At our clinic, we are specialists in oral implantology and dental rehabilitation treatments. We focus on restoring function, aesthetics, and facial harmony for patients who have lost one or more teeth, using state-of-the-art dental prosthetics. Our goal is to significantly improve our patients’ quality of life by restoring not only chewing ability, but also their confidence and overall well-being.
Dental prosthetics are designed to replace missing teeth through a structure that can substitute one, several, or all teeth and molars, depending on the patient’s needs. The goal of the treatment is to provide optimal retention, fixation, and stability to ensure long-lasting and functional results.
Types of Dental Prosthetics
There are different types of dental prosthetics depending on each patient’s needs, and our specialists will determine the most appropriate option for each case. The main types include:
Fixed Dental Prosthetics
Fixed dental prosthetics are a permanent solution placed on natural teeth or dental implants. These prosthetics are designed to restore dental function and aesthetics in a durable way, without the need to remove them for cleaning.
They are composed of:
- Abutment teeth: The natural teeth surrounding the empty space that serve as support for the prosthetic.
- Retainers: Responsible for holding the prosthetic in place by acting on the contour of the tooth.
- Bases: Provide support for the artificial teeth and adapt to the aesthetic resin that imitates the gums.
- Occlusal rests: Prevent the prosthetic from sinking and act as a support base.
Fixed prosthetics offer the advantage of greater stability, more efficient chewing, and a highly aesthetic appearance.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are another common oral rehabilitation treatment. They are used to restore teeth that have suffered significant damage, such as fractures or deep cavities. Crowns, usually made of ceramic, fit precisely to the patient’s dental structure, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. They can be full or partial, depending on the level of damage to the tooth and the health of the gums.
Dental crowns offer the advantage of being highly resistant, long-lasting, and capable of closely mimicking the natural appearance of teeth.
Removable Dental Prosthetics
This type of prosthetic is an effective solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth or an entire dentition and can be removed for cleaning. They are more affordable than fixed prosthetics and are used to restore both dental function and aesthetics.
These prosthetics are composed of:
- Major connector: The component that joins all parts of the prosthetic.
- Minor connectors: Connect the major connector to other elements.
- Artificial teeth: Replace missing teeth and are available in materials such as metal-ceramic or full ceramic.
Removable prosthetics are ideal for patients seeking an economical and flexible solution.
Benefits of Dental Prosthetics
- Functional and aesthetic improvement: Prosthetics restore chewing ability, improve speech, and rebuild confidence in the smile.
- Personalized solution: Our prosthetics are custom-designed to perfectly adapt to each patient’s needs.
- Durability: Modern prosthetics, both fixed and removable, are designed to last for many years with proper care.
¿How Much Does the Treatment Cost and How Long Does It Take?
The cost and duration of dental prosthetic treatment depend on several factors, such as the number of teeth to be replaced, the type of prosthetic selected, and the complexity of the case. At our clinic, we offer a personalized evaluation for each patient, where we analyze their condition and provide a treatment plan tailored to their needs.
We invite you to schedule an evaluation appointment to learn more about which treatment option is best for you.
