Prosthetics

Missing teeth should absolutely be replaced. The replacement of the front teeth is important not only for aesthetical reasons but also for properly food biting, while the replacement of the back teeth is important for a proper food crushing and grinding but also for the stability and function of the entire lower third of the face and jaw. Besides, a strong anchorage prevents a continuing loss of other teeth.

Missing teeth can be replaced by modern fixed (crowns and dental bridges), mobile (dentures) and combined prosthetics (fixed and mobile works and implants).

Crowns are fixed substitutes for an extensively damaged tooth that still has its roots, covering its crown giving a complete aesthetical effect. The colour, form, size and location of a tooth can be corrected by a crown; the crown prevents the breakage of the rest of the tooth and a mislocation of the row of teeth.

A dental bridge is a construction missing teeth are replaced with, resp. a partly toothless jaw is bridged over in a range of one to several teeth. They are fixed to the neighbouring teeth by crowns.

Dentures are so-called artificial teeth serving as substitutes for partly toothless or completely toothless jaws, so there are partial dentures and total dentures.
The biggest disadvantage of dentures is the fact that they can be taken out of the mouth, and although it is recommended to keep them as long as possible within your mouth, most patients refuse dentures.

The patient can decide to have a prosthetic substitute be made out of cheaper qualitative materials like acrylat or out of that highly qualitative metal-free material, which is porcelain, resp. ceramic. We apply the best German ceramics or as requested abrasive ceramics in combination with high quality metals (gold, titanium or zircon).

Don’t forget the social aspect of proper and healthy teeth in everyday contact and at your place of employment. Beautiful teeth will strengthen your self-confidence and your satisfaction
