Dental prosthetics

In modern dentistry, there are many methods of treating partial or complete absence of teeth.

• Plate prosthesis - removable design, used both in case of complete absence of a tooth and in case of partial absence. Modern dentures are made of non-toxic plastic with aesthetic artificial teeth.

• Clasp prosthesis - today is one of the most effective and comfortable prostheses in comparison with other removable structures.

• A bridge is a non-removable structure that replaces small and medium defects in the dentition. It consists of a series of artificial crowns that are placed on healthy teeth or on their roots. This type includes an adhesive bridge prosthesis, which is used as a temporary structure.

• Crowns are one of the most common methods of dental prosthetics. Prices for crowns. A crown allows you to restore a damaged tooth, protect a weakened or chipped tooth from further destruction when this cannot be achieved with a filling, correct irregular shape and disturbed color, etc.

Crowns are made of zirconia, metals and their alloys (including steel and gold), porcelain, combinations of acrylic and composite polymers (zirconia crown, all-ceramic crown, metal crown, metal-ceramic crown):

• Metal-ceramic crowns consist of a metal frame lined with ceramic. They feel and look almost no different from a real tooth, are durable and can withstand increased mechanical stress. Aesthetic metal-ceramic crowns, unlike metal crowns, can be installed on almost all teeth (front and chewing).

• One of the most progressive technologies is ceramic crowns based on zirconium oxide, or press crowns, which replaced metal-ceramic. Aesthetic, lightweight, high-strength zirconium has the same margin of safety and even greater reliability compared to metal-ceramic crowns. This type of dental prosthetics is offered in many clinics in Lviv.

Inlays are fillings that are made of pressed ceramics in a laboratory. In addition to the maximum accuracy of fit to the tooth, they have a flawless aesthetic appearance. A ceramic inlay is characterized by high strength and durability, unlike a conventional filling, and has an affordable price.

Veneers are very thin plates that are placed on the front part of the tooth and allow you to restore teeth in the shortest possible time, even if some of them are destroyed to the level of the gums. Veneers are selected according to the color of the enamel of the adjacent teeth.

There are several types of veneers that differ in the material from which they are made:

• Ceramic veneers are thin ceramic plates that are attached to the front of the tooth.

• Composite veneers - are made of composite (filling) material in one visit directly in the patient's mouth, unlike the previous veneers, which are made in dental laboratories and take a certain amount of time. However, composite veneers are not durable and can change color over time, which will never happen with ceramic veneers. The price of composite veneers is, of course, cheaper, but the quality is not as good as ceramic veneers.

Implantation with subsequent fixation of an artificial crown is the most modern and effective method of treating both partial and complete tooth loss. Dental implants and their subsequent fixation with an artificial crown do not require grinding of adjacent teeth, and fully restore the function and aesthetics of the missing tooth.

Today, dentists and patients are increasingly choosing dental implants as the most effective and high-tech method.
