Prosthodontics is a technology of
dentistry that involves diagnosis, treatment planning, and rehabilitation of
oral functions, comfort, appearance and health. A prosthodontist is a
specialist in restorative dentistry and is considered the specialist of
restoring and replacing lost or destroyed teeth using various dental prostheses.
These are caps, bridges, veneers, dentures, and dental implants.
Prosthodontists with advanced training are masters in designing an individual
treatment program that considers complex oral problems, restoring the patient's
smile and chewing and speaking abilities.
Indications of Prosthodontics:
● Missing Teeth: Whether it is a
single tooth or all the teeth on one arch that are missing is irrelevant;
prosthodontists can replace the missing teeth. They employ such solutions as
dental implants, fixed bridges, or complete and partial dentures to restore the
smile and avoid the movement of other teeth.

Effects of Prosthodontics:
● Regaining Function: The first impact
is restoring normal chewing and biting functions. It will enable a patient to
continue a broader range of foods and help with better digestion.
● Enhanced Aesthetics: Prosthodontics
can transform a person by radically improving the smile, appearance and
self-confidence with careful planning and placement of the restorations.
● Improved Oral Health: Filling
missing and replacing damaged teeth does not allow the remaining teeth to drift
and guard the gums and jawbone behind them, which achieves long-term oral
health.
●
Pain relief: Fixing a misaligned bite may eliminate chronic
headache, jaw pain, and other TMJ disordered symptoms, greatly enhancing the
level of comfort of the patient and improving the quality of life.
