Prosthetic dental treatments include fixed and removable prosthetic options used to restore function and appearance when teeth are missing, have extensive loss of tooth structure or require restoration.
When prosthetic dental treatment is planned in Bodrum, the existing teeth and gums, the position of missing teeth, bite relationships and individual functional needs are considered together.
Prosthodontic planning addresses lost tooth structure or missing teeth using restorations such as crowns, bridges, removable dentures and implant-supported prostheses.
Treatment selection is based on whether existing teeth can be retained, oral hygiene, bone and gum conditions and chewing requirements.
Zirconia-based or monolithic zirconia restorations are ceramic options that may be used for crowns and bridges in suitable cases.
Material selection takes into account tooth position, remaining tooth structure, bite forces and aesthetic requirements.
Crowns are fixed restorations that surround teeth with extensive loss of structure or teeth that require structural support. Different ceramic-based materials may be used.
Whether a tooth is suitable for a crown and the amount of preparation required are determined through clinical assessment.
Bridges are fixed prostheses supported by neighbouring teeth or implants to replace one or more missing teeth.
Bridge planning considers the condition of supporting teeth, the span of the missing-tooth area and the ability to maintain oral hygiene.
Removable dentures may be considered when some or all teeth are missing. The type of denture is determined according to the remaining teeth and supporting tissues.
Adaptation and use vary from person to person; regular reviews and denture cleaning are important.
Precision-attachment dentures are one type of removable prosthesis that may be supported by remaining teeth or fixed restorations in suitable cases.
Suitability depends on the condition of supporting teeth and the overall oral treatment plan.
During examination, the existing teeth, gums, bite relationship and areas of missing teeth are assessed. Conventional impressions, digital scans or radiographic images may be used when required.
Provisional restorations, laboratory stages and try-in appointments may vary according to the type of treatment.
