FAQs:
What is prosthodontics? Prosthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the restoration and replacement of missing teeth and oral structures. Prosthodontists are trained to design, fabricate, and fit prosthetic devices such as crowns, bridges, and dentures to restore oral function and aesthetics.
What are dental crowns? Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. They improve the strength, appearance, and functionality of the tooth, restoring its shape, size, and color.
What are dental bridges? Dental bridges are prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap between adjacent teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) supported by crowns or implants on either side of the gap, restoring chewing function and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting.
What are full dentures? Full dentures, also called complete dentures, are removable prosthetic devices that replace all of the teeth in one or both dental arches. They are custom-made to fit securely over the gums and restore the appearance and function of natural teeth.
What are partial dentures? Partial dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a metal or acrylic framework that clasps onto the remaining teeth for support and stability.
How long do dental prosthetics last? The longevity of dental prosthetics varies depending on factors such as the material used, oral hygiene practices, and daily wear and tear. With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns, bridges, and dentures can last many years before requiring replacement or adjustment.
Are dental prosthetics comfortable to wear? Modern dental prosthetics are designed to be comfortable and functional, allowing for natural chewing and speaking abilities. Our prosthodontists take great care in customizing prosthetics to fit seamlessly with your existing teeth and gums, ensuring optimal comfort and stability.
Can dental prosthetics enhance my chewing and speaking abilities?
