Fixed Prosthesis: Permanent Solutions for a Restored Smile

Rediscover Confidence with Lasting Dental Restorations

A Fixed Prosthesis refers to a permanent dental restoration that is custom-made to replace missing teeth, restore damaged teeth, or enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Unlike removable dentures, fixed prostheses are cemented or screwed into place by a dental professional, offering superior stability, function, and a completely natural feel. They become an integrated part of your mouth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with unwavering confidence.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Permanent & Stable: Once placed, a fixed prosthesis is designed to stay in your mouth indefinitely, eliminating the need for removal and the potential for slipping or discomfort associated with removable options.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: Crafted to precisely match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing smile. They can dramatically improve the overall appearance of your teeth.
• Restored Function: Enjoy the ability to chew, speak, and smile naturally without restrictions. Fixed prostheses restore proper biting force and phonetic clarity.
• Preserves Oral Health: By filling gaps left by missing teeth, they prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, maintain proper bite alignment, and help preserve the integrity of your jawbone and facial structure.
• Superior Comfort & Feel: Because they are permanently integrated, fixed prostheses feel very much like your natural teeth, offering excellent comfort and no interference with daily activities.
• Long-Lasting Durability: Made from high-quality, biocompatible materials, fixed prostheses are designed for exceptional longevity with proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.

Types of Fixed Prostheses We Offer:

Our clinic provides a comprehensive range of fixed prostheses, tailored to meet diverse dental needs:

• Dental Crowns (Caps):
  • Purpose: Cover and protect a severely damaged, decayed, fractured, or discolored tooth. Also used after root canal treatment or to top a dental implant.
  • Benefit: Restores the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance.
• Dental Bridges:
  • Purpose: Replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap. They are anchored to healthy adjacent teeth (abutment teeth) or dental implants.
  • Benefit: Prevents remaining teeth from drifting, restores chewing function, and maintains facial aesthetics.
• Implant-Supported Crowns & Bridges:
  • Purpose: Individual crowns or multi-tooth bridges securely attached to surgically placed dental implants, which act as artificial tooth roots.
  • Benefit: Offers the most stable and natural-feeling replacement for missing teeth, stimulating the jawbone to prevent bone loss.
• Dental Veneers:
  • Purpose: Thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored material bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance.
  • Benefit: Corrects discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments for a dramatically improved smile.

Premium Materials for Optimal Results:

We utilize state-of-the-art materials to ensure the strength, durability, and aesthetic excellence of your fixed prosthesis:

• Zirconia: Known for its exceptional strength, biocompatibility, and highly aesthetic, translucent finish. Ideal for both anterior and posterior restorations.
• E-max (Lithium Disilicate): A highly aesthetic ceramic material offering excellent translucency and natural light-reflecting properties, perfect for front teeth.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): Combines the strength of a metal substructure with the natural look of porcelain for a durable and aesthetic restoration.
• All-Ceramic/Porcelain: Completely metal-free options that provide superior aesthetics, especially for patients with metal sensitivities.
• Gold Alloys: Highly biocompatible and durable, often chosen for their longevity and gentle wear on opposing teeth, particularly in molars.

3. Temporary Restoration: A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your teeth while your permanent prosthesis is being fabricated.
4. Fabrication: Your custom prosthesis is meticulously crafted in a dental laboratory.
5. Placement & Cementation: The temporary is removed, and the permanent prosthesis is fitted, adjusted, and securely bonded or screwed into place.

Ideal Candidates for Fixed Prosthesis:

• Individuals with one or more missing teeth.

• Anyone seeking a permanent, stable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for their dental concerns.

Care & Maintenance:

With proper care, your fixed prosthesis can last for many years, even decades.

• Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss once a day, paying special attention around the margins of your prosthesis.
• Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule routine examinations and professional cleanings to ensure the health of your prosthesis and surrounding natural teeth.
• Avoid Harmful Habits: Refrain from chewing on ice, hard candies, or non-food items, and avoid opening packages with your teeth.
• Wear a Nightguard (If Recommended): If you grind or clench your teeth, a custom nightguard can protect your prosthesis from excessive wear.
