Prosthetic

Prosthetic dentistry or prosthodontics is a dental specialty which not only deals with the replacement of lost or missing teeth but also gums, lips & other facial features.

It is mostly related with cosmetics whether it’s a single restoration or an extensive rehabilitation which not only has to be harmonious with surrounding structures but at the same time also be functional and comfortable for the patient.

In prosthetic dentistry your dentist will do crowns, fixed bridges, porcelain veneers, dental implants, dentures, facial prosthesis.

Crowns also sometimes known as ‘caps’ replace entire tooth surface which is visible above gum line, usually made of metal, porcelain fused to metal or all-ceramic and mostly to restore the tooth, or after root canal therapy.

Fixed bridges replace one or more missing tooth by taking support of adjacent healthy teeth which are grinded and re- contoured to place the crown and bridge the gap.

Veneers are thin wafer like shells and cover front surface of a tooth.

Your surgeon can place the screw like Dental Implants surgically inside your jaws; they replace the entire tooth (both crown and root). Dentures can be full or partial or implant supported.

Your prosthodontist will plan out your treatment depending on whether the case is about smile makeover or full facial reconstruction.
