Removable Dentures

 

These types of dentures can be removed and placed by the patient and don’t require the help of the dentist. These dentures are given for temporary replacement or in case of very little bone and to maintain the space of missing teeth. For this, the dentist makes a mold of the patient’s mouth and sends it to the laboratory. The technician makes the denture with teeth and a gum-like part. The dentist will then place it in the patient’s mouth. This is a time-saving treatment

Complete dentures

These types of dentures are for the replacement of the entire set of teeth and can be removed by the patient. The most common reason for losing a complete set of teeth is gum diseases, which results in teeth shaking. As already told there are few disorders where the patient doesn’t have teeth right from birth. In the case of a good bone level, complete denture can be supported by implants (screws). Usually, patients without teeth lack nutrition, as they cannot eat much, so it is very important to replace the teeth. It also increases self-confidence as the face looks full and healthy with the denture.

Dental crowns for Implants

 

Dental Implant placement has two phases. Phase 1 involves surgically placing the implant into the bone and Phase 2 involves placing the dental crown (the visible part of the tooth in the mouth) over the implant. In phase 2, the dentist makes a mold of your mouth and sends it to the lab. The lab technician makes a dental crown for the implant. The dentist then fixes the crown over the implant.

Facial Prosthesis

 

Prosthodontics not only deals with the replacement of teeth, but also the replacement of damaged facial structures. When a defect in the face can not be corrected surgically a prosthesis is required to change the look of it. The most common prosthesis in the face is for nose, eyes, and ears. Like the artificial teeth, the facial prosthesis is fixed either with the help of implants or adhesives.
