Prosthodontics
Prosthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the replacement of missing teeth and the associated soft and hard tissues with prosthetic devices. These prosthetic devices may be removable or fixed appliances, and they are custom made to suit each individual’s mouth. Using prosthodontics, we help rehabilitate and recapture the beauty and function of your teeth.
Types of Prosthodontics devices:
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a series of metal frame posts that are surgically positioned into the jawbone of a patient by a dental professional. Once in place, teeth can be mounted onto these posts- offering a secure, comfortable and permanent solution for people with specific oral health needs.
Dentures
Tooth enamel generally wears away with ageing, making teeth vulnerable to decay, damage and tooth loss. Tooth loss makes it difficult for people to chew properly, and this can lead to them not consuming enough nutrients. Dentures are an excellent way to restore functionality, health, and aesthetics to your smile. We create well-made dentures that can help you speak and eat more comfortably and with confidence.
Mouthguards
Many people have a habit of grinding their teeth due to stress. Grinding and clenching of teeth can cause enamel to wear away, exposing dentine which is the sensitive part of the teeth. Grinding can also result in pain and clicking sounds. To break this habit and to protect the teeth, we create custom made mouthguards. A mouthguard is a clear rubber material device that covers and separates the front and bottom teeth. The mouthguard can also be used when playing sports to prevent trauma to the teeth during accidents.
