Prosthetic Dental Treatment

Prosthetic dental applications are used to replace missing teeth for patients who have lost one or more teeth for any reason. This treatment helps maintain the aesthetics of the smile and ensures the proper alignment of the remaining teeth. Prosthetic teeth, which can be customized to meet specific needs, are designed using materials that perfectly mimic real teeth. Due to their light-transmitting properties, these prosthetic teeth closely resemble natural teeth, preserving the patient’s natural appearance.

Prosthetic teeth are custom-made to fit the jaw and tooth dimensions of each patient. We provide prosthetic solutions tailored to the desired features, filling in the gaps left by missing teeth. If you’re interested in learning more about our prosthetic dental applications, we’ve outlined the key aspects in detail for you.

Types of Prosthetic Teeth

Fixed Prosthetic Teeth: These are permanent solutions that cannot be removed by the patient. Since the prosthetic teeth are firmly attached to the jaw, they offer durability and longevity similar to natural teeth.
Removable Prosthetic Teeth (Partial or Full Dentures): These are secured to the gums using adhesive materials and can be removed by the patient at any time. Removable prosthetic teeth can be designed as full dentures or individual tooth replacements, allowing flexibility in use.

The types of prosthetic teeth are categorized as follows:

Precision-attached prosthetic teeth
Reinforced ceramic full prosthetics
Zirconium prosthetic teeth
Metal-supported prosthetic teeth
Metal-free IPS bridge prosthetic teeth

What Are Prosthetic Teeth and Their Features?

Orthodontic applications are not only essential for achieving an aesthetic appearance but also play a crucial role in ensuring healthy speech, eating, and sleeping patterns. Early orthodontic treatment is necessary to address potential future problems that may affect patients. Without addressing issues such as mouth infections, gum diseases, root diseases, and tooth loss, it is impossible to maintain optimal oral health. Orthodontic treatments, which involve jaw surgery and braces, help align the teeth and jaw into their proper position. Once the natural alignment of the teeth and jaw is restored, the problems experienced by patients are resolved. Early treatment allows the bones to complete their movement more quickly, resulting in a shorter treatment duration. During the growth period, treatment facilitates easier movement of teeth and jaws, while orthodontic treatment at an older age can complicate the healing process.

How Are Fixed Prosthetic Teeth Made?

The steps we follow and the application details for making fixed prosthetic teeth are listed below:

In the first step of the application, the teeth to receive restoration are prepared for measurement.
The relationship of the teeth prepared in the laboratory with adjacent, opposing teeth and surrounding tissues is checked.
After the final polishing in the laboratory, the prosthetic teeth are tested on the patient. If no problems are encountered, the patient’s approval is obtained, and the teeth are fixed in place.
The preparation phase for fixed prosthetic teeth takes a total of 10 days.
The treatment, which continues for 10 days, is completed at the end of this period.

The lifespan of prosthetic teeth depends on the patient’s attention to oral and dental care. The fixed prosthetic teeth we place in the position of the missing teeth function identically to the patient’s natural teeth. These fixed prosthetic teeth, derived from natural teeth, eventually form nerve tissues and, like natural teeth, provide taste sensation. Fixed prosthetic teeth are not only functional but also maintain the appearance of natural teeth, offering aesthetic benefits.

How Are Removable Dentures Applied, and What Are the Details?

The steps we follow for the application of removable dentures are outlined below:

Removable prosthetic teeth are artificial products made from porcelain or other materials.
These prosthetic teeth offer ease of use, allowing patients to easily put them in and take them out.
Patients who have lost multiple teeth can replace their missing teeth with removable prosthetics.
After examining the lost teeth, our dentists decide whether to prepare a partial or full removable prosthesis and take the patient’s dental impressions.
Our specialists take measurements of the patient’s teeth and jaw to prepare prosthetic teeth that fit perfectly.
Once the prosthetic teeth are completed, they are attached to the patient’s gums and can be used normally.

What Are Zirconium Prosthetic Teeth and Their Features?

Zirconium prosthetic teeth are more durable and long-lasting compared to porcelain teeth. To ensure that they are indistinguishable from natural teeth, they are designed with light-transmitting properties. Like natural teeth, zirconium teeth allow light to pass through, preserving a natural appearance. The zirconium-based prosthetic teeth we prepare also help prevent gum or palate diseases in our patients. While porcelain prosthetics can sometimes cause gum and palate issues over time, zirconium teeth, which have no allergenic effects, do not develop such complications. We use zirconium teeth for both removable and fixed prosthetic applications, ensuring a natural and aesthetic smile for our patients.
