What is a dental prosthesis?
A dental prosthesis is an artificial device used to replace missing or damaged teeth. It can be a crown, bridge, denture, or implant, designed to restore the function and appearance of the teeth.
What are the different types of dental prostheses?
The main types include:
- Crowns: Caps placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape and size.
- Bridges: Used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth.
- Dentures: Removable appliances that replace multiple missing teeth.
- Dental Implants: Artificial tooth roots placed in the jaw to support crowns or bridges.
Who is a good candidate for a dental prosthesis?
Anyone with missing, damaged, or decayed teeth could be a candidate, but the dentist will evaluate factors like oral health, jawbone condition, and overall health before recommending a specific type.
How long do dental prostheses last?
The lifespan varies by type:
- Crowns and bridges can last 5-15 years.
- Dentures typically last 5-10 years.
- Implants can last 20 years or more with proper care.
Are dental prostheses painful?
Most procedures are not painful due to local anaesthesia. Some discomfort may occur after the procedure, but it is generally manageable with pain relief.
How do I care for my dental prosthesis?
Good oral hygiene is essential:
- Brush and floss regularly.
- Avoid hard or sticky foods that may damage the prosthesis.
- Visit our dentist regularly for check-ups.
Can I eat normally with a dental prosthesis?
Yes, most people can eat normally after adjusting to the prosthesis. However, initial soreness or difficulty may occur, especially with new dentures.
Will my dental prosthesis look natural?
Yes, modern dental prostheses are designed to closely match the colour, shape, and function of natural teeth, making them look very natural.
Are there any risks associated with dental prostheses?
As with any dental procedure, there are risks such as infection, discomfort, or issues with the fit, but these are usually manageable with proper care and follow-up visits.
Can I get a dental prosthesis if I have gum disease?
Gum disease needs to be treated before a dental prosthesis can be placed, as healthy gums are crucial for the success of the prosthetic.
