What Are Dental Prosthetics?

Dental prosthetics are specialized restorations that replace or repair damaged or missing teeth and oral tissues. When teeth or gums are compromised due to disease, trauma, or decay, prosthetics can restore their function and appearance. These treatments help preserve natural teeth or provide effective replacements to maintain oral health and aesthetics.

Common Types of Dental Prosthetics

1. Restorations to Rebuild Teeth

• Tooth-Colored Fillings: Ideal for smaller cavities, these fillings use dental composites that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Dental Inlays: These repair larger cavities or areas of decay, providing a durable and aesthetic solution.
• Dental Onlays: Also known as partial crowns, onlays are a conservative alternative to full crowns, covering damaged areas while preserving more of your natural tooth.

2. Prosthetics to Replace Teeth

• Dental Bridges: Used to fill gaps left by missing teeth, bridges can be cantilevered or supported by existing teeth, depending on the location and extent of tooth loss.
• Partial Bridges: Perfect for those with some healthy teeth remaining, partial bridges are color-matched and designed to blend with your natural teeth.
• Full Dentures: Complete upper or lower dentures replace all missing teeth, customized to fit the unique contours of your mouth and face.
• Temporary or Immediate Dentures: These are placed during the same appointment as extractions, providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution while permanent dentures are crafted.

3. Implants and Alternatives

Dental implants can support or stabilize replacement teeth for a more stable and long-term solution. Implants can enhance the fit and comfort of existing dentures or support new ones. They offer a more permanent solution by integrating with the jawbone and providing a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth.
