Prosthetic Dental Solutions – Permanent and Aesthetic Solutions for Missing Teeth
Prosthetic dental solutions are an excellent choice for the functional and aesthetic correction of your missing teeth. With prosthetic teeth that help you gain a healthy smile both aesthetically and functionally, you can leave all the difficulties you experience due to missing teeth behind.
What is Prosthetic Teeth?
Dentures are artificial teeth that are made to replace lost teeth. There are two main types: fixed dentures and removable dentures. Fixed dentures are bridges or implant-supported dentures that are placed on teeth and fixed. Removable dentures are removable teeth that fit perfectly into the gum.
Advantages of Prosthetic Dental Treatment
Aesthetic Appearance
Dentures provide an aesthetic appearance similar to natural teeth in place of lost teeth. The form and color of your teeth are designed to be compatible with your natural teeth.
Functional Solutions
Dentures replace the function of natural teeth in daily activities such as eating, speaking and laughing. By replacing your missing teeth with dentures, your chewing functions are restored.
Durability and Longevity
Dentures are made of high quality materials and are durable and long-lasting. With proper care and regular check-ups, they can be used for years.

Patients experiencing tooth loss
Individuals who are not suitable for or do not prefer implant treatment

Denture treatment can be applied to individuals of all ages who have lost teeth. In cases where implant treatment cannot be applied, dentures are an excellent alternative.
Types of Dentures
Fixed Prosthesis (Bridge and Implant-supported Prostheses):
They are fixed teeth that are connected to neighboring teeth in place of the missing tooth. Implant-supported dentures are fixed dentures placed on implants.
Removable Dentures:
They are removable dentures. They fit perfectly into the gum and are generally used to complete missing teeth.
Complete Dentures:
In case of complete tooth loss, they are removable dentures that cover all teeth. They are placed on the jawbone.
Partial Dentures:
They are removable dentures for people who have lost only one or more teeth. They fit perfectly into the jaw structure.
How is Prosthetic Dental Treatment Performed?
Prosthetic dental treatment is usually carried out in the following steps:
Inspection and Planning: Your dentist will evaluate your missing teeth and determine a treatment plan.
Preparation of Teeth: If a fixed prosthesis is to be applied, the adjacent teeth are prepared. For removable prostheses, jaw measurements are taken.
Prosthesis Making Process: Prosthetic teeth are made in a laboratory environment with personalized measurements.
Prosthesis Placement: The prosthetic teeth are placed appropriately and the patient is called for a check-up. Fine adjustments are made if necessary.
How Long Does Prosthetic Dental Treatment Take?
The duration of prosthetic dental treatment varies depending on the type of treatment and the patient’s oral structure. Generally, it can take 1-2 weeks for fixed prosthetics and 2-3 weeks for removable prosthetics. Additional time may be required for detailed procedures.
