Don’t let missing teeth lead to you missing out on life’s best moments. You can smile again with the help of prosthodontics! Prosthodontics may be fixed, removable or supported and retained by implants.
Prosthodontic solutions not only aim to replace missing teeth, but also realize the greater need of a complete teeth structure. Certain factors may contribute to the loss of teeth or their function.
At Micris Dental Clinic, our accomplished team of prosthodontists will take care of your specific needs, bringing back the glow in your smile and restore the full functionality of your teeth.
Prosthodontics is a dental specialty that refers to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, health and aesthetics of patients. This mainly helps patients who have missing teeth, deficient teeth, and/or compromised oral and maxillofacial tissues.
A prosthodontist is a dentist who specializes in treating and handling various dental and facial problems which involve restoration of missing tooth and jaw structures. The term “prostho” means replacement while “dontist” means dealing with teeth.

Several factors contribute to tooth loss such as injury, disease, and deterioration from grinding and clenching. In certain cases, a number of people are born without some tooth/teeth. Tooth loss impedes speech and oral functionality and causes aesthetic inconveniences. This is why it is recommended that you visit your expert prosthodontist to get the necessary treatments.
Upon your first visit to Micris Dental Clinic, your specialist prosthodontist will examine your dental condition to provide you with an initial assessment and treatment recommendations customized to your needs.
Once you decide to proceed with the treatment, your prosthodontist will require a more comprehensive oral examination which could include X-rays and impressions. Finally, you will schedule with your dentist the actual prosthodontic treatments which may require multiple sessions, depending on the severity of the case.
Dental restorations must be kept healthy and taken care like natural teeth to make it last long. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene habits such as regular tooth brushing with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing. Avoid sugary food and beverages, as well as smoking. If recommended by your prosthodontist, wear a night guard to protect your restorations.
Aside from following these habits, it is best to schedule regular appointments with your prosthodontist for cleaning, adjustment, and repair/replacement of your restorations (if needed).
