Dental prostheses are devices designed to replace missing or compromised teeth, restoring both the chewing function and the aesthetics of the smile.

Depending on the patient’s needs, prostheses can be mobile or fixed, made with resistant and natural-looking materials.

Types of dental prostheses

• Removable prostheses
  They can be removed by the patient at any time. They are indicated in cases where multiple dental elements are missing and it is not possible to resort to fixed solutions.
• Fixed prostheses
  They include crowns, bridges and inlays.
  • Crowns or caps: they protect devitalized teeth or replace missing elements on implants.
  • Bridges: connect multiple crowns to replace multiple consecutive teeth.
  • Inlays: they cover only part of the tooth, representing a conservative and long-lasting solution.

How prosthetics are made

The process begins with the taking of a dental impression, which provides precise information to the dental technician for the creation of the prosthetic product.
In our practice we use intraoral scanners to obtain high-precision digital impressions, avoiding the hassle of traditional impression pastes.
