Prosthodontics refers to the branch of dentistry focused on the restoration of oral function and aesthetics in cases where parts of teeth, entire teeth, or even all teeth have been lost. It also includes the rehabilitation of larger areas of oral and facial tissues when necessary.
Prosthodontic Treatments Include
- Dental Crowns made from various materials (all-ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, zirconia, etc.)
- Dental Bridges fabricated using corresponding materials
- Inlays & Onlays
- Partial and Full Dentures
- Prosthodontic treatment involves the restoration of teeth with extensive loss of tooth structure, as well as the replacement of missing teeth.
Why Prosthodontic Treatment Is Important
Successful prosthodontic treatment is essential not only for improving the aesthetic appearance of the mouth, but also for restoring proper chewing and speech function. It helps prevent the shifting and spacing of teeth within the dental arch and reduces the risk of developing pathological conditions affecting the jaws.
When a missing tooth is left untreated for an extended period, the surrounding gum tissue may recede, and the resulting gap can cause adjacent teeth to shift out of position. Delayed prosthodontic rehabilitation often makes treatment more complex, more costly, and in some cases may prevent a full return to the original condition.
