Prosthetics

The loss of teeth or their serious damage can affect not only your smile, but also your ability to chew food, speak clearly, and feel confident in your daily life.

Prosthetic dentistry offers effective solutions for restoring the functionality and overall aesthetics of your smile, using modern technologies and materials that guarantee long-lasting and natural-looking results.

What is prosthodontics?

Prosthetic dentistry is a specialized field in modern dental medicine that deals with the diagnosis, planning, and restoration of teeth that are missing, severely damaged, or devitalized. This field includes the manufacture and placement of crowns, bridges, dentures, and other dental structures that restore both the appearance and function of the teeth.

At Dentatime Clinic, we perform prosthetics after thorough consultation and treatment planning, taking into account the health status of each patient.

What types of prosthetic procedures do we perform?

Prosthetic dentistry at Dentatime Clinic covers the treatment of problems caused by missing, damaged, or devitalized teeth. Our solutions vary according to the individual needs of each patient and can be summarized in several basic categories.

Dental crowns and bridges

Metal-ceramic crowns are a classic option for restoring the function and shape of teeth. At Dentatime Clinic, we offer advanced metal-ceramic options that minimize the disadvantages of traditional designs – the well-known darkening of the gum around the crown due to oxidative processes in the mouth, lower light transmission, and the likelihood of an allergic reaction to the metal alloy.This is a precisely crafted dental crown with a ceramic coating on the edge and galvanization with precious metals on its inner surface. A metal-ceramic dental bridge is an excellent choice for restoring missing teeth, using adjacent teeth or dental implants as support in place of the missing tooth.

Adhesive bridges

An adhesive bridge is a minimally invasive solution for restoring one or two missing teeth, which does not require extensive grinding of the adjacent teeth. The structure is bonded to the adjacent teeth using special adhesive techniques, preserving as much of the tooth structure as possible.

Combined prosthetics

Combined prosthetics is a combination of permanent prostheses (crowns, bridges) and removable elements, which is suitable for complex clinical cases. This approach provides optimal functionality and aesthetics by utilizing the advantages of different types of constructions.

Removable prosthetics

Removable prosthetics are performed using various types of removable prostheses.

Soft ThermoSens prostheses (silicone)

Silicone dentures are a modern alternative to standard plastic removable dentures. This modern material offers many advantages – exceptional lightness, high aesthetics thanks to invisible retaining elements (hooks), unbreakable construction and hypoallergenic properties, which means that it does not cause allergic reactions.

Plastic dentures (partial or full)

A traditional, quick, and economical solution for dental prosthetics. Three-layer teeth are used in the manufacture of these dental prostheses, which give the structures a more natural appearance and strength.

Night guards for bruxism

This is a recommended solution for bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching). The manufacture of soft or hard splints is part of the complex treatment of bruxism, as it may also include bite elevation with crowns or overlays and medication. This protects the teeth from further wear, tooth abrasion, and sensitivity.

Snoring and Apnoea Treatment with Silensor-sl (Snoreguard) – ERKODENT

This is a clinically tested device that is effective in eliminating snoring and apnea. The individually crafted splints on both jaws are connected laterally by two links that move the lower jaw forward and free up space for more air to enter the lungs.

The soft tissues do not vibrate (snoring), while at the same time the patient can move their lower jaw. This makes the device extremely comfortable and highly effective – it reduces snoring by up to 90% and sleep apnea by up to 50%.

When do we need prosthetics?

Dental prosthetics are necessary in various situations.

The main cases are:

Missing one or more teeth.
Severely damaged teeth that cannot be restored with a filling.
Devitalized teeth after root canal treatment that need strengthening.
Broken teeth.
Severely worn teeth due to bruxism.
Aesthetic problems – discolored, deformed, or unaesthetic teeth.
Need to raise the bite in worn teeth.
After implant treatment, when implants need to be covered with crowns.

It is important to consult a specialist in a timely manner to avoid complications such as tooth displacement, bite problems, or bone loss.

How does the process work?

The prosthetics process at Dentatime Clinic is structured and designed to ensure maximum comfort and excellent results.

Initial consultation and diagnosis

During the first visit, a detailed examination of the condition of your teeth and gums is performed, including an X-ray. We discuss your complaints and expectations and choose the most appropriate solution for your case.

Treatment planning

After the diagnosis, an individual treatment plan is drawn up, which includes the type of construction, materials, number of visits, and approximate timeframes. If necessary, a digital smile design is performed so that you can see the expected result in advance.

Preparation of the teeth

When the original tooth is severely damaged and only the root remains, dental posts are used before placing crowns. They provide a stable foundation for the prosthetic construction and extend the life of the tooth.

Manufacturing in a dental laboratory

The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where experienced dental technicians fabricate the individual construction according to the exact parameters and selected material.

At Dentatime Clinic, we use one of the most advanced, latest models of intraoral scanners, which provide information about the movements of the lower jaw and the contacts between the teeth of both jaws and are also used in digital implantology for comprehensive treatment with dental implants.

Finalization

When the construction is ready, the prosthesis is placed, and the fit, occlusion (bite), and aesthetics are checked. If necessary, fine adjustments are made to achieve complete comfort, as offered by established aesthetic dental medicine of the highest level.

Advantages of prosthetic dentistry

Prosthetic dentistry offers a number of benefits for the patient.

At Dentatime Clinic, you get:

Functional restoration – restoration of normal chewing, speech, and jaw function.

Smile aesthetics – natural-looking structures that fit perfectly into your smile.

Prevention of adjacent teeth shifting after tooth loss.

Improved self-esteem and quality of life.

Long-lasting solutions with proper maintenance and dental hygiene.

Can be combined with implant treatment for optimal results.

Prosthetics not only restore lost teeth, but also protect the remaining teeth from overload and prevent further complications in the future.

Preliminary preparation

Prior preparation is necessary before starting prosthetics.

This may include:

Root canal treatment of teeth with damaged nerves.

Removal of old crowns or fillings.

Treatment of gums and periodontal tissues in case of inflammation.

Professional cleaning and dental hygiene.

Extraction (removal) of teeth that cannot be saved.

If necessary, implant treatment for placing implants as a support for future structures.

Preparation is an important step that provides a solid foundation for prosthetic treatment and long-term success of the structures.
