PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY

Prosthodontics is the branch of Dentistry that deals with the replacement of missing teeth.

It also includes restoration of teeth, in cases where there is a big lack of hard tissues. It is divided into fixed prosthodontics (crowns, bridges) and removable (partial or complete dentures)

There is a great variety of materials available for the fabrication of dental prostheses, which enables us to select the appropriate one for each individual patient, depending on aesthetic and financial factors.

PORCELAIN CROWNS – METAL CERAMIC CROWNS

This is the prosthesis that consists of a metal framework, which is completely biocompatible with the tissues of the oral cavity and is externally covered with ceramic material (porcelain). Metal ceramic crowns can be made on any teeth but mainly posterior ones. They match the patient's teeth in shape and colour, providing with a good aesthetic result

CERAMIC CROWNS/ZIRGONIUM CROWNS

These restorations lack the internal metallic core and are fully made up of porcelain, or zirconia and porcelain. Their main characteristic is that their core is transparent, thus it is penetrated by light in the same way as in natural teeth. They are completely biocompatible. Due to their high aesthetic performance, these crowns are the treatment of choice in the anterior teeth region and in cases where aesthetics is of outmost importance.

THERMOPLASTIC MATERIALSVALPLAST & VERTEX)

Thermoplastic materials are used in the construction of complete and partial dentures. They are hypoallergenic, durable and flexible and available in ten different shades. They simulate the patients’ gum and mucosa, thus allowing the dentures to look natural.
