Prosthodontics In Vijayawada
Prosthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry devoted to making a dental prosthesis for damaged or missing teeth. "Prosthodontics" comes from the words "prostho," meaning replacement, and "dentist," meaning teeth.
Prosthodontist at Sri Sai Swarna Dental Clinic specializes in dealing with the replacement of missing teeth and related mouth or jaw structures by bridges, dentures, or prostheses.
Prosthodontics can treat a large number of issues. Your general dental specialist might refer you to a prosthodontist if you have:
- Missing teeth.
- Severely damaged teeth
- TMJ pain or dysfunction
- Mouth or facial pain
- Cosmetic concerns
- Obstructive sleep apnea
Dental crowns: A dental crown, also known as "cap" — is a restoration that covers a severely damaged tooth. You could require a crown if you have extensive decay or a cracked tooth, or if you've had a root canal.
Dental bridges: A dental bridge replaces at least one or more missing teeth in a row. This dental prosthetic comprises of two crowns on one or the other side with artificial teeth in between them. When placed, your natural teeth anchor the crowns, and the pontics fill the gap in your smile.
Dentures: There are two main types of dentures, partial and full. Partial dentures are used to replace several inconsistently missing teeth. Full dentures replace a full curve of missing teeth. These removable products assist with restoring the capability and appearance of your smile.
Trims and onlays: If a tooth is excessively damaged to get a filling although not damaged enough to need a crown, then you could require a inlay or onlay. These custom restorations fit into your tooth structure like tiny puzzle pieces.
Dental implants: Dental implants are small threaded posts that help replace missing teeth roots. They're made using surgical-grade titanium or ceramic. Your dentist at the dental clinic in Vijayawada places them into your jawbone. Once your implants heal, a prosthodontist can restore them with crowns, bridges, or dentures.
