Fixed prosthetic treatment involves the permanent placement of artificial teeth to replace missing or damaged ones, restoring both the aesthetic appearance and the chewing function. This treatment provides a long-lasting solution, offering a natural look and feel, while improving oral health.
Types of Fixed Prosthetics
1. Bridges
Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the neighboring healthy teeth. They effectively fill gaps and restore the functionality and appearance of your smile.
2. Implant-Supported Prosthetics
Implant-supported prosthetics are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, providing a more stable and natural-feeling solution compared to traditional methods. These are ideal for patients seeking maximum durability and comfort.
3. Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth, primarily for cosmetic purposes. They are used to enhance the appearance of teeth with discoloration, minor misalignment, or surface damage.

The Fixed Prosthetic Treatment Process
1. Examination and Planning
Your dentist will thoroughly examine your oral condition and create a personalized treatment plan. In some cases, preliminary procedures may be required to prepare your teeth for the prosthetics.
2. Impressions and Production
Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom prosthetics in a dental laboratory. The prosthetics are designed to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring both comfort and functionality.
3. Fitting the Prosthetics
Once ready, the prosthetics are securely attached to your natural teeth or dental implants using special adhesives or implant supports. Adjustments are made to ensure a precise and comfortable fit.
