\n What is prosthodontics? <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n
\n

Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry that enables the physiological functions of the mouth to be regained<\/strong>: eating, speaking, pronouncing, chewing, swallowing, sucking, breathing, kissing and smiling.<\/p>\n

This treatment is applicable when the patient has suffered to loss of one or more teeth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It consists of designing and making dental prosthetics<\/strong> as well as the curative treatment of the tooth or teeth that have been damaged for any reason. The design for the treatment starts at the moment in which the tissues have recovered.<\/p>\n

At present, it has become the best alternative for replacing a lost tooth, whether fully or partially<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n What kinds of prosthodontic treatments are available? <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n
\n

There are a number of types and materials, including veneers, crowns, bridges, porcelain teeth and zirconium prosthetics, each of which can be adapted to suit the patient’s needs.<\/p>\n

Veneers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Veneers are a kind of porcelain or composite coating that are stuck to the outer layer of the tooth<\/strong> to improve its appearance.<\/p>\n

Crowns<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a kind of tooth-shaped cover that’s placed on the <\/strong>crown <\/strong>of the tooth that’s covered by dental cement to resemble a real tooth.<\/p>\n

Porcelain teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main purpose of this treatment is to replace <\/strong>tooth crowns<\/strong> with an appearance similar to a real tooth. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Zirconium prosthetic<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are zirconium crowns that eliminate the unsightly dark line between the tooth and the gum <\/strong>by doing away with the metal structure, as they’re 100% made with zirconium, a biocompatible material that gives the tooth a natural white, translucent colour.<\/p>\n

These zirconium structures are produced using computer designed CAD-CAM technology.\u00a0 Once the structure has been made, the ceramic is applied, resulting in a much more attractive prosthetic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
