Prosthetic and restorative dentistry
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns (caps) are used to restore and protect an extensively damaged tooth or in cases that an old crown needs to be replaced. A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth and is retained permanently by remaining adjacent teeth. The teeth that support and retain the bridge must be healthy and in good structural condition. Crowns and bridges are fixed restorations and in most cases the procedure can be completed in 2-3 visits. Use of contemporary ceramic materials allow us to provide naturally looking and durable restorations
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Sometimes teeth and existing dental restorations have been damaged or worn so much that a holistic and well-coordinated treatment approach is necessary. A full mouth rehabilitation starts with a detailed analysis of all existing esthetic, biologic, and functional dental problems. The esthetic and functional rehabilitation is achieved with replacement of worn teeth/restorations using a combination of crowns, bridges or implant-supported restorations.
Dentures
A denture is a restoration method used to replace missing teeth. There are two types of dentures: full dentures are used to restore the smile and function when all of the teeth are missing in an arch, and partial dentures are used when some teeth have been lost. These custom dentures are removable and may need adjustments to achieve proper fit. Dentures can be made and placed immediately after the extraction of teeth, but in these cases a reline is usually needed in 6-12 months to achieve better fit. When more support or retention is required, an implant denture is an alternative option. The implants are used to secure the denture in place but the denture can be pulled out for easy cleaning and care.
