Dentures are an important dental treatment used to replace missing teeth and provide a natural smile. Thanks to advances in technology and material options, dentures can have an aesthetically natural appearance and restore chewing function. At our clinic, we offer our patients a variety of denture options to restore their natural and functional smile.
Types of Dental Prostheses
- Fixed Prostheses: Fixed dentures are prostheses that replace teeth and are used when teeth are permanently missing. This category includes bridges and implant-supported crowns. Fixed dentures provide the closest aesthetic and functional results to natural teeth.
- Removable Dentures: Removable dentures are dentures that are used to replace missing teeth and are removable. They can be complete or partial. Removable dentures restore chewing function as well as improve speech and smile aesthetics.
Dental Prosthesis Application Process
- Examination and Planning: The first step is for the dentist to assess the patient’s condition and determine the appropriate prosthetic options. At this stage, the patient’s oral structure, gum condition and chewing function are carefully examined.
- Taking Impressions: In order for the prosthesis to fit correctly, impressions are taken from the patient’s mouth and the prosthesis is designed.
- Prosthesis Application: After the prosthesis is prepared, it is placed in the patient’s mouth and adjusted accordingly. Fixed dentures usually require several visits for fitting, while removable dentures can be completed in a single visit.
- Adjustment and Follow-up: After the prosthesis is fitted, the patient’s comfort and the fit of the prosthesis are checked regularly. If necessary, adjustments or revisions are made to the denture.
Advantages of Dental Prostheses
