Prosthodontics
What is Prosthodontics?
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty responsible for restoring the function and aesthetics of your smile through dental prosthetics when one or more teeth have been lost.
The dentist works closely with the dental technician to design and craft the most suitable prosthesis for each patient. Depending on individual needs, these can be fixed prostheses, such as implants and bridges, or removable dentures.
Types of Prosthodontics
Dental prosthetics include a wide range of solutions, such as veneers, crowns, and bridges, as well as porcelain teeth or other materials attached to previously placed implants. They also encompass dentures or removable prostheses, whether partial or full.
How is a prosthodontic procedure performed?
Before treatment, the dentist takes impressions of your teeth so the laboratory can craft a prosthesis that fits perfectly and matches the color of your natural teeth.
Once placed, regular follow-ups and maintenance are performed to ensure proper function and to make any necessary adjustments.
All in four Dental Implants
These are fixed prostheses placed over dental implants, which function as artificial roots to support one or more teeth, or even the entire arch.
They offer superior stability, comfort, and a natural appearance, as the implants are biocompatible and integrate with the bone. In cases where all teeth are missing, 4 or 6 implants (All-on-4 or All-on-6) can be placed to fully restore dental function.
