Prosthetic dental treatment is a branch of dentistry focused on replacing missing or non-functional teeth with artificial ones. This treatment not only restores chewing ability but also helps maintain proper speech and the structural integrity of the oral cavity. Prosthetic solutions can be classified as either fixed or removable. Fixed prostheses, such as crowns and bridges, are bonded to the teeth, while removable prostheses can be taken in and out by the patient.

Types of Treatment

Prosthetic dental treatments are generally divided into two main categories:

• Fixed Prostheses: Crowns and bridges that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants.

• Removable Prostheses: Full or partial dentures that can be inserted and removed by the patient.

When Is Prosthetic Treatment Needed?

• To close gaps caused by tooth loss

• To restore oral functions such as chewing and speaking

• To prevent jawbone deterioration due to missing teeth

• To improve both appearance and functionality

How Does the Treatment Process Work?

The treatment begins with an intraoral examination and the taking of impressions. Prostheses are then custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory and precisely fitted to the patient. Several fitting sessions may be required to ensure comfort and functionality.
