The absence of even one tooth causes a lot of physical and aesthetic inconvenience, and can also be harmful to he alth in the form of side diseases, including malocclusion and displacement of teeth. To avoid such problems, you should contact a specialist who will make prosthetics. Reviews of this procedure can be found on the official websites of the clinics.
Methods of prosthetics
Today, there are a large number of new technologies in prosthetics. A specialist will be able to help in choosing the method of prosthetics.
Distinguish between removable and non-removable dentures. Removable prosthetics include dentures that can be removed from the mouth if necessary. Fixed prosthetics include bridges, crowns, inlays, veneers, etc.
A crown is a kind of protection with which you can support a weak or split tooth. Then this tooth will become a kind of support, whichyou must first seal and correct its shape.
Crowns are made of metal alloys: steel, gold, porcelain, cermet and others. Dental prosthetics are performed using ceramic-metal crowns, which are covered with a thin layer of ceramic paste, which increases their strength many times over. In appearance, these crowns are no different from natural teeth.
Ceramic crowns are also popular. Dental prosthetics are performed using the latest technologies that allow ceramic crowns to aesthetically look like real teeth. Their disadvantage is a high degree of fragility and a number of contraindications for installation.
Plastic is not used for crowns, as it is fragile and darkens quickly.
Proper installation of crowns guarantees their service for a long time, up to 20 years.
Bridges in appearance resemble bridges that are attached with crowns. Such prostheses are made from the same materials as crowns. The principle of such crowns is that with their help the shape of the tooth and its missing parts are recreated.
With cosmetic defects on the surface of the teeth, veneers will help restore them in a short time. They look like thin plates that are attached to the front of the teeth. Once installed, veneers are visually indistinguishable from the patient's own teeth, as they are individually shaded. You can choose from a variety of materials: porcelain, ceramic and filling.
Dental prosthetics preparation
Anesthesia is a prerequisite for preparing teeth for prosthetics. Next, the doctor polishes the tooth with a diamond device to reduce it from all sides by the thickness of the crown. Also, if necessary, the old filling is replaced.
When creating prostheses, an impression of both jaws is made, after which a plaster model is made. A prototype crown is already being made from it.
Another method of prosthetics is prosthetics on implants. Such prosthetics do not require turning he althy teeth. In addition, the implant completely replaces a he althy tooth, surpassing it in strength and stability.
