What Are Prosthetic Treatments?

Prosthetic dental treatments replace missing teeth, restore damaged teeth, and re-establish the balance of the oral structure. These treatments focus on improving oral health from both an aesthetic and a functional standpoint. The main prosthetic treatments offered at Klinik M include:

  • Porcelain Crowns: Placed over damaged or worn teeth, porcelain crowns restore the natural appearance and function of the tooth.
  • Bridges: Used when one or more teeth are missing, bridges are anchored to the teeth on either side of the gap to fill in the missing teeth.
  • Implant-Supported Prosthetics: Prostheses anchored on implants, which are titanium fixtures that function like natural tooth roots.

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 among the fixed prosthetic solutions.
  • Removable Prosthetics: Partial dentures and full dentures offer removable solutions that replace missing teeth.

Treatment Process and Duration

The prosthetic treatment process can vary depending on the method applied and the patient's dental structure. In general, it consists of the following steps:

  1. Examination and Planning: Your dentist performs an intraoral examination and uses X-ray or 3D imaging technology to assess the overall condition of the teeth and identify missing areas.
  2. Treatment Application: For fixed prosthetics, this involves preparing the teeth, taking measurements, and placing the restorative material. For removable dentures, tooth impressions are taken and the dentures are custom-made in a laboratory.
  3. Check-ups and Adjustment: After the denture or crown is placed, regular check-ups are carried out to ensure it fits comfortably with the patient's oral structure.

Benefits of Prosthetic Treatments

Prosthetic treatments offer many benefits, both aesthetic and functional:

  • Natural Appearance: The restorative materials used in prosthetic treatments closely resemble your natural teeth.
  • Functional Improvement: Prosthetic solutions restore the essential functions of the teeth, such as chewing and speaking.
  • Long-Lasting Solutions: Fixed prosthetics are designed to last for years, protecting your dental health over the long term.
  • Supports Gum Health: Prosthetic treatments can be applied not only to protect the teeth but also to support the gums and surrounding tissue.

Aftercare

There are several important points to keep in mind after prosthetic treatment to ensure your teeth and restorations last as long as possible:

  • Regular Oral Care: Brushing and flossing help keep prosthetic restorations healthy.
  • Avoid Hard Foods: Avoiding hard and sticky foods after fixed prosthetic treatment prevents damage to the restorative materials.
  • Regular Dental Check-ups: Visiting your dentist regularly after prosthetic treatment helps detect possible problems early and keeps restorations healthy for longer.

Prosthetic Treatment Costs

The cost of prosthetic treatment varies depending on the quality of materials used, the treatment method applied, and the patient's dental structure. Klinik M meets our patients' aesthetic and functional needs with quality, long-lasting prosthetic solutions suited to every budget. The main factors affecting the cost of prosthetic treatment are:

  • The quality of the restorative materials (porcelain, zirconium, metal-supported, etc.)
  • The length of the treatment process
  • Personalized tooth design

At the start of your prosthetic treatment process, your dentist will carry out a detailed assessment and create the most suitable treatment plan for you.
