Dental prosthetics

Regardless of the reasons for the loss of teeth, most people feel uncomfortable. The absence of even one unit creates problems when chewing, making it impossible to communicate and smile normally. Dental prosthetics is an opportunity to feel your confidence again and not to limit yourself to your usual food.

Dentists of the MC Dobrobut clinic can solve the problem of single loss and completely restore the dentition, even if there are already problems with bone tissue.

The opportunity to enjoy your favorite food and socialize with loved ones is worth a lot. We will help you choose the best price solution for dentures.

Why do dental prosthetics

The loss of even one tooth triggers changes in the structure of the dentoalveolar apparatus. Free space is never empty. Neighboring units begin to shift towards space, a “chain reaction” is triggered.

The periodontal area and bone tissue begin to atrophy without a regular chewing load: the gum drops, the bone area under the lumen becomes thinner.

Other consequences of a prolonged absence of teeth will be:

digestive problems;
changes in posture;
dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint;
changes in the face's oval, prolapse of soft tissues and skin.

If a patient postpones dental prosthetics for a long time, then he will have to resort to restorative operations - to build up bone tissue, restore the level of the gums.

The main types of dentures

All artificial constructions replacing natural teeth are divided into 2 large groups: removable and non-removable. The prices for dental prosthetics in both cases will depend on many factors. Each prosthesis is made individually for the peculiarities of the patient’s jaw. A complex of materials is used - from plastic, acrylic, nylon to metal structures. A well-chosen prosthesis does not interfere with chewing, talking, or chafing - it should be comfortable for the patient.

Removable structures are a more budget option. More often, it is installed as a temporary solution, but some people choose removable dentures for permanent use. Fixed structures provide a better distribution of the load on the gums and jaw, but they are more expensive in terms of production technology.

Removable dentures

This group of prostheses is characterized by the ability to independently remove the structure. The patient can take care of the prosthesis himself, take it off at night. The negative side will be the fact that some begin to neglect the apparatus, due to which they contribute to irreversible changes in the bone and soft tissues.

the basis of a removable prosthesis rests on the alveolar ridge and palate;
it can be completely removable (with full adentia);
partially and conditionally removable (locking systems are used, or fixation on crowns).

The latter is fixed on implants.

Partially removable options are used even with the loss of a single tooth. It is preferred over a bridge as there is no need to grind adjacent units.

Conditionally, removable structures distribute the load better, but in the event of a breakdown, they will become unusable. Dental prosthetics in Kyiv are performed, considering the individual characteristics of the patient. The specialist of the MC Dobrobut dental clinic is to choose the most convenient prosthesis for a particular person.

Fixed (non-removable) dentures

This type of construction allows both to compensate for a completely lost unit and to restore the functionality of a destroyed tooth. This option includes solutions such as:

tabs - for restoring your tooth crown and stumps for an artificial crown;
veneers - onlays on the front surface of the teeth;
crowns - prostheses that recreate the lost crown of the tooth;
bridges - artificial teeth welded together with crowns at the edges for support on their units;
prostheses on implants - an artificial crown is fixed on a titanium “root” fixed in the alveolar ridge or basal bone tissue.

For each patient, dental prosthetics in MC “Dobrobut” dentistry is carried out considering modern standards. Regardless of the type of construction, it will make the owner’s life easier and better.

Denture care

Even close-fitting structures can get food particles. The patient can clean removable structures himself using brushes, pastes, and special solutions.

Non-removable structures require a visit to a doctor. The doctor in our clinic removes the prosthesis, cleans and monitors the condition of the structure. At home, the patient, besides standard teeth cleaning, can use an irrigator, rinses, and special pastes.

The service life of dentures

Several factors affect the service life of a denture: materials, manufacturing technologies, and the level of professionalism of a dental technician. It is also important how careful the owner himself is.

the cheapest dentures made of acrylic and nylon last 3-5 years;
clasp prosthesis will last 8 years;
cermet is designed for 8-10 years, just ceramic crowns - for 7;
zirconium crowns last up to 15 years, but will cost more than ceramics;
temporary crowns made of metal plastic are installed for up to 12 months, but with careful wear, they can last up to 3 years.

The lifespan of implants depends on the manufacturer. Cheaper options guarantee 20 years of service, Swiss models have a lifetime warranty.

Contraindications to prosthetics

This direction has no absolute contraindications, every person can do dental prosthetics. However, there is a list of limitations that will have to be eliminated before placing the prosthetic.

pathology of the jaw bone tissue;
diseases of the oral cavity and general pathologies in the acute stage;
rehabilitation period after surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy;
drug addiction;
mental illness and acute stress;
severe exhaustion;
pregnancy;
contraindications to anesthesia or taking drugs that prevent blood clotting, cytostatics.

The orthopedic dentist of the MC Dobrobut clinic will, without fail, question the patient in detail about his health to identify possible obstacles to the installation of the structure.
