Dental Prosthetics at Dent VIP Dental Clinic in Chisinau
Damaged or missing teeth can be a source of not only discomfort and pain but also decreased self-confidence. Dental prosthetics is a procedure that helps restore lost functions of the dentition and return an aesthetic appearance to the smile. The Dent VIP dental clinic in Chisinau offers modern prosthetics methods adapted to the individual needs of each patient.
Types of Dental Prosthetics
Dental prosthetics involves the use of various orthopedic structures, which can be fixed or removable. At Dent VIP, patients can choose from:
- Fixed prosthetics: veneers, lumineers, crowns, bridges.
- Removable prosthetics: partial or complete dentures.
Fixed Prosthetics
Veneers: Restoring Aesthetics
Veneers are thin plates that cover the front surface of the teeth, improving their appearance. They are particularly useful for correcting minor defects.
Advantages of veneers:
- Allow changing the color and shape of the teeth.
- Hide chips, cracks, and darkening of the enamel.
- Can correct visual imperfections, such as slight misalignment of teeth.
Example: A patient wanted to get rid of stains on the tooth enamel that could not be whitened. By installing porcelain veneers, she got straight, white teeth and confidence in her smile.
Lumineers: Ultra-Thin Coverings
Lumineers are even thinner than veneers, made of porcelain, and attached to the teeth without prior grinding.
Features of lumineers:
- Do not require significant interference with the tooth structure.
- Ideal for patients who want to preserve natural enamel.
- Transform the smile, giving teeth whiteness and smoothness.
Example: A patient with uneven teeth and yellowed enamel chose lumineers. The procedure took only a few visits, and now his teeth look perfectly straight and white.
Explanation: Lumineers are a modern alternative to traditional veneers. They are recommended for patients who want to avoid invasive procedures such as tooth grinding.
Dental Prosthetics with Crowns
If a tooth is severely damaged due to decay or injury, a crown may be the best solution. It completely covers the tooth, protecting it and restoring functions.
Advantages of crowns:
- Provide tooth strength.
- Improve appearance by restoring the tooth to its natural shape.
- Made of durable materials such as metal-ceramic, ceramic, or zirconium.
Example: A patient with a crack on the crown of a front tooth went to the clinic, experiencing pain when chewing and embarrassment due to a cosmetic defect. At the Dent VIP clinic, he received a zirconium crown, which not only completely restored chewing function but also perfectly matched the shape and color of adjacent teeth. After treatment, the patient noted that his smile now looked natural, and the discomfort disappeared, which restored his self-confidence.
Explanation: Crowns are often used if a tooth is so damaged that it cannot be restored with a filling. They serve as protection and restore functionality.
Bridges: Replacing Missing Teeth
Bridges are a structure that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. The prosthesis is fixed on adjacent teeth and fills gaps in the dentition.
Advantages of bridges:
- Effectively replace missing teeth.
- Restore aesthetic appearance and chewing function.
- Made of the same materials as crowns for strength and durability.
Example: A patient lost two teeth due to injury. At the Dent VIP clinic, he was offered a bridge that quickly restored the functionality of the dentition and appearance.
Explanation: Bridges are suitable for patients who do not have the option of installing implants. It is a reliable and proven way to restore the dentition.
Removable Prosthetics
Removable dentures are used if it is necessary to replace a significant number of teeth or the entire dentition.
- Partial dentures: Used to restore several teeth. They are attached to the remaining teeth and are easily removable.
- Complete dentures: Used when the patient has lost all teeth. They are created individually for the patient’s jaw shape.
Example: A patient with a complete absence of teeth chose complete dentures. Dent VIP specialists made dentures that fit snugly to the gums and look natural.
Explanation: Removable dentures are made of modern materials, providing comfort and a natural look.
