Specialists in Prosthodontics

Overview of Dental Prosthetics

Dental prosthetics are specially designed devices to replace lost natural teeth, restoring not only smile aesthetics but also chewing functionality. This procedure has revolutionized millions of lives, with success rates exceeding 95% when performed by specialized dentists.

Evaluation and Planning

The decision to opt for dental prosthetics typically arises when there's significant tooth loss, chewing difficulties, or aesthetic concerns. Dentists specializing in prosthetics carefully evaluate each case, considering factors such as general oral health, bone condition, and patient-specific needs.

Preparation for the Procedure

Before prosthetic placement, detailed examinations are required, including X-rays and oral health assessment. Maintaining good oral hygiene and following all your dentist's recommendations during this preparatory period is crucial.

The Procedure Itself

Installing dental prosthetics is a process that may involve several stages, depending on the chosen type. Treatment time varies from several weeks to several months, especially in cases requiring preliminary procedures such as extractions or gum treatment.

Recovery Period

Adapting to new prosthetics requires patience and dedication. During the first few weeks, it's common to experience minor discomfort that usually diminishes over time. Regular follow-up with your dentist is essential to ensure treatment success.
