Dental Prosthesis

Dental Prosthesis is an artificial appliance which is used as a substitution for the replacement of teeth. In certain conditions of missing teeth the empty space between teeth can lead to teeth shift to compensate for the space. Crooked teeth can further cause tooth decay and periodontal diseases that can ultimately lead to teeth loss. Thus prosthesis is one of the finest dental treatment measures for this problem.

Types of Dental Prosthesis : For treating the dental problem of empty space between teeth there are mainly three types of Dental Prosthesis:

  • Single Prosthesis : this is a type of prosthesis which is used for treating the oral problem of replacing one or two missing teeth. Every prosthetic tooth attaches to its own implant in this procedure.
  • Partial Prosthesis : this is a type of prosthesis that is used for replacing two or more teeth. This is one of the most commonly performed implant procedure and may require only two or three implants as done by the dentist and other specialists.
  • Complete Prosthesis : number of implants varies under this implant procedure depending upon the type of prosthesis as under this procedure all the teeth in upper or lower jaw are replaced.

There are three options for dental prosthesis :

  • Removable Dentures : these are the least expensive of the three options and initially are esthetically pleasing.
  • Tooth Supported Fixed Bridge : these are the better option than removable dentures as they can be removed only with the help of dental specialist. They also provide better chewing ability they also require less maintenance as well.
  • Dental Implant Support Bridge : dental implants provide a solid anchor for teeth which stimulate bone growth and these are the most esthetically pleasing and the most expensive of all.
