Prosthetics

The function of dentures consists firstly in the replacement of teeth and thereby the reproduction of the function of the Orofacial system - whilst taking into account optimal aesthetic appearance. With the help of dentures, the emotionally traumatic consequences resulting from the loss of teeth are avoided.

We distinguish between removable and fixed dentures.

Removable dentures

Removable denture will be necessary, if the replacement of the missing teeth by fixed denture is no longer possible.

With the so-called ‘Combined Treatment’  the remaining teeth are protected with the help of Crowns and Bridges and the manufacture of a perfect link between the fixed and removable part of the denture.

The situation of complete loss of teeth, i.e. when no more teeth remain in the mouth, can be treated with a so-called Complete Prosthesis.

Many patients are of the opinion that with total loss of teeth, it will not be possible to make a well functioning or aesthetically flawless denture and content themselves therefore with a lower quality solution. Undoubtedly, this unsatisfactory state of affairs should not be accepted since other alternatives are at our disposal which are crucial to this situation.

An expert will be well equipped to help his patients - for example with ‘load-bearing’ implant  dentures.

Fixed dentures

If enough tooth posts/columns are available, whose condition is sufficient to carry the fixed denture, so the gap can be treated with a so-called Bridge. Within a row of teeth, the absence of one tooth causes the remaining teeth to wander and lean over so that every single missing tooth must be replaced. Only in this manner therefore can damage be prevented and respectively a healthy flawless chewing function be guaranteed.

The manufacture of Crowns and Bridges is a very complex process, which requires a close cooperation between the dentist and dental technician.

In the VitalCenter dentures are of the highest quality, manufactured from the most modern materials and with the best dental technical support.
