Long Description
A dental prosthesis is an artificial replacement for one or more missing teeth. These devices help restore function, appearance, and oral health and may be removable or fixed depending on the type and patient needs.
Common types include dentures, bridges, crowns, and implants. Prostheses can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch, depending on the level of tooth loss. Materials may include porcelain, acrylic, or metal alloys.
Dental prostheses are essential for restoring chewing function, maintaining facial structure, and preventing other teeth from shifting. They are custom-made and require proper hygiene and periodic adjustments to ensure long-term success.
