Denture prosthesis

Dentures are applied in case the gums, teeth, and surrounding tissues are lost or damaged for any reason. It is specially produced for each patient. The application can be applied to a single tooth or to every teeth.

However, the priority is to protect the patients’ existing teeth. Each person has a different bone color and prostheses are produced according to the patient’s bone color. Thus, it does not look different than natural teeth. The main purpose of the application is to restore the chewing ability of the patient.

Expert dentists in our clinic can perform the pre-examination stage, without the patient being in the clinic, using the intra oral images and x-rays sent by them. If there is anything you want to ask or consult, feel free to contact us.

If you want to come from a different city or country for oral and dental health problems, our clinic also offers additional services such as transfer and accommodation.

Full Denture

A full denture is applied to patients who have lost all their teeth. If the patient has lost all of their teeth due to osteoporosis, trauma, or decay, this treatment is preferred. Prostheses are fitted with help from the upper and lower tissues.

In this method, cheeks and lips are also supported with the help of a prosthesis. This leads to a younger-looking face. At the same time, a more beautiful smile is obtained with the aesthetic alignment of the teeth.

During the application phase, after the jaw-face x-rays are taken, the measurements are taken and the type of prosthesis is determined. A report is prepared by taking the patient wishes into consideration. Then, the relevant data are sent to the laboratory, and dentures are produced.

The prosthesis obtained is then sent to the dentist and is tried on the patient. If no change is required, treatment will be completed.

Precision Attachment Dental Prostheses

If the patient’s treatment cannot be done using fixed prostheses and there is a high number of teeth missing, precision attachment dental prostheses are used. In this method, slots are prepared in the teeth, and holders are placed.
