Dental prosthesis

Obtaining a dental prosthesis, also known as dentures, is a process that consists of several steps. Below is a brief overview of the process:

  1. Consultation: The first step is a visit to the dentist or dental prosthetist, who will examine your teeth and determine whether a dental prosthesis is suitable for your situation.
  2. Learn about the prosthesis: It’s important to research the advantages and disadvantages of a prosthesis. Look online or ask others who already have one about their experiences. Your dentist or practitioner can also provide you with more information. Below are some of the advantages and disadvantages of a prosthesis.
  3. Taking impressions: Impressions of the jaw are made using a tray and special impression material. These impressions will serve as the basis for creating the prosthesis.
  4. Bite registration: To ensure that the upper and lower jaws fit together correctly, a bite registration is made. This can be done using a wax bite or another tool.
  5. Trial prosthesis: Based on the impressions and bite registration, the dental technician creates a trial prosthesis. This is placed in the mouth to check if it fits well and if any adjustments are needed.
  6. Final prosthesis: After any necessary adjustments, the final dental prosthesis is made. It is tried in the mouth again and, if needed, further refined until it fits comfortably and functions properly.
  7. Aftercare: It’s important to regularly visit the dentist or dental prosthetist to ensure the prosthesis still fits well and to detect any issues early. Additionally, maintaining and cleaning the dental prosthesis properly is essential.

This is a brief overview of the process of obtaining a dental prosthesis. Some steps may be combined or skipped depending on the practitioner and their approach, such as in cases of emergency or when creating a temporary prosthesis.

Benefits of a Dental Prosthesis

Improved aesthetics

A dental prosthesis can enhance the appearance of your smile by replacing missing teeth and providing a more uniform look.

Restored functionality

If your chewing and/or speech abilities are impaired, wearing a dental prosthesis can make chewing and speaking easier, leading to better nutrition intake and clearer communication.

Drawbacks of a Dental Prosthesis

Adjustment period

It may take some time to get used to wearing a dental prosthesis, and you may experience discomfort or pain at first. This may last for a while.

Limitations

While dental prostheses can improve the functionality of your mouth, there are some limitations, such as the ability to eat hard or sticky foods.

Bone resorption

When teeth are removed, the jawbone can begin to shrink. Long-term use of a dental prosthesis can also cause bone deterioration over time, leading to a less stable fit and potentially requiring additional treatments. The shape of your face may also be affected due to the loss of jawbone, but this will be addressed as much as possible with the dental prosthesis.

I‘ve been going here for a while now and I genuinely think this is the best experience I‘ve ever had at a dentist. I‘m very scared of the dentist because of bad experiences in my childhood, but everyone here is very nice and I really feel comfortable here! I got my wisdom teeth removed here, it went very well and I was really happy with how I was treated. I now come regularly for dental cleanings and the young woman who does them for me is sooo nice, I feel really comfortable with her and love coming to her! Also everyone can speak English which is nice since I‘m an international student. I highly recommend :)
