The latest achievements of the nonmetal ceramics E.Max made in Germany are being put into practice. Detailed

Prosthetic dentistry

There are three types of dentures: fixed, removable and partially removable.

Fixed dentures

They are attached to natural teeth for a long period. These dentures look like separate crowns or bridges (a number of crowns) fixed on teeth which should be prepared for it first. Some people think that in this case they need to devitalize their teeth. Fortunately, this practice has gone into past. Modern technologies used by our dentists let them keep a pulp alive. You will wear temporary crowns on your teeth while making new crowns or bridges.

Ceramics fused to metal

Before

After

The most popular orthopedic material is ceramics fused to metal. The bar of such a denture is made of chromium-cobalt alloy. The outer lay is covered with durable and highly aesthetic ceramics. The bar may be also made of a more precious alloy containing gold and platinum – the so-called “ceramics fused to gold”. We use only ceramics of perfect quality made by the leading companies such as IVOCLAR and DUCERA (Germany) and others.

Non-metal ceramics

Before

After

Among with ceramics fused to metal we widely use non-metal ceramics (VIP category). A whole piece ceramic crown has perfect aesthetic and functional characteristics necessary for chewing and other purposes. The main strong point of non-metal crowns is that your teeth look very natural and you can find practically no difference compared with your own teeth. These crowns cost more expensive than those made of metal because making them we use the high-tech and expensive equipment “IPS Empress” (IVOCLAR, Germany) and “Vintage” (SHOFU, Japan). Sometimes we recommend you to set crowns on inlays made of the same material. The advantage of these inlays compared with ceramic fused to metal ones is durability and lack of oxidizing.

Inlays

Before

After

In case of the little decay of masticatory teeth we make every effort to keep dental tissues and prefer inlays to crowns. Such technology is called microprosthetics with inlays. Made of the durable non-metal ceramics “IPS Empress” the inlay looks like surrounding dental tissues and stays in your tooth longer than a usual filling. The Empress ceramics has the same characteristics as vital teeth so even the most pretentious patients prefer it.

Veneers

Before

After

It is possible to restore functions and improve aesthetics of front teeth with ceramic veneers – thin onlays stuck to your front teeth. The non-metal ceramic veneers “IPS Empress” (IVOCLAR, Germany) will create irreproachable aesthetics.

Removable dentures

Before

After

There are a lot of cases when patients are partially toothless and it is impossible to set a fixed denture. So we have to offer them removable dentures of two types: fully removable (if a patient is completely toothless) or partially removable (if a patient is partially toothless). Removable dentures may be laminar and clasp (arched or supported). In the latter a metal arch substitutes for a significant part of a plastic base.

Removable dentures have different characteristics.

Clasp dentures produce masticating load not only on the gum and bone tissue of jaws but also on attachments by means of special rests that may be made of metal or plastic.

Removable dentures have different characteristics. Clasp dentures produce masticating load not only on the gum and bone tissue of jaws but also on attachments by means of special rests that may be made of metal or plastic. Removable laminar dentures are supported only by the alveolar ridge. To improve the fixation of them in the oral cavity we use dentures with a soft functional edge and achieve close and comfortable joint even under heavy load. But you should bear in mind that a removable denture will never be attached in the oral cavity as good as a fixed one.

If you are against removable dentures but have lost most of your teeth you will be offered implants. Unfortunately, there are few people affording it for medical contraindications or high cost. Cheer up! We have different kinds of removable dentures (made of nylon, durable soft plastic, with a soft functional edge, silicon liners, telescopic crowns, attachments and etc.). Take your time to extract the left teeth even if they are decayed. They can not be attachments for a bridge but helpful for a partially removable denture (dentures with telescopic crowns and attachments). These dentures will be supported not only by your gum but also by roots of the left teeth.

Guarantees

At the end of our short presentation of dentures offered to our patients we would like to underline that we give a 2-year guarantee for all kinds of ceramic fused to metal or non-metal ceramic dentures though the durability of them is 10-12 years. You will be given a 2-year guarantee for removable dentures too but they will function 8 or more years if you have an annual dental check-up. These dentures need little regular correction due to the changes of the anatomic borders of your oral cavity tissues.
