Dental prosthetics are among the most common solutions used to replace missing or damaged teeth. They are designed to restore essential oral functions such as chewing and speaking, while also improving overall aesthetics.
Types of Dental Prosthetics:
- Fixed prosthetics: Such as crowns and bridges, which are permanently fixed and cannot be removed by the patient.
- Removable prosthetics: Such as partial or complete dentures, which can be easily removed and cleaned.
- Dental implants: A permanent solution anchored into the jawbone, providing high stability for artificial teeth.
Benefits of Dental Prosthetics:
- Improve chewing and speaking ability.
- Prevent shifting of adjacent teeth into empty spaces.
- Restore self-confidence and enhance appearance.
Are There Any Risks?
Some complications may occur, such as allergies to the materials used or gum infections if proper care is not maintained. Therefore, regular dental check-ups and following oral hygiene instructions carefully are strongly recommended.
