deserve every penny, and the patient still has his own teeth, but beautified, improved and strengthened.
PROSTHETICS , whether mobile or fixed, occurs only after good preparation of the “field”.
Everything in the mouth must be defined; wounds after tooth extraction that could not be saved must heal. This takes the most time and is individual for each patient. From 15 days to a couple of months for some larger extractions.
All teeth must be cured, caries repaired, standing fillings replaced.
The work that precedes the prosthetic work, these restorations are the lion’s share of the work of every dental office. You should respect that work and trust your therapist.
