A dental prosthesis is also called prosthetics. Crowns, bridges, partial crowns, or implants are considered to be dental prosthesis as well as dentures or ’third teeth’. The goal of modern prosthetic dentistry is the restoration of the natural function and aesthetics of the dentition.
This can be achieved by using resistant materials similar to the natural tooth. Often the dental prosthesis is almost invisible because of its perfect adaption to the natural colour and shape of the tooth thanks to modern technology. This contributes to self-confidence and joy in life – at any age.
1. Crowns
Costum-fit all-porcelain crown
Artificial crowns cap a living or dead tooth within the area of the crown. This is the part of the tooth that is visible outside the gum. The picture displays an all-porcelain crown mounted on a technical pin. Please note the transitions to the teeth from the margins and the light refractions in different parts of the crown.
2. Bridges
Not every patient believes that a gap caused by tooth loss should be closed. Some patients think that a missing tooth does not affect the appearance or the dentition, particularly if it is missing on the side. However, this in incorrect because a gap is optically visible even if it is on the side and more importantly it can affect the entire maxillo-dental area. Neighbouring teeth before and after the tooth can be displaced or tipped due to the missing tooth. Teeth from the opposite jaw grow longer because they have no rest. Such changes finally cause damages to the masticatory system. In order to prevent that from happening, the gap has to be closed.
