Prosthodontics

The modern medicine has many options for full restoration of destructed or lost teeth. The denture placement does not require engagement of natural teeth, keeping their health and beauty.

The dentures may be of the following types:

• plastic crowns;
• porcelain fused to metal crowns;
• zirconium crowns;
• dental bridges;
• porcelain and composite veneers;
• bugel removable dentures;

There are two types of crown fixation:

• on the root of the original tooth;
• on the titanium implant, implanted in the osseous tissue;

This modern methodology allows making the dental row virtually pristine, even in case of absence of dental roots. The method of fixed restoration ensures reliable fixation of teeth, thanks to which food residues do not get into space under teeth, thus causing different inflammatory processes. The one tooth denture does not require tooth facing, thanks to which the neighboring teeth are not damaged. If many original healthy teeth remained in the oral cavity, you may hide absence of one tooth with a dental bridge, which is fixed on the neighboring teeth. It is the most cost saving type of dentures.

COMPOSITE VENEERS

When there is a need to remove some aesthetic defects of the dental row, the specialist of our clinic use porcelain and composite veneers – thin on-lay plates, hiding the yellow and chipped teeth as well as allowing correcting the tooth form or removing dental gaps. The porcelain veneers are very durable thanks to their material of fabrication – ceramics or medical porcelain. However, when they are placed, the dental enamel is filed down; you need to wear them constantly and change regularly. The composite veneers differ by a quick and reduced-impact technology of placement without filing down teeth. They may be removed without any damage to teeth.

BUGEL DENTURES

If for any reasons the above-listed methods of denture placement are not suitable for a patient, we offer the analog – bugel dentures. The bugel dentures are hard, durable and convenient structures. They are designed for wearing round the clock without any need to take them off at night. The important advantage of such dentures is that they do not anyhow influence a chewing process – the load is evenly distributed all over the jaw through arc-shaped frame of dentures.  The financial capacity and preferences of the patient determinate the denture fabrication material. The polypropylene, nylon and biodentaplast, distinguishable for its high degree of resilience and rigidity, are used in our clinic.
