To date, dentistry offers a number of services for prosthetics. This can be both the restoration of damaged teeth, and the restoration of missing ones. To improve the functionality and esthetics of the teeth, the latest technologies and materials are used. Now you can not be afraid to go to the dentists - all types of dental prosthetics are performed under local anesthesia and are completely painless.
If several teeth are removed, the entire load falls on the remaining teeth, thus the row is completely deformed and its displacement occurs. As a result of this, poorly processed food enters the stomach, which begins to work intensively and digest pieces of food - this in turn threatens a disease of the intestinal tract. The jaw structure also suffers with time, in which a crunch appears, discomfort and pain with wide opening of the oral cavity. In this case, urgent dental prosthetics are necessary, otherwise the destruction of the rest of the row may begin.
After examination and consultation, a qualified doctor will tell you which types of dental prosthetics are right for you, and will make an approximate plan for further treatment. It all depends on the mucous membrane and the general condition of the oral cavity, and this is what makes up the clinical picture. The pricing policy for prosthetics methods is completely different: from 5000 rubles and above.
In dentistry, there are several methods of prosthetics:
Non-removable - design in shape resembling natural teeth. They are firmly fixed in the mouth and do not allow crowns, prostheses or implants to move.
Such designs include:
· Dentures. They consist of intermediate parts and crowns. Such crowns are worn over existing teeth (they are abutments), the intermediate part replaces missing teeth.
· Veneers - ceramic plates, they are installed on a turned tooth. This method will ideally smooth out cosmetic defects.
· Relaxing kappa - plastic covers that tightly cover the teeth. They are used for various dental purposes.
· Stump tab - cast pin is implanted in a healthy tooth root.
· Crowns - non-metal, metal, cermet.
· Ceramics non-metal on the implant.
· Ceramic tabs.
· An implant prosthesis is an artificial implant that is implanted in the jawbone and a crown is already placed on it.
· Single crowns.
These types of dental prosthetics help people maintain a beautiful smile and replace the formed defects in the dentition.
Removable are mouth-retaining structures that can be removed and cleaned. Non-removable and implant prostheses are not suitable for all people due to any contraindications, then removable ones replace them. They are partially removable and fully removable. The first type is made when the patient does not have a large number of teeth. Teeth are placed on an artificial gum made of plastic and fixed with clasps.
The second type is suitable for people with a complete lack of dentition. Dentures are made by analogy with the first type, only fastened without metal clasps. In fact, the types of prosthetics can differ in several ways. The most common:
- based on materials (plastic, rubber, metal, porcelain, etc.);
- by fixation (removable, non-removable, combined);
- in magnitude (partial replacement of dental defects and complete replacement);
- by distribution (bridge-like, fixed, lamellar, resting);
- by appointment (preventive, functional, professional, medical, cosmetic, corrective);
- by the duration of fixation.
Some types of dental prosthetics may not belong to the listed group, because perform several functions.
