PROSTHETICS WARSAW

If a tooth is lost, we should decide to rebuild it as soon as possible. We have various methods of replacing missing teeth at our disposal, but the choice of the most effective one in our case is decided by the dentist based on the examination and assessment of the teeth condition.
Most often, in the case of the loss of a single tooth or several adjacent teeth, we offer a single crown or bridge on implants. The advantage of this solution is the lack of a removable denture and avoiding the need to grind adjacent healthy teeth.
For people struggling with the problem of a large or complete loss of teeth, we most often offer a dentures on implants. If the anatomical conditions are sufficient, also in this case we can offer the patient a bridge set on four or six implants, a solution without a removable denture.
However, if the anatomical conditions are not sufficient, or if the patient’s needs are different, we can offer a removable dentures stabilized on two, three or four implants – removable dentures connected to fixed restorations with sliders, clasps, bolts or telescopic crowns.
All the proposed solutions are aesthetically pleasing and significantly improve the comfort of our patients’ lives.

The range of prosthetic services concerning own teeth is very wide. Doctor in consultation with the patient decides on the choice of possible solutions. Prosthetic treatment allows for the restoration of lost teeth or damaged tooth structures. This allows for obtaining close to natural occlusal conditions and prevents the deepening of changes or eliminates their consequences. Even with a single tooth.
These treatments are aimed at restoring the function and aesthetics of the dentition. Lost structures can be rebuilt using: crowns, veneers, crown-root inlays, bridges, onlays and others. Prosthetic treatment is also used in the treatment of diseases of the temporomandibular joints.
CERAMIC VENEERS
These are thin ceramic plates that are glued to the front surface of the tooth. Indications for use: unsightly gaps between front teeth, teeth discoloration that is difficult to whiten, tooth shape that is unacceptable to the patient, uneven tooth alignment, enamel fracture, edge and angle defects, underdevelopment of enamel and dentin.
COMPOSITE VENEERS
They are an alternative to porcelain ones. They are much cheaper, but also less durable and prone to discoloration. Ideal for small dental defects because it preserves more of the natural tooth structure.
CROWN-ROOT INLAYS
A tooth fractured or damaged by caries can often be restored with a crown-root inlay. The inlays can be used in any tooth that has been properly endodontically treated. A crown-root inlay is most often a foundation for a crown or as a reinforcement of a tooth, which will serve as a bridge pillar in the future.
PROSTHETIC CROWNS
If the tooth is damaged to the extent that a standard composite reconstruction is impossible, a prosthetic crown should be made. It is a permanently cemented restoration. The crown can be made on a metal or zirconium oxide foundation. The latter is a more aesthetic solution, because there is no risk of its exposure. Indications for the use of prosthetic crowns: they restore a decayed tooth or a tooth after trauma, improve tooth shape, size and color, after root canal treatment, after cementing a crown-root inlay.
DENTAL BRIDGES
Bridges are dental restorations used for single or multiple missing teeth. They have a span, or missing tooth(s), and two pillars – the teeth adjacent to the gap. Dental bridges fill from 1-3 tooth gaps.
The bridge is suspended on the patient’s own pillar teeth and restores the missing teeth both aesthetically and functionally. The most popular bridges are those made of porcelain on zirconium oxide or on metal. PMMA bridges are also used. They are temporary restorations (for several months) used when we need to postpone the construction of the final bridge for various reasons. The indication is missing teeth, provided that properly located pillar teeth are present.
INLAY, ONLAY AND OVERLAY
are three different types of filling teeth cavities. What they have in common is that they are used to replace tooth cavity (caused for example by decay), and they are all fillings made in a prosthetic laboratory.
They are usually made of composite or porcelain, at the special request of the dentist.
RELAXATION SPLINT
Prosthetics is a branch of dentistry that deals not only with treating patients with missing teeth. It also treats temporomandibular joint disorders and premature bite contacts.
If the patient is qualified for prosthetic treatment after an analysis of the occlusal conditions, a relaxation splint is most often made for him.
The relaxation splint covers the entire upper dental arch, is made of clear acrylic material, usually soft around the gums, and hard on the chewing surface. Treatment consists of placing a splint on the teeth overnight and it lasts 6 – 18 months. The relaxation splint will relax your muscles, protect your joints and keep your teeth from abrasion.
BRUXISM TREATMENT
Bruxism is the involuntary teeth clenching or grinding, causing gradual tooth abrasion or loosening, resulting in joint damage and muscle hypertrophy. Such pains intensify after a night’s rest.
A relaxation splint is used to treat bruxism. Severe cases of bruxism, are treated with botulinum toxin, which is injected into the masseter muscle to cause paralysis and prevent the muscle contractions and jaw clenching.

Bonding is a non-invasive method of aesthetic tooth restoration. We use composite resins to make it possible to get rid of unsightly discoloration, brighten the color of teeth, replenish abrasions, chippings, and even close diastemas. The effect is achieved immediately, but it is temporary (bonding durability is estimated at 3-5 years). Before bonding, the teeth must be cleaned of decay and the periodontium must be healthy. The procedure is completely painless. A more durable and natural-looking alternative to bonding are porcelain veneers.

In case of multiple teeth loss or toothlessness, until recently the most common solution was a denture, or so-called artificial teeth. Removable prosthetic restorations are those that patient can put in and take out independently.
Due to the material of manufacture, they can be divided into acrylic, acron, nylon and skeletal prostheses.
When it comes to the construction of removable dentures, there are complete and partial restorations. The latter supplement the lack of one or more teeth on one or both sides of the dental arch in the maxilla or mandible.
Complete ones, on the other hand, are a full restoration of all teeth. With dentures, you can get rid of many of the problems caused by missing teeth, but if they do not fit well or are not cared for properly, they can lead to a number of new problems. Fortunately, modern medicine makes it possible to replace uncomfortable, unsightly and non-functional dentures with implants.

The visualization of the smile is created in a specialized program, which, based on the photos taken by the doctor, gives the opportunity to “impose” virtual crowns on one’s own teeth.
The patient has the opportunity to participate in the design of the future smile (he can propose the shape, color, length) and accept a satisfactory result.
After the graphic simulation, the doctor transfers the designed smile to the patient’s teeth.

Using a scanner, the doctor records the occlusal conditions, which are then sent to the prosthetic laboratory. The prosthetic technician analyzes the patient’s situation with the attending physician and, using specialized equipment, designs the functionally and aesthetically “ideal” shape of the new teeth. Thanks to this method, doctor has the opportunity to check the function of the bite, and the patient can “try on” the final effect.

Veneers are thin “flakes” with very high mechanical strength. They bring an amazing aesthetic effect! With the help of veneers, it is possible to lighten a tooth, give it a beautiful shape and color, lengthen it, widen it, restore abrasions or eliminate gaps between the teeth. Non-prep veneers are veneers that do not require enamel preparation (in other words, grinding). Each living tooth with a non-prep veneer changes its appearance, shape and color, while keeping the structure of the enamel tissue intact. Ultra-thin veneers, compared to traditional veneers, do not require prior preparation of the tooth.
Once the patient approves the smile design, it only takes two visits two weeks apart to enjoy the smile of your dreams. In addition, by choosing porcelain veneers, we can achieve an extremely natural effect, because porcelain, due to its translucency, is the best imitation of natural tooth enamel. The durability of porcelain veneers is estimated at 15-20 years.
