The importance of dental prosthetics
The loss of one or more teeth can have a significant impact on chewing, speech, and the appearance of your smile. Dental prosthetics, whether fixed or removable, help restore these essential functions while giving patients renewed confidence.
At Soins dentaires Stephan, we offer a wide range of solutions:
- Crowns to restore a damaged tooth
- Bridges to replace one or more missing teeth
- Partial or complete dentures to replace several teeth or a full arch
Each prosthesis is custom-made, taking into account the patient’s morphology, functional and aesthetic needs, and budget.
How fabrication and placement work
The process begins with a comprehensive examination and precise impressions. For fixed prosthetics, the tooth or supporting teeth are prepared before impressions are taken, and a temporary prosthesis is placed while the final one is being made.
For removable prosthetics, we ensure a perfect fit to provide comfort and stability. Several appointments may be required to optimize shape, tooth shade, and function.
Benefits and maintenance
Fixed prosthetics provide comfort and stability similar to natural teeth, without the need for daily removal. Removable prosthetics, on the other hand, are easy to adjust and replace if needed.
Regular maintenance and check-ups are essential to ensure their longevity. Proper cleaning, adapted to the type of prosthesis, helps prevent plaque and tartar buildup.
