UNBREAKABLE PROSTHESES

• Dentures

Our teeth play a major role in the chewing function. If we talk about tooth loss, just like the negative health symptoms experienced in other parts of our body over the years, we also experience losses on our teeth.

Prosthetic teeth come into play at this point. Tooth losses that occur can be repaired with different types of prostheses depending on the number of losses;

• Fixed Prostheses

Fixed prostheses occur over time. They are types of prostheses that replace lost teeth and are fixed on neighboring teeth, which the patient perceives as his own tooth or teeth. Crowns in which material losses on a single tooth are eliminated or bridges in which tooth deficiencies are completed are called fixed prostheses

• Crown

As a result of caries or trauma. In some cases, damage to the tooth causes loss of a large part of the tooth and weakening of the tooth. To strengthen the tooth for durability, it must be covered with metal, ceramic or full ceramic restorations. This coating, which restores the shape, color and function of the tooth, is called a crown.

• Bridges

Bridge construction is one of the methods used to eliminate tooth deficiencies. grain. The missing tooth or teeth are tried to be restored with bridges made with support from neighboring teeth. For this reason, adjacent teeth must be reduced to a certain extent. Bridges generally consist of a metal substructure to withstand chewing forces and a porcelain superstructure that provides aesthetics. However, with today's technology, in some cases, it is possible to make more aesthetic and natural bridges with only porcelain.

• Removable Prostheses

Removable prostheses are the ones that are missing. It is a treatment method frequently used to complete teeth. It is applied in cases where the number of missing teeth cannot be compensated with a fixed prosthesis. If the prosthesis replaces some of the missing teeth on the jaw, it is called a partial prosthesis, and if all the teeth in the jaw are missing, it is called a total prosthesis.

When we use a prosthesis, we all worry that the prosthesis in our mouth will be noticed immediately. trace. However, with today's technology, it has become much easier to provide a natural appearance with dentures and to fully meet the aesthetic expectations of the patient.

If you have lost all or some of your teeth, dentures will correct your appearance, speech, biting and chewing of food. If dentures are not made, natural teeth may lean towards the space where the missing adjacent teeth are; upper teeth may shift downwards and lower teeth may shift upwards. In this case, it prevents your remaining teeth from performing healthy biting and chewing functions. Dentures can be applied to your mouth immediately after the extraction of your teeth; this type of prosthesis is called 'immediate prosthesis'.

• Cleaning of Removable Dentures

If you have removable If you have dentures, it is very important to keep them clean. Cleaning dentures is easier than cleaning natural teeth.

Things to Consider

To prevent the denture from breaking, wash it in a container filled with water, so that if you drop it, the possibility of it breaking is eliminated. It happens.

Brush every day with a medium-hard brush.

You can use toothpaste or soap, but it must be rinsed thoroughly before applying it to your mouth.

Make sure to take the dentures out of the mouth at night. It should be removed and placed in a container filled with water to ensure that the tissues in the mouth come into contact with saliva and are ventilated.

• Implant-supported Prostheses

Implants, It is a method used to replace missing teeth. Since a part of the implant is surgically placed into the bone like a natural tooth root, patients feel and use the implants like real teeth. This procedure is usually done with local anesthesia. In our hospital, you can also have this procedure performed in the operating room under general anesthesia or sedation. Following the fusing of the implants with the jawbone, fixed or removable prostheses are applied on them.
