Dental prosthetic restoration is done efficiently with the use of crowns, bridges and dentures. Many cases also benefit from the use of dental implants to achieve a more reliable and stable outcome. TLV- smile is home to a wide variety of dental professionals that work together in order to design a well-suited prosthetic treatment for each patient individually, so that you could enjoy our work for many years.
Untreated caries and chronic gum disease lead to unwanted changes in the oral cavity such as tooth and bone loss as well as gum damage. These can directly affect our ability to eat as well as our appearance. Oral rehabilitation is needed in such cases to restore what has been lost. We believe that good prosthetics could look esthetic and last for many years.
Prosthetic rehabilitation of the mouth is handles according to these steps at TLV smile:
– Getting to know our patients. In your own words we want to hear: what is the current status of your mouth? what bothers you? How does it feel? What do you need? What do you ask for?
– Looking at the picture objectively. Medical and dental record collection. Diagnosis and goal establishment.
– Creating a treatment plan along with your oral rehabilitation dentist and choosing the right plan for you.
– Carefully executing our treatment plan. First, we build a solid base for our prosthetic to lay upon. This could include the help of other specialties, such as maxillofacial surgery, periodontics or endodontics. At the end of this phase, we usually send our work to the laboratory.
– Now it’s the work of our dental technician, who is skilled at using all the latest computer technology in order to create a well fitted prosthetic to the preparation in the mouth of the patient. The dentist will check the fit of the work to give it a final seal of approval.
– Final prosthetic placement. This is what we have been waiting for, congratulation!
Well designed and fitted prosthetics could last for many years, but in order for that to happen we need to keep coming in for regular checkups and cleaning.
