Prosthetic Dentistry

What is Prosthetic (Prosthetic) Dentistry?

Today, the science of prosthetic dentistry, also known as aesthetic dentistry, sometimes works with other dentistry specialties such as orthodontics in a multidisciplinary approach. Prosthodontists, or prosthodontists, basically deal with replacing the damaged or lost tooth with prosthesis applications. At this point, it is important that the prosthesis to be preferred is determined according to the needs of the patient and that the prosthesis is the same size and color as the natural teeth. Due to the use of prosthetic teeth instead of existing tissue, prosthetic dental treatments are often also known as aesthetic dental treatment. At this point, although the aesthetic appearance is very important, the important issue in the treatment of prosthetic teeth is to regain the chewing and speaking skills of the person.

To Whom Prosthetic Dentistry Treatment is Applied?

Prosthetic dental treatment is mostly applied to patients who are late for treatment. Thus, the lost tooth or teeth can be regained with different types of prosthesis. Prosthetic treatment methods make the person feel better in terms of function and aesthetics. While the chewing and speaking function is restored to the person, it is ensured that the person feels good in terms of comfort and aesthetics. In this sense, prosthetic dental treatments are one of the important branches of dentistry. Materials used in prosthetic dental treatment are in a wide range.
