Prosthetics

 

Prosthetics

In the event of the loss of several or all teeth, making chewing and speaking difficult.

What do we do?

We make a partial or complete custom-made prosthesis so that you can eat, speak and laugh comfortably again. If possible, we combine prostheses with implants for extra strength.

Prosthetics

Prosthetics focuses on replacing missing teeth.

When several teeth are missing, a prosthesis can restore chewing function, speech and appearance.

Within our practice, a prosthesis is always carefully tailored to your mouth, wishes and comfort.

Dentures (prosthesis)

A denture is a removable device that replaces missing teeth.

For a well-fitting denture, a treatment process is followed in which several appointments are necessary to accurately determine the shape, bite and fit.

The goal is a prosthesis that is comfortable, functions well and looks natural.

Implant-supported dentures

An implant-supported denture is a removable prosthesis that clicks onto implants in the jaw.

Depending on your situation, the implant-supported denture is usually attached to two or four implants. This provides more stability and comfort than a loose-fitting denture.

The implant-supported denture can be easily removed for cleaning, but is firmly attached during speaking and eating.

Treatment process

The treatment process consists of several steps, including:

• Taking impressions or digital scans

• Determining the bite and position of the teeth

• Fitting a trial prosthesis

• Placing the final prosthesis

During each step, it is checked whether the prosthesis fits well and feels comfortable.

Costs and reimbursement

The costs of a prosthesis depend on the type of device and your personal situation.

For a complete denture, the basic insurance usually reimburses part of the costs, with a statutory personal contribution. An implant-supported denture can often also be (partially) reimbursed.

During the consultation you will receive a personal treatment plan with a cost estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Prostheses

What is the difference between a normal and an implant-supported prosthesis?

An implant prosthesis clicks into the jaw and is more secure than a normal prosthesis.

Can I eat everything with a prosthesis?

Yes, but hard or sticky foods may take some getting used to at first.

How long does a prosthesis last?

On average 5 to 10 years, depending on wear and tear and changes in your jaw.

Does it hurt to have a prosthesis made?

No, but there may be irritation or pressure sensitivity in the beginning.

This is recommended to give your mouth a rest and prevent infections.
