Prosthodontics may be defined as the branch of dentistry dedicated to the restoration of oral structures through replacement of lost teeth and associated structures for the aesthetic and functional improvement of the smile. Imagine regaining the natural glow of your smile. Their work is of great importance to any patient who has suffered various conditions that cause tooth loss such as injury or decay. They help in reconstruction, restore a proper appearance and functional ability in talking and chewing.
Depending of the degree of caries or the need for replacement of a tooth, prosthodontic treatment can be from simple to the most complex. Cosmetic restorations treat small to moderate problems on a single tooth and include processes such as filings, inlays and onlays. Simpler restorations are less complicated and might be single unit restorations such as full mouth rehabilitations, crowns, or bridges or implants that restore not only the aesthetic appearance of your mouth but also the functional balance of the mouth as well.
Complete dentures, implant supported crowns, cosmetic replacements – that is the power of prosthodontic work, making smiles beautiful.

Teeth dentures are removable appliances that is used to replace the natural teeth and offer both the appearance and functionality. Dentures are fitted over the gum and mimic natural teeth that have the ability to support the facial structure. They can be fixed partial dentures, designed for replacing a couple of missing teeth, or fixed complete dentures for the full mouth rehabilitation. The current teeth dentures are made to last long and be as comfortable as possible so that you are able to chew, speak or even smile with no worries.
Full dentures are full mouth replacements for individuals who have no teeth at all. They give you back all your teeth and help maintain facial structure. As for the types of delicate thermoplastic dentures, they are made of a softer material allowing for easier wearing comfort, and proper fitting to your mouth. Flexi dentures are often used for their adaptability and comfort.
To ensure that your teeth dentures look and function as well as they last, you should need to clean them daily, as you would do with natural teeth. Clean them efficiently after each meal, brush with a softer toothbrush, and soak them in a proper solution, when not in use. Dental check-ups regularly will guarantee that your dentures fit you comfortably as you go on with your routine works.
Full dentures call for several appointments, the first one as a sort of overview, during which the dentist will check your oral cavity and ask some questions. The impressions are then made to obtain a model of your mouth in order to fabricate dentures that are best fitting. Finally, the dentures will be made, fitted and adjusted by your dentist to give a natural looking and feeling. Follow up visits are common in order to make further adjustments to achieve best comfort.
Flexible dentures are an excellent choice for many patients, specially those who have specific comfort need or partial tooth loss. Though it is not ideal for traditional full mouth replacements, it is more often used in partial denture procedures. It should be discussed with your dentist before receiving them, to make sure that the type of dentures is ideal for your dental condition.
