Dental prostheses are treatments that are done with the aim of replacing missing teeth and molars.
The purpose of dental prostheses varies, depending on each case.
Speech, bite, and aesthetics are the main reasons for implementing dental prosthesis treatment.

What is a dental prosthesis?
Dental prostheses are artificial devices (there are various types), but they all share the same purpose: to restore the anatomy of the tooth. For this reason, all dental prostheses are custom-made with the most suitable material for the patient: porcelain and acrylic are the most common. Depending on the case, they can be made of metal-ceramic or zirconia.
In Asistencia Dental Plus We have professionals specializing in implants that meet your needs, both functional and aesthetic. Often, people put off getting a dental prosthesis, which ends up causing a more serious problem with pronunciation or crowding of the teeth.
Maintaining good oral health is more complicated when a tooth is missing because it is more difficult to practice proper habits at home, and this results in a greater risk of developing oral diseases.
Type of Dental Prosthesis
Within the world of prostheses, there are: fixed and removable ones.
-
Fixed Prostheses
The most common fixed prostheses are those of “"Crown"” These are designed to be placed over the teeth (which have been previously prepared). They are manufactured taking into account the color and size of the other teeth.
Implant-supported fixed prostheses are secured by screws previously placed within the jawbone. The goal of this treatment is to achieve full functionality of all teeth and improved dental aesthetics.
-
Removable Prostheses
Removable dentures are those that the patient can remove themselves whenever they want. They are the most practical option for people who are not candidates for dental implants with fixed prostheses. In some cases, the patient's oral health does not allow for a fixed prosthesis, and when this occurs, a removable denture is the best option.
If the patient has several edentulous areas, a removable partial denture with a skeletal structure is ideal. Thanks to the metal alloys, it will have greater stability without the need for clasps.
