Prosthesis Treatment and Care

One of the most important specialties of dentistry is prosthetic treatment. This treatment method, which is applied to patients who have lost all or part of their teeth for various reasons, is an extremely important application area to restore the comfort of daily life.

In addition to aesthetic elements, it is a series of treatment processes that facilitate our daily life in terms of oral health, such as chewing and speaking properly.

Types of Prostheses

Temporary Teeth

Although a temporary tooth structure is provided by considering the social and psychological state of the patient while fixed prostheses are made, it should be decided together with the dentist, as in every treatment method. In the half-palate positions, the patient gains a tooth structure as soon as possible.

Fixed Prostheses

If your tooth has a high rate of material loss, fixed prosthesis is recommended. Fixed dentures provide a more comfortable chewing than removable dentures.

Removable Prostheses

If all teeth have been extracted or if you have experienced a discomfort related to gingival issues and have lost most of the teeth, removable and removable dentures are recommended. The use of removable dentures is longer than fixed dentures.

Implant Prostheses

How should daily prosthesis care be after treatment?
