What options I have?

There are many different prosthodontic solutions available, and each treatment plan is tailored individually according to the patient’s needs and oral health condition. Dental crowns are used to restore severely damaged or weakened teeth, protecting them from further wear while restoring their shape, strength, and functionality. Modern crowns are made from high-quality materials that provide a natural appearance and long-lasting durability.

One of the most popular aesthetic prosthetic solutions is dental veneers — thin porcelain shells used to improve the color, shape, and alignment of teeth. Veneers help create a brighter and more harmonious smile with minimal removal of natural tooth structure and are ideal for correcting minor aesthetic imperfections.

Different prosthetic options are available to replace missing teeth, including bridges, implant-supported restorations, and removable dentures. Dental implants are a modern and long-lasting solution that replaces the missing tooth root while helping preserve jawbone health and normal chewing function. Removable dentures offer a practical solution when several or all teeth are missing.

Every prosthodontic treatment begins with a thorough consultation and personalized treatment plan. Modern technology and an individual approach help achieve aesthetic, comfortable, and functional results that support long-term oral health and allow patients to smile with confidence again.

Removable Dentures:

  • Plastic prosthesis (the body of the dentures is made of plastic resembling the mucous membrane).
  • Bugel /cast prosthesis (the body of the dentures is made of cast metal and the parts supporting the teeth are made of plastic resembling the mucous membrane).
  • Combined dentures (crowns and dentures with locks)Because the oral system is a balanced unity, in order to achieve the durability of dentures, it is necessary to restore the opposing teeth and ensure an evenly distributed chewing. Subsequent hygiene and follow-up is essential. At intervals determined during the follow-up, clamps and other fixtures are checked and adjusted, if necessary the main part of the dentures is filled in with additional mass made of base material, depending on how the jawbone has developed over time.
