PROSTHETIC TREATMENTS
Tooth loss or damaged teeth can lead to significant issues not only aesthetically but also in terms of oral health and functionality. At Klinik M, we offer modern and reliable prosthetic treatments to help you regain your smile and oral health by replacing missing or damaged teeth with permanent solutions. Prosthetic treatments are applied using innovative restorative materials that provide highly natural aesthetic and functional results.
What Are Prosthetic Treatments?
Prosthetic dental treatments involve replacing missing teeth, restoring damaged teeth, and rebalancing the structure of the mouth. These treatments aim to improve both the aesthetic and functional health of the mouth. The main prosthetic treatments offered at Klinik M include:
- Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain crowns are placed on damaged or worn teeth to restore their natural appearance and function. These crowns provide excellent aesthetic and durability, closely resembling natural teeth.
- Bridges: Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth, filling the gap between natural teeth. This treatment provides both aesthetic and functional restoration.
- Implant-Supported Prosthetics: Implant-supported prosthetics are fixed on titanium implants that act as artificial tooth roots. Implant-supported bridges or crowns offer ideal solutions for restoring the function and aesthetics of teeth.
Fixed and Removable Prosthetic Solutions
Klinik M offers both fixed and removable prosthetic solutions tailored to each patient's needs:
- Fixed Prosthetics: Porcelain crowns, bridges, and implant-supported restorations are classified as fixed prosthetic solutions. These treatments provide long-term and permanent solutions for restoring the functionality and appearance of teeth.
- Removable Prosthetics: Full and partial dentures replace missing teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional improvement. Removable prosthetics can be easily cleaned and maintained due to their detachable nature.
Treatment Process and Duration
The prosthetic treatment process varies depending on the method used and the patient's dental structure. Generally, the process includes the following steps:
- Examination and Planning: Your dentist will conduct an oral examination to evaluate the overall condition of your teeth and determine where the gaps are. Personalized treatment plans are created based on this evaluation.
- Treatment Application: For fixed prosthetics, the teeth are prepared, impressions are taken, and the restorative material (crown, bridge, implant, etc.) is placed. For removable prosthetics, impressions are taken, and the dentures are custom-made in a lab.
- Follow-Up and Adjustment: After the prosthetics or crowns are placed, regular follow-up appointments ensure that they fit well and function properly within the mouth.
Advantages of Prosthetic Treatments
Prosthetic treatments offer several aesthetic and functional advantages:
- Natural Appearance: The restorative materials used in prosthetic treatments closely resemble natural teeth, offering excellent aesthetic results.
- Functional Improvement: Prosthetic solutions restore the basic functions of teeth, such as chewing and speaking, enhancing overall oral health.
- Long-Term Solutions: Fixed prosthetics are designed to last for many years, providing long-term protection for your teeth and oral health.
- Gum Health Support: Prosthetic treatments not only restore teeth but also help protect and support the gums and surrounding tissues.
Post-Treatment Care
After prosthetic treatment, it’s important to follow specific care guidelines to ensure the longevity of your restorations and maintain good oral health:
- Maintain Regular Oral Hygiene: Brushing and flossing around the prosthetics are essential for keeping them healthy. Additionally, using the oral care products recommended by your dentist can be beneficial.
- Avoid Hard Foods: After fixed prosthetic treatment, avoiding hard and sticky foods can help protect the restorative materials from damage.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Regular visits to your dentist after prosthetic treatment help identify potential problems early and ensure the longevity of your restorations.
Cost of Prosthetic Treatment
The cost of prosthetic treatments depends on the quality of the materials used, the type of treatment, and the patient's dental structure. At Klinik M, we offer high-quality, long-lasting prosthetic solutions to suit every budget. Key factors affecting the cost of prosthetic treatment include:
- The quality of restorative materials (porcelain, zirconium, metal-supported, etc.)
- The length of the treatment process
- Custom-designed dental solutions
Before the treatment begins, your dentist will conduct a detailed evaluation and create a personalized treatment plan that best suits your needs.
