The absence of teeth affects not only the function of chewing, speech, but also emotional state, socialization and self-esteem. Dentures restore physiological functions, equalize the emotional background, and increase self-confidence.

The fabrication of dentures is the result of joint work of a dentist and a technician. Each stage of work affects the final result. The manufacturing process depends on the type of construction and materials used.

There are the following types of restorations to restore the tooth row:

It is so nice to complete all the denture procedures, receive your new dentures, smile openly and talk with a row of straight, white teeth. Unfortunately, the impression is sometimes spoiled by the fact that the gum under the denture hurts.

In the first few days after denture placement, discomfort and slight redness under the denture is a normal reaction of the body to a foreign body. Dentists usually warn you about this possibility. They give recommendations on how to care for the oral cavity during the period of getting used to the restoration.

If the condition of the mucous membranes does not improve after 5-7 days, redness, swelling, painful sensations increase, it is necessary to immediately consult a doctor. Also, you need to make an appointment if:

The position of the teeth when the jaws are locked together is known in dentistry as the bite. Unfortunately, not everyone has perfectly straight teeth. Most people have bite irregularities. Most often, they are small and few people notice them, but there are situations when the wrong bite is pronounced and causes a lot of inconvenience. In these cases, it is customary to install braces. But what if for some reason it is impossible to install braces? Dentistry has developed methods of correcting the bite with prosthetics, but doctors warn that it is possible to apply them in specific clinical cases, strictly according to indications.

The incisors and canines make up the smile line, any damage or defect in this area is immediately noticeable. The restoration and reconstruction of the anterior group of teeth is the most complex process of all clinical options. When replacing the supragingival part of the tooth with an artificial crown, it is necessary to achieve a harmonious combination with the adjacent units, soft tissues. The best crowns for the front teeth should have a natural shade and degree of transparency, like the real incisors. At the same time to be not only beautiful, but also strong enough.

What crowns to put on the front teeth, what method of prosthetics to choose - the doctor decides based on the clinical situation. The patient is offered several treatment options, from which he chooses the optimal one in terms of aesthetics and cost. The physical and optical …

Various prosthetic structures and materials are used to replace chewing teeth, the choice of which depends on the degree of damage to the unit. The masticatory group includes premolars (4, 5), molars (6, 7, 8) located on the sides of the tooth row. These units (except for the "eights") are millstones, whose function is to thoroughly grind food for subsequent digestion by the body. That is why crowns for chewing teeth are made of strong materials that can withstand high loads.

A dental crown is a single denture that mimics the supragingival portion of a tooth. Since premolars and molars are constantly exposed to high loads, and care for them is difficult due to the peculiarities of anatomy, location - they are more susceptible to destruction as a result of trauma, decay, other dental diseases.
