Here are the best smiles you have ever seen
Prosthodontics is a dental speciality focused on reconstruction and replacement of missing teeth. A prosthodontist can redesign your smile and can restore function and aesthetics with the help of crowns, veneers, bridges, implants and dentures.
Prosthodontics is the key for any full-mouth rehabilitation cases. Diagnosis, planning and treatment of both esthetic and reconstructive cases often starts and end with a prosthodontist.
Missing teeth or grossly decayed teeth can affect one’s ability to perform normal functions like chewing; they even hamper their confidence. With prosthodontic treatment, we can restore your teeth to their normal oral function, comfort and aesthetics.
Types of Prosthodontic Treatments
Dentures
These are removable appliance worn to replace few or all missing teeth. Dentures are advisable in cases where there is severe bone loss, as the removable dentures, can compensate for the lost bone structure. Having complete dentures improves chewing, speaking, and prevents sagging skin.
Veneers
They are shell-like coverings fixed over natural teeth to correct minor imperfections like discolorations, tooth size, minor misalignments and small gaps. Placing veneers will require little to no change in natural teeth to make room for the shell-like covering.
Full mouth rehabilitation
For complex cases where there are multiple missing teeth, severe bone loss, it is vital to restore the function of the dentition, as much as restoring the aesthetics. There are many times when a full mouth rehabilitation is performed, in which all branches of dentistry are used to restore function.
TMJ disorder management
Stress, certain oral habits, and many missing back teeth can result in temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Non-surgical treatments for TMJ disorders include medications, appliances such as mouth guards and splints, and reshaping the biting surface of teeth, to name a few.
Implant supported dentures
These removable prosthesis consist of a removable denture/ plastic teeth supported by the bone as well as strategically placed implants. They provide better stability compared to regular dentures.
Smile makeovers
A smile makeover involves utilizing different dental procedures like gum lengthening, veneers, crowns, composite bonding and Invisalign treatment aimed at improving the aesthetics of your smile.
Crowns
They are caps placed on to weak or damaged tooth to strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure from further damage and can also improve the appearance. Dental crowns are made of metals, porcelain, zirconium and ceramics.
Bridges
They are used to replace one or more missing teeth with the help of placing caps on the neighboring teeth. While they are suitable in most cases, preference is given to replacement of missing teeth with the help of implant supported crown.
