Prosthetic dental treatments are modern dentistry methods used to address aesthetic and functional problems caused by tooth loss. By utilizing various types of prostheses according to specific needs, these treatments offer natural-looking and comfortable solutions. The procedures are planned based on the number of missing teeth, jaw structure, and individual expectations.
Full dentures are a type of prosthesis used when all teeth are missing. They are typically applied to the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. These prostheses, supported by the jawbone, are ideal for addressing the aesthetic and functional issues caused by tooth loss.
The fabrication process for full dentures usually takes 2–3 weeks, requiring 2–3 appointments with your dentist. During the first appointment, measurements are taken. The prostheses are then designed and produced in a laboratory. Finally, the fit of the dentures is checked, and they are placed.
Initially, full dentures require an adjustment period. However, with regular use and proper care, they can be worn comfortably in daily life. It is important to keep the dentures clean and attend regular maintenance and check-ups.
Precision-attached dentures are prostheses secured with a snap-on mechanism. They are attached to existing teeth or implants, providing secure and natural use. These dentures are an effective option for addressing the aesthetic and functional challenges of tooth loss. The fabrication of precision-attached dentures typically takes 2–3 weeks.
During this process:
Using these prostheses is generally easy, but a short adjustment period may be required initially. Proper placement and removal of the prosthesis can be easily learned with your dentist’s guidance.
Partial dentures are used when only certain teeth are missing. They are anchored to the jawbone or existing teeth for support. These prostheses are an ideal choice for solving aesthetic and functional problems.
The fabrication process for partial dentures usually takes 2–3 weeks. Measurements are taken during this time, and the design and production stages are completed. After trials and final adjustments, the prosthesis is placed.
Partial dentures are typically easy to use and require a short adjustment period. Performing daily cleaning and attending regular check-ups can enhance the prosthesis’s performance.
The lifespan of prosthetic teeth varies depending on the material quality and care habits.
