Dental prostheses are the various ways a prosthodontist can restore missing parts of the tooth structure or replace missing teeth

What are the types of dental prostheses? Dental prostheses can be fixed or removable

Inlays/ onlays are a pre-molded piece of ceramic fitted into the grooves of the tooth. They are an aesthetic solution to restore damaged parts of the teeth.

Crowns are a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, appearance and function. It’s made to match the colour and shape of the natural tooth, made out of porcelain and zirconia.

Bridges are fixed partial dentures made from porcelain and zirconia and designed to "bridge" the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Bridges can be anchored on either side by crowns and cemented permanently into place.

Dentures are a removable replacement for missing teeth and gum. They are made of acrylic resin. Complete dentures replace all the teeth while Partial dentures are considered when some natural teeth remain.

Tooth whitening is the process of lightening the colour of natural teeth. Whitening is often desirable when teeth become yellowed over time. The ‘active ingredient' in the product is usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. As the active ingredient is broken down, oxygen gets into the enamel of the tooth and the colour is made lighter

A veneer is a thin layer from 0.5 to 0.7mm of porcelain that is permanently bonded to a tooth to embellish its natural colour, shape, or positioning in the mouth. You can get a veneer for just one tooth or multiple teeth to get a new smile.

We start by an aesthetic case study that includes pictures and impressions. We listen to the patient’s requests and take into account his general appearance , from that we develop an aesthetic project that can be simulated directly on the patient before beginning the treatment

Once we agree on the project and the number of teeth to include a series of appointments is scheduled.

Aesthetic resin is a cosmetic solution shaped and molded on your teeth to give the appearance of straighter and whiter smile. It can be used as a cosmetic solution to chipped teeth, gapped teeth and staining in both teeth and fillings. This solution is less expensive but its longevity over time is limited.
