What is a dental prosthesis?

Dental prostheses at Clínica Microdental in Huércal Overa and Mojácar are one of the most requested solutions by our patients who have experienced partial or total tooth loss. This treatment not only restores the aesthetics of the mouth, but also improves the function of chewing and swallowing food.

Types of prostheses

Removable prostheses

Removable prostheses are dental devices designed to replace missing teeth and can be removed and placed by the patient as needed. These prostheses are a flexible and accessible option to restore mouth function and aesthetics, allowing for better chewing and speech, as well as preventing problems in dental alignment.

Their ease of cleaning and maintenance makes them a convenient choice for those seeking an effective and adaptable solution to tooth loss.

Fixed prostheses

Fixed prostheses are dental devices that are permanently cemented or screwed to natural teeth or dental implants, offering a durable solution to replace lost teeth. Unlike removable prostheses, these ca

ot be removed by the patient, which provides greater stability and functionality.

Fixed prostheses help restore the natural appearance of the smile, improve chewing and speech, and prevent displacement of adjacent teeth. They are an ideal option for those seeking a permanent and reliable solution to tooth loss.

Hybrid prostheses

Hybrid prostheses combine elements of fixed and removable prostheses, offering a versatile solution for tooth replacement. These prostheses are fixed to dental implants, providing stability and support, while the removable parts allow for easy cleaning and maintenance. Hybrid prostheses are especially useful for patients who have lost multiple teeth and are looking for an option that offers both the security of a fixed prosthesis and the convenience of a removable one. With this combination, patients can enjoy improved functionality and aesthetics, along with ease of care and adjustment.

Why is it important to replace lost dental pieces?

Replacing lost dental pieces is crucial for several reasons. First, by replacing missing teeth, functionality and the ability to chew food efficiently are restored, which directly impacts nutrition and general health.

Second, the lack of teeth can cause problems in the alignment of remaining teeth and alter the bite, which can lead to jaw pain and problems in the temporomandibular joint. Additionally, lost teeth can affect facial appearance, causing changes in bone structure and premature aging of the face.

Therefore, replacing dental pieces is fundamental to maintaining a healthy smile, good dental functionality and a balanced aesthetic appearance. At our clinic, dental prostheses are manufactured with high-quality materials such as porcelain and acrylic in specialized laboratories. The dental prosthetists on our team handle each case with precision and dedication.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental crowns last?
High-quality porcelain and zirconia crowns typically last 15-20 years or longer with proper care. Factors affecting longevity include oral hygiene, diet, grinding habits, and regular dental checkups. We provide warranties on our prosthetic work and use only premium materials for maximum durability.
What's the difference between fixed and removable prosthetics?
Fixed prosthetics (crowns, bridges, implant restorations) are permanently attached and feel most like natural teeth. Removable prosthetics (dentures) can be taken out for cleaning but may feel less stable. Implant-supported options offer the best of both worlds - stability with removability when needed.
How do I care for my dental prosthetics?
Fixed prosthetics require the same care as natural teeth - regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Removable prosthetics should be cleaned daily with special cleaners and soaked overnight. Avoid hard foods that could damage the prosthetic, and see your dentist regularly for adjustments and checkups.
