Upper teeth prosthetics is one of the most sought-after dental procedures to restore the function and aesthetics of the teeth. Tooth loss can occur due to different reasons such as decay, trauma, or gum disease. Modern approaches, innovative equipment, and quality materials ensure the creation of prosthetics that are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth, both functionally and visually.
Indications for Upper Teeth Prosthetics
Upper teeth prosthetics is performed when there are objective medical indications:
- Loss of teeth due to decay, trauma, or gum disease.
- Severe tooth damage which cannot be restored by simple fillings.
- Aesthetic reasons due to discolored, chipped, or improperly positioned teeth, especially regarding the front upper teeth.
- Functional impairment of chewing or diction due to missing teeth.
- Prevention of further dental arch destruction to avoid misalignment and degradation of remaining teeth.
The necessity of prosthetics is determined by a dentist after a detailed examination and diagnostics.
Contraindications
Despite the wide possibilities of prosthetics, there are contraindications:
- Acute inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity, such as gingivitis or periodontitis in exacerbation.
- Systemic diseases like diabetes that could complicate healing.
- Allergic reactions to materials used for making prostheses.
- Psychological factors, fears, or phobias associated with dental procedures.
This list is not exhaustive. The final decision for prosthetics is made by the dentist based on the specifics of the case.
Types of Upper Teeth Prostheses
Prosthetics for upper teeth in Kyiv is a complex and responsible task that requires a careful approach to selecting the optimal prosthesis. Modern dentistry offers numerous solutions. Knowing the basic types of prostheses helps patients better understand their options and choose the most suitable with a dentist. Here are the main types used for upper teeth:
- Removable prostheses used when missing all or a significant number of teeth; can be partial or complete. Complete ones for full edentulism, partial ones are used when missing one or a few teeth, secured on existing teeth with metal clasps or attachments, improved by vacuum effect between prosthesis and gums.
- Fixed prostheses installed on remaining teeth or implants, including crowns, bridges. Crowns placed over prepared teeth or implants, made from metal, metal-ceramics, ceramics, and zirconia. Bridge prostheses consist of several connected crowns for replacing one or a few absent teeth, secured on neighboring teeth or implants.
- Implants chosen based on patient’s anatomy and budget, clinic dentists work only with reliable brands. Neodent implants by Straumann Group known for reliability and efficiency in various clinical situations, especially for immediate loading. ICX German implants stand out for high quality and affordability, offering a range of solutions for different bone types.
- Veneers and lumineers, thin veneers for the front tooth surface for aesthetic correction.
The choice of prosthesis depends on the number and condition of existing teeth, gums, patient’s aesthetic preferences, and budget constraints. Remember to make the final decision jointly with an experienced dentist to consider all nuances and ensure maximum comfort and durability.
Preparation for Upper Teeth Prosthetics
Before upper teeth prosthetics, thorough preparation involves several steps:
- Diagnostics, oral cavity examination, X-ray.
- Planning, discussing possible prosthetic options with the patient and selecting the optimal solution.
- Treatment – prior treatment of inflammations, removing caries, extracting non-repairable teeth.
Preparation time for upper teeth prosthetics is individual and depends on the clinical case complexity.
How is Upper Teeth Prosthetics Done?
A prosthetic plan for upper teeth is individually designed for each case, considering the prosthesis type used:
| Prosthesis Type | Prosthetics Procedure |
|---|---|
| Fixed | Teeth preparation (tooth trimming), impressions, temporary prostheses manufacturing and installation, permanent crowns or bridges trial and fixation |
| Removable | Impressions, model manufacturing, fitting and correction, final installation |
| Implantation | Surgical implant placement, osseointegration period, abutments and crowns installation |
In general, prosthetics with various types of prostheses follows a general algorithm:
- Preparation, outlined in detail above.
- Prosthesis manufacturing in a dental laboratory using impressions.
- Prosthesis fixation determined by prosthesis type.
Following fixation, regular dentist visits are necessary for check-ups.
Post-Dental Procedure Recovery
Post-prosthetics, the patient requires recovery, which includes:
- Following doctor recommendations – prescribed medications, dietary regimen adherence.
- Oral hygiene at home – meticulous hygiene procedures to prevent inflammation.
- Regular dentist check-ups for monitoring prosthesis and oral cavity, along with a professional cleaning.
Recovery duration after upper teeth prosthetics is individual, average recovery time for crowns or inlays is 1-2 weeks, removable prostheses 2-3 weeks, and after implantation 3-6 months. Personalized factors matter as adaptation to a new prosthesis varies per individual.
Overall, upper teeth prosthetics recovery may take up to 2 months.
How Long Will Upper Teeth Prostheses Last?
The lifespan of upper teeth prostheses depends on type and material; typically, removable prostheses last about 5-7 years, whereas fixed crowns and bridges can last up to 15-20 years. Implants with proper care and regular dental visits can last a lifetime. Proper prosthesis care and adherence to recommendations significantly influence durability. Regular professional inspections and cleanings also contribute to longevity.
