When, due to natural or accidental causes, significant damage or loss of teeth occurs, modern prosthetics come to our aid. The latest prosthetic technologies allow you to restore the original condition of your teeth. A fully natural appearance of the mouth while maintaining the jawline ensures comfort and restores self-confidence. Professional dental centers provide their patients with a wide selection of the best possible solutions tailored to their needs. If necessary, you can take advantage of the wide range of possibilities offered by modern prosthetics.
Prostheses
Dentures are divided into full or partial. Their task is to replace natural teeth and restore basic chewing functions, proper articulation and aesthetic appearance. Partial dentures use the patient's natural teeth as a support, which is not available when using a complete denture, which is kept in place by the so-called capillary effect, i.e. the presence of saliva between the denture plate and the mucous membrane as well as negative pressure and adhesion. We use microdentures made of acrylic to replace a maximum of 3 dental cavities. Acrylic allows the denture to stay in place better and affects its aesthetics.
Although the prosthesis is not the most aesthetic or comfortable solution, and with long-term use it leads to complete bone loss, which may cause discomfort - its price is a big advantage.
Crowns
A crown is a permanent element placed on the patient in place of a tooth defect. It is a type of prosthetic reconstruction embedded in the crown of a natural tooth or a crown-root post in the case of previous root canal treatment. The crown is placed permanently - it cannot be removed to fully cover and, as it were, replace the damaged tooth. This strengthens it and improves its aesthetics by slightly changing its shape or alignment. The materials from which the crown is made allow their shade to be perfectly matched to the natural color of the teeth. Crowns have high mechanical strength, good tightness, durability, do not require extensive grinding of the natural tooth, are a very aesthetic solution, retain their color, do not cause inflammatory reactions and allergies. Composite crowns have a top layer that imitates natural enamel. The latest achievement in dentistry are ceramic crowns on a zirconium base, which are fully biocompatible. The variety of crowns (metal, ceramic on a metal base, ceramic on a zirconium base, all-ceramic and composite) means that everyone will find a crown that will suit their financial conditions. What are the disadvantages of crowns? In the case of metal crowns, their metallic color and conduction of thermal stimuli may be disturbed; metal-ceramic crowns, depending on the type of alloy they are made of, may cause graying of the gums, a metallic taste in the mouth and allergies.
Bridges
This is undoubtedly one of the best methods of replacing partial tooth defects. They are worn permanently. Their advantage is that they do not take up more space in the mouth than natural teeth. They transfer the chewing force in a physiological way, so we do not feel any discomfort when using them. They enable the reconstruction of proper bite and prevent bone loss. Each bridge consists of pillars in the form of teeth located next to the cavity and a pontic, which is an artificial tooth embedded in the gap. Bridges are a much better solution than removable dentures and cheaper than implants, so they are an optimal solution.
Implants
The implant is nothing more than an artificial root made of titanium, which has high mechanical strength and is perfectly tolerated by our body. This one
one of the most natural, comfortable and durable solutions of modern dentistry. The implant fuses with the bone permanently, replacing a root lost in various circumstances. It provides support for future prosthetic reconstruction. Thanks to implants, you can once again enjoy a beautiful smile and the freedom to eat meals, which will definitely make your everyday life easier. Their advantages include durability, comfort and stability of use, the best replacement for a natural tooth, improvement of chewing function, general facial aesthetics and pronunciation, prevention of permanent bone loss, and no allergic reactions. Although implants are not a cheap solution, they should be treated as an investment that will pay off thanks to the high quality of their workmanship. The disadvantage of choosing this method of filling the defect is the long treatment time, which can last up to several months. We also have to take into account the risk of the body rejecting the implant.
