Dental prosthetics

Dental prosthetics is a medical specialty that focuses on the oral rehabilitation of lost teeth or pronounced tooth substance damage. The demands placed on dental prosthetics today are very high. Precisely because the demographic development of the population of the Federal Republic of Germany, that means  an ageing population, is directly linked to the need for dental treatment and the psychosocial pressure to be fit and healthy. The currently much better informed patient demands high-quality esthetic dentures.

In addition to aesthetics, durability and speed of care, comfort and price also play an essential role. With the trend towards increasing performance restrictions of both statutory and private health insurance companies, the patient who is paying for himself at that moment will place the highest demands on his dental treatment.

The success of a prosthetic-rehabilitative measure lies in the division of complex treatment processes into manageable individual stages. The synoptic treatment concept of smileDentity is consistently continued here as well.

A basic distinction is made between fixed dentures and removable dentures. In between there is the combined fixed and removable prosthesis. Especially in connection with modern implant prosthetics, it is possible to treat many cases with a fixed prosthesis. However, implantation is not always indicated. For example, the restoration of one or more anterior teeth in the aesthetically demanding maxillary anterior region is still one of the problematic indication areas in implantology. The main reason for this is the pronounced negative effect of a non-optimal hard or soft tissue situation prior to implantation. Despite the possibilities of pre-treating such cases surgically-reconstructively, implant-supported restorations are often unable to meet these high demands when viewed soberly when applying today's standards for the esthetics of tooth-supported fixed restorations.

Aesthetic losses in the anterior region, which is always visible, should not become a compromise. A targeted esthetic analysis is also essential here in order to determine the indication as accurately as possible. The differential diagnosis whether implant-prosthetic or conventional-prosthetic requires a precise risk analysis and success assessment for perfectly esthetic reconstructions and is indispensable for a demanding prosthetic restoration.

In the field of combined fixed-removable dentures, an advantage of newer concepts both in implant prosthetics and in conventional prosthetics lies in the transition from primary to secondary locking of implants or teeth in the implementation of highly precise and tension-free coupling mechanisms. The patient can be fully toothed either way. According to the principle "A dental prosthesis is good if it is not recognized and felt as such", the quality of life for the patient should be considerably improved.

The dentists of smileDentity develop the right concept together with you and support you also with the justification of the achievement reimbursement with their health insurance company.
