Prosthetics

There are various options for replacing missing teeth. Depending on the patient’s medical indication and the condition of the oral cavity, we can make either removable or fixed dentures.

Removable dentures

  • Complete dentures – with this type of dentures, all the patient’s teeth are replaced in both the upper and lower jaw, or in one of the jaws. Dentures are made of acrylic and attached to the roof of the mouth and the alveolar ridge. In the case of a completely edentulous jaw, attaching dentures is difficult. It is especially difficult to attach dentures in the lower jaw because the lower jaw is often narrow and low. The tongue and cheek muscles that attach to the lower jaw lift the lower denture off the alveolar ridge. You have to practice holding the dentures in your mouth! In order for the dentures to stay in the mouth better, they can also be attached with implants or mini-implants.
  • Partial dentures – with this type of dentures, some missing teeth are replaced. Partial dentures are made either entirely from plastic or on a metal cast framework (clasp or frame dentures). They are made either only of acrylic or on a cast metal framework (cast bugel dentures). Because the use of a metal framework allows the dentures to be made with smaller dimensions, there is more free space in the mouth and wearing dentures is more comfortable. The advantage of metal-cast bugel dentures is also their better durability, aesthetics and functionality, but this type of dentures cannot be made for every mouth due to the displacement of one’s teeth or the unsuitable shape of the jawbone. Furthermore, repairing these dentures can be complex and may not always be possible.

Fixed dentures

The best option for restoring severely damaged or missing individual teeth is fixed dentures such as crowns, bridges, inlays, and veneers.

The result is a dental crown or bridgework with a high aesthetic appearance, which is biologically compatible and durable.

Combined dentures

It is a type of dentures that combines fixed dentures and removable dentures.

  • Partial and complete dentures are attached to root anchors and implants – the dentures stay in the mouth better.
  • Partial dentures attached to dental crowns with a special locking system.

When ordering the service, 50% of the cost of the dentures must be paid in advance. The remaining amount is paid upon final completion of the work.

Making dentures is a process that requires time and patience, which requires excellent cooperation between all three parties – the patient, the dentist and the dental technician. Active participation of the patient and their comments during tests ensure a good fit of the dentures and subsequent ease of use.

Our dental laboratory also offers patients a denture cleaning service.
