Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They involve surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which serves as the root for a replacement tooth. Once healed, a crown or bridge is attached to the post, providing a natural look and feel. Implants are highly durable, offering a long-term option for restoring function and aesthetics.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring crowns onto surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. The metal core provides strength, while the porcelain coating mimics the appearance of natural teeth. PFM bridges are a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for tooth replacement, particularly in areas requiring strength and function.
Zirconia bridges are made from zirconium dioxide, a strong and biocompatible material that offers excellent durability and a natural appearance. These bridges are ideal for patients who want a metal-free alternative for tooth replacement. Zirconia bridges provide both strength and a highly aesthetic result, blending seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
A fiber-reinforced bridge is a dental restoration used to replace missing teeth. It consists of a framework made from fiber-reinforced composite material, which is lightweight yet durable. This type of bridge is typically bonded directly to adjacent teeth without the need for extensive tooth preparation, making it a more conservative option compared to traditional bridges. It offers a flexible, aesthetically pleasing, and cost-effective solution for replacing one missing tooth, especially in cases where a less invasive approach is desired.
Acrylic dentures, also known as traditional dentures, are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They are made from acrylic resin and can be customized to fit the patient’s gums and mouth structure. Acrylic dentures are cost-effective and provide a functional and aesthetic solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth.
Valplast dentures are made from a flexible, lightweight material that adapts to the natural contours of the mouth. This flexibility offers improved comfort and a snug fit compared to traditional acrylic dentures. Valplast dentures are also more aesthetically pleasing as they don’t require metal clasps, making them a popular option for partial tooth replacement.
Cobalt-Chromium (Co-Cr) dentures feature a metal framework that provides strength and durability while maintaining a lightweight feel. These dentures are often used for partial tooth replacement and are more robust than acrylic dentures. The metal framework is designed to fit securely, offering long-lasting comfort and function.
