About prosthesis in brief
Why is dental prosthesis important?
Immediate improvement in life quality
It is possible to live with painful, sensitive or chipped teeth, but at great costs. With our prosthesis solutions, you can enjoy everyday life again.
Aesthetics and self-confidence
Instead of broken, chipped, missing teeth, imagine how it will feel like to smile with confidence again!
Avoiding health complications
Tooth loss can also lead to the loss of healthy teeth or deformation of the jaw.
what types of dental prosthesis exist?
Prosthesis is an intervention to restore lost or damaged teeth, which is not only important from an aesthetic point of view, but is also essential to improve chewing function and speech. The types of prostheses available can be divided into several types depending on whether you are looking for a fixed or removable solution.
Fixed prosthesis:
A fixed prosthesis is a permanent solution that is placed by a dentist and cannot be removed at home.
- Crown: A dental crown is necessary when an existing tooth is significantly damaged or weakened but can still be saved. A crown acts as a “cap” to cover the tooth to restore its shape, size and strength.
- Dental bridge: a dental bridge is a solution used to replace missing teeth. A dental bridge is a device used to fill the gap between two or more teeth with crowns that are attached to existing teeth or implants.
- Veneers: dental veneers are thin, aesthetic solutions that are placed on the front surface of the teeth. They are ideal for treating aesthetic problems such as discolouration or malformations.
What materials can fixed prostheses be made of?
- Metal-ceramic: a metal-framed, ceramic-encased crown that combines the stability of metal with the aesthetics of ceramic.
- Zirconium: Zirconium crowns are completely metal-free, extremely durable and natural-looking.
- Pressed ceramic: made of pure ceramic, it is the ideal solution for those who want the maximum aesthetic result.
Types of veneers:
We distinguish between so-called direct and indirect veneers.
- The e.max veneers are made of high aesthetic quality ceramics that perfectly match the natural tooth colour.
- Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic plates that provide a durable solution for correcting minor aesthetic flaws.
- Direct veneers made from composite material applied directly to the tooth are a faster and more cost-effective solution.
Removable prosthesis:
Removable prosthesis can be removed at home at any time, making them an ideal solution for those who have lost several teeth or a complete set of teeth.
Complete dentures (prosthesis): in cases of complete tooth loss, a prosthesis restores the tooth structure, improving chewing and speech.
Partial dentures: used in cases of partial tooth loss, where the replacement is attached to the existing teeth with clasps to ensure stability of the denture.
Combined prosthesis:
Combination prosthesis use a combination of fixed and removable elements to provide maximum functionality and comfort.
Telescopic prosthesis: the telescopic system consists of two parts: a fixed and a removable part, which ensures a stable and comfortable fit.
Sliding prosthesis: it is a combination of fixed crowns and removable dentures, providing a solid yet removable solution.

Frequently asked questions
How painful is the tooth replacement process?
The local anaesthesia used during tooth replacement ensures that the patient does not feel any pain during the procedure. The preparation and fixation is also a painless procedure, but there may be some minor post-operative pain or sensitivity, which can be treated with painkillers. The doctor will make sure that the patient is comfortable throughout the whole process.
How long does it take to make a prosthesis?
Depending on the type of tooth replacement, it usually takes 2-4 weeks to complete. From the first consultation to the final restoration, several steps are required, such as taking impressions, trying on and then final fixing. If you would like a quicker procedure, in some cases accelerated tooth replacement solutions are available.
What care does a fixed prosthesis require?
The care of fixed dentures is similar to that of natural teeth: brushing twice a day, flossing and regular dental check-ups are required. Special tools, such as interdental brushes or mouthwashes, are also recommended to keep particularly hard-to-reach areas clean.
How long does a dental prosthesis lasts?
Depending on the material and the patient’s oral hygiene habits, the lifespan of dental restorations can be up to 10-15 years. Dentures made of good quality materials can last longer if properly cared for. With regular dental check-ups and good oral care, the life of a dental prosthesis can be extended.
Which material should I choose for my prosthesis?
The choice of material depends on the patient’s needs, aesthetic requirements and budget. Metal-ceramic crowns are durable and affordable, while zirconium and press-ceramic restorations offer a more natural look and a metal-free solution. Your dentist can help you choose the right material for your individual needs.
What are the costs of a tooth replacement?
The cost of tooth replacement depends on the technique used, the materials and the complexity of the procedure. A simple crown can cost significantly less than a full bridge or implant-based restoration. An accurate quote can be given after a personal consultation. You can find our detailed price list here.
At what age can I get a dental prosthesis?
Generally, dentures are done in adults from the age of 18, when the bones are fully developed. In special cases, such as severe tooth loss, temporary restorations may be considered in adolescents. The dentist will decide on the most appropriate time and procedure at the personal consultation.
Can dentures be fitted in a diabetic patient?
Yes, dentures can be made for diabetics, but it is important that blood sugar levels are well controlled before and after the procedure. In properly treated diabetic patients, the healing process should not be a problem to successful tooth replacement.
