Dentures
The development of orthopedic dentistry has led to the creation of practical and comfortable removable dentures. Their aesthetic appearance is attractive because of its naturalness. Dentures are a type of removable prosthesis that is popular with many dental patients. Their ease of use, care, and functionality are some of their advantages. Dentures fully replace lost teeth. The loss of teeth should not upset anyone. Doctors at Denta-Pro Dental Clinic offer a variety of options for restoring teeth. After visiting the dentist, each patient feels comfortable and confident - you can smile widely. The best orthopedic dentists practice in the clinic and use advanced technologies of denture fabrication and digital techniques of diagnostics. Removable dentures are made from high quality materials. Orthopedist takes into account all the anatomic features of the structure of the teeth and bite.
Peculiarities of clasp dentures
The advantage of partial dentures is the structure of the supporting parts. It is made in the form of an arch (in German Bügel). This configuration combines two sides of the jaw, making it possible to replace lost anterior and lateral teeth. Chest prostheses are made of ceramic on a metal base. This technique allows for the high quality restoration of the tooth row in cases where implants are not available.
Partial dentures are indicated in the following cases:
- a row of teeth is missing;
- if the teeth move because of periodontitis (the restoration stabilizes and strengthens the teeth);
- the tooth surface is wearing down quickly;
- adentia has developed on one side;
- one of the jaws is defective;
- the bite needs to be corrected;
- grinding of teeth while sleeping;
- teeth have visible defects.
Installation of partial dentures is contraindicated in cases of deep bite, absence of incisors, bone atrophy in the place designed for dentures. If the teeth designed for support are in poor condition, dentures are not recommended. With diseases such as periodontal disease, cancer, diabetes, mental disorders also cannot be placed with partial dentures. Their operating life is designed for 10 years, so the prosthetics are made after a thorough examination of the patient. The dentist analyzes the condition of the teeth that will support them, and checks the gums and alveolar processes.
Types of partial dentures
The main criterion by which partial dentures are classified is the method of fixation on the jaw of the patient.
The orthopedic dentists of Denta-Pro Clinic install partial dentures according to the patient's indications after a comprehensive examination.
- The attachments (locks) consist of two parts. In order to install the construction, the orthopedist inserts one element into the supporting teeth, while the second is attached to the partial denture. The denture distributes the load between the supporting teeth and the gums. Thanks to this design, no locks are visible on the outside and the tooth row is rigidly fixed. The disadvantage of this method is considered to be the mechanical alteration of the dental supports.
- On clasps - a common type. Dentures are attached to the supports with hooks made of metal (clammers). The main load is placed on the gums. The arch allows you to fix the splints, which were installed to strengthen the movable tooth row. This method has advantages - affordable cost, functionality and long-term use. The disadvantages are the visibility of the clasps in a wide smile, so such prostheses are used to restore the tooth row in the lateral part of the jaw.
- Lenticular prosthesis, fixed with a telescopic system. This method is distinguished by its aesthetic qualities. Its advantage is that the patient can smile broadly with this type of restoration, because the fixtures are securely hidden. This effect is achieved with healthy and intact teeth. The edges of the telescope-shaped arch are fitted with telescope crowns. The design is installed after the supporting elements have been grinded down and plated with a metal coating. The telescopic dentures fit perfectly on the prepared base. The result is a secure and attractive-looking denture.
- An angulated denture created without metal. It is ideal for patients who are allergic to metal. The basis of the construction is a reliable acetalan material. The prosthesis is fixed with soft clips that are safe for enamel. Acetal construction is as strong as metal products and fully replaces lost teeth. A biopolymer identical to the patient's dental shade is used in the fabrication of the denture. Metal-free dentures come in partial dentures and bilateral dentures. When the construction is placed on the upper jaw, the palate is not completely covered, which guarantees a sense of taste.

How are partial dentures at Denta-Pro?
The Denta-Pro partial denture work is done in stages.
- The patient is examined by the dentist.
- The patient's jaw is examined by an apparatus. If necessary, an x-ray may be taken.
- The jaws are scanned with a 3-D tomography scan.
- Frames and crowns are modeled and fabricated (about a week).
- The prosthesis is tried on or adjusted.
- The restoration is set in place.
- The orthopedist instructs the patient on how to use the partial denture.
Our laboratory manufactures different types of partial dentures. The whole process of partial denture fitting takes place in the clinic, from the examination of the patient to the fabrication of dentures and their installation. If you have problems with your teeth make an appointment with an orthopedic dentist at Denta-Pro by filling out an application or calling us. A visit to our clinic is a guarantee of a beautiful smile and the joy of communication.
At the first consultation, the doctor will tell you in detail about which teeth need to be treated first, about the condition of your gums and about which design you need to choose in order to fill in the missing teeth.
About what actions and manipulations need to be carried out. Learn how to take good care of your mouth so you don't have to go to the dentist as often as possible.
After discussing the above aspects, your dentist will draw up a treatment plan, guide you by the stages, timing, cost of the upcoming treatment, make, if necessary, computer diagnostics of the teeth and make an appointment for you at a convenient time for you to start treatment.
It is worth restoring a lost tooth as early as possible, because delaying such a process can lead to unpleasant health consequences and undesirable costs in the future.
Patients who seek help for tooth loss too late unwittingly start the process of destruction of other adjacent teeth, because the load during chewing is not evenly distributed.
Dental implantation is one of the most reliable and effective procedures that allows you to restore one or more teeth.
The method of dental implantation is now very popular, because it helps patients to restore lost teeth both in the upper and lower jaws without grinding pine teeth, which is always carried out during prosthetics (crowns).
With implantation, the number of lost teeth does not matter. Dental implantation is considered to be the only right way out of care for everyone, because the healing rate of implants today is over 99%!
