Dental prostheses are fixed or removable restorations that replace missing teeth and aim to support chewing and speech. The option depends on the number of missing teeth and the oral structure.
Who may be suitable?
- People missing one or more teeth
- Those who are unhappy with their current denture
- Those who want to consider options other than implants
How does the process work?
- The oral condition is assessed with an examination and any necessary imaging.
- Your dentist explains fixed bridge, removable denture or implant-supported options.
- Impressions are taken; the prosthesis is prepared and tried over several appointments.
- Fit is checked after it is placed.
After treatment and care
Daily cleaning of the prosthesis is important. Remove removable dentures at night as your dentist advises and store them properly. There can be an adjustment period; come in for a check if you feel discomfort.
