Dentures are artificial dental solutions applied to restore the function and aesthetic appearance of teeth lost for various reasons. The absence of teeth directly affects not only the aesthetics of the smile, but also chewing, speaking and general oral health. Therefore, applying a suitable prosthesis instead of lost teeth provides great comfort to the patient both functionally and psychologically.
At İşman Dental, dentures are not only considered as a structure that replaces missing teeth, but also as an important treatment tool that increases the person’s quality of life, restores self-confidence and protects jaw health in the long term. Dentures are planned specifically for the patient according to their needs, oral structure and expectations, and are prepared with modern techniques.
Who is Suitable for Dentures?
There is a suitable type of prosthesis for every individual who has lost their teeth for various reasons. Different solutions can be offered for each case, from patients with a single tooth missing to individuals who have lost all their teeth. When the tooth gap after extraction is not filled in a timely manner, many problems such as shifting of neighboring teeth, deterioration of chewing function and problems in the jaw joint can occur. Therefore, beyond aesthetic concerns, dental prosthesis treatment is also of critical importance in terms of oral health.
At İşman Dental, the most appropriate prosthesis method is determined by examining the cause of each patient’s tooth loss, the condition of the jawbone, the health of the remaining teeth and general health in detail. Thus, treatment does not only mean the elimination of a deficiency, but also the holistic reconstruction of oral health.
What are the Types of Dentures?
Dentures are basically divided into two groups: fixed and removable. Fixed dentures are dentures that are permanently placed in the patient’s mouth and cannot be removed. Bridges or fixed dentures on implants fall into this group. These types of dentures are very close to the appearance of natural teeth and offer comfortable use.
Removable dentures are full or partial dentures that can be attached and removed by the patient. They are especially preferred in cases of multiple tooth loss or complete edentulism.
At İşman Dental, the selection of prosthesis is made not only according to the number of missing teeth, but also by considering many factors such as the patient’s expectations, oral hygiene habits, lifestyle and jaw structure. The goal is to achieve an aesthetic, functional and long-lasting result.
What is the Prosthesis Application Process?
Prosthetic treatment begins with a detailed examination and intraoral analysis. If necessary, panoramic X-rays or 3D imaging techniques are used to evaluate the condition of the jawbone and existing teeth. Then, the type of prosthesis suitable for the patient is determined and measurements are taken. Prosthetics are prepared in a laboratory environment to fit the patient’s oral structure exactly. During this process, both aesthetic and functional harmony are taken into consideration.
After the prosthesis is prepared, a trial is made in the mouth, necessary corrections are made and the prosthesis is fixed or training is given for its use. At İşman Dental, the patient is not left alone during the process of getting used to the prosthesis; the adaptation process is monitored with checks, the necessary support is provided and a long-lasting use is aimed.
Is It Easy to Get Used to Using Prosthetics?
Starting to use a new denture may require an adaptation period for some patients at first. Especially with removable dentures, temporary differences may occur in eating, speaking or oral comfort. However, with the right planning and use of quality materials, this process is quite short. The dentures prepared at İşman Dental are designed to fully adapt to the patient’s oral structure. In addition, the patient is regularly monitored after the application and the necessary adjustments are made. In this way, the denture is brought to the closest level to the natural tooth sensation.
How Should Prosthesis Care Be?
Regular maintenance is essential for dentures to last and not negatively affect oral health. For fixed dentures, the tooth brushing habit should continue as is and should be supported with dental floss or interdental brushes. For removable dentures, daily cleaning should be provided with special denture brushes and solutions, and it is recommended that they are removed at night.
At İşman Dental, every patient who starts using dentures is informed in detail about correct care techniques and hygiene recommendations. In addition, regular check-up appointments are planned to monitor the status of the denture and oral health. Thanks to this approach, both the comfort and aesthetic appearance of the dentures are preserved for many years.
Denture Prices
The cost of prosthetic treatment may vary depending on the type of prosthesis to be applied, the material used, the number of missing teeth and any additional procedures. Fixed prostheses may have different prices than removable prostheses. In addition, applications made with advanced technologies such as implant-supported prostheses may appeal to different budgets as they offer long-lasting and aesthetic solutions.
At İşman Dental, a personalized treatment plan is prepared for each patient and pricing is shared transparently before the treatment process. In this way, the patient starts the treatment feeling secure both medically and economically.
