Fixed and removable dental prostheses in Sant Just Desvern
Regain your smile, your function, and your confidence
To smile again
The loss or damage of one or more teeth can affect much more than just the aesthetics of your smile. Speaking, chewing, smiling naturally, and even the health of the remaining teeth can be compromised when teeth are missing or severely damaged. Dental prosthetics is the specialty responsible for restoring missing teeth or reconstructing damaged teeth to restore function, comfort, and the aesthetics of your smile.
At VARCHI Dental Clinic, we understand that each patient has unique needs. That's why we design fully customized solutions that blend seamlessly with the rest of the dentition and improve long-term quality of life. Our goal is not simply to replace teeth. We strive to restore balance, function, and harmony to the entire mouth, always respecting the anatomy, facial aesthetics, and expectations of each patient.
Thanks to advances in materials, digital technology and personalized planning, current prostheses offer increasingly natural, comfortable and long-lasting results.
What is a dental prosthesis?
Dental prosthetics is the branch of dentistry responsible for restoring damaged teeth or replacing missing teeth through different types of rehabilitations designed to restore oral function and aesthetics.
When a tooth has suffered significant loss of structure or when one or more teeth are missing, a prosthesis restores chewing ability, improves the appearance of the smile, and maintains the stability of the entire dentition.
In addition to improving aesthetics, a properly planned prosthetic rehabilitation helps to distribute chewing forces correctly, protect remaining teeth, and preserve long-term oral health.
Each treatment is individually designed, taking into account the functional, anatomical, and aesthetic needs of each patient.
Solutions
Types of dental prostheses
The choice of treatment will depend on the number of teeth affected, the condition of the mouth, and the specific needs of each patient. Currently, we primarily distinguish between fixed and removable prostheses.
Fixed prosthesis
It remains permanently in the mouth and offers a sensation very similar to that of natural teeth.
Dental crowns
They cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth, restoring strength, function and aesthetics.
Dental bridges
They allow the replacement of one or more missing teeth using adjacent teeth as support.
Implant-supported prostheses
Implants act as a support for crowns or bridges, providing stability without affecting neighboring teeth.
Removable prosthesis
It can be easily removed and replaced by the patient. It currently offers comfortable, functional, and aesthetic solutions.
Removable partial denture
It replaces several teeth when natural teeth are still preserved.
Removable complete denture
It is indicated when there is a total loss of teeth and allows the recovery of chewing, aesthetics and pronunciation.
Implant-supported overdenture
It combines a removable prosthesis with implants to achieve greater stability and fixation.
Why is it important to replace missing teeth?
Many people believe that losing a tooth has no significant consequences, especially when the missing tooth is in a less visible area. However, losing a tooth can trigger a series of progressive changes that affect the entire mouth.
Neighboring teeth tend to shift into the empty space, altering alignment and bite. Opposing teeth, those that make contact during chewing, can extrude as they lose their support. Furthermore, the bone that previously supported the tooth begins to resorb progressively as it ceases to receive functional stimuli.
Instructions
What problems can a dental prosthesis solve?
Dental prostheses allow for the resolution of a wide variety of clinical situations.
The importance of personalized rehabilitation
Modern dental prosthetics is not simply about making artificial teeth. Each treatment requires a detailed study of the patient's smile, bite, chewing function, and facial features.
Tooth position, lip support, vertical dimension, and the relationship between the two dental arches directly influence the final result. Therefore, we dedicate special attention to the planning stage.
A properly designed prosthesis should integrate naturally into the smile, provide comfort during daily function, and offer long-term stability.
