What Is a Prosthodontic?
A prosthodontic is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. Prosthodontics includes a wide range of options designed to restore your bite, appearance, and oral health, such as:
- Dental Implants
- Dentures (full or partial)
- Dental Crowns
- Inlays & Onlays
- Dental Bridges
- Maxillofacial prosthetics (for patients with cleft palate, trauma-related injuries, or post-cancer restoration)
Your dentist will help you understand each option and choose the treatment that best supports your comfort, lifestyle, and long-term oral health goals.
Choosing the Right Tooth Replacement
The best tooth replacement depends on several factors, including:
- Number of teeth missing
- Condition of your remaining teeth
- Jawbone strength and density
- Your smile goals
- Whether you prefer removable or permanent options
For example:
- One or two missing teeth: A dental bridge or dental implant may be recommended.
- Multiple missing teeth: Partial dentures, full dentures, or implant-supported options may be ideal.
Before recommending implants, your dentist will evaluate your jawbone to ensure it can support the placement of titanium posts.
Permanent vs. Removable Prosthodontics
At Hammond Pond Dental Group, you can choose between permanent and removable restorations depending on your needs:
Permanent Options
- Dental implants
- Implant-supported bridges
- Fixed crowns These provide maximum stability, a natural feel, and the most lifelike appearance
Removable Options
- Traditional dentures
- Partial dentures
- Some types of removable bridges These allow for easy cleaning and may be ideal for patients who prefer flexible, non-surgical solutions.
If you choose dentures, we offer implant-supported options that provide exceptional stability and help prevent bone loss, allowing you to speak, smile, and enjoy your favorite foods with confidence.
