Prosthetics of anterior teeth

Dentures are most often installed on the front teeth to improve their appearance. The front teeth are also actively involved in the biting process and play a key role in the formation of speech, in particular in the pronunciation of certain sounds. Therefore, the manufacture of dentures requires highly qualified dentists. It is important that the design is not only visually attractive, but also as close as possible to natural teeth in shape and color. Entrust the care of your teeth to the doctors of the K+31 clinic.

Indications for installing dentures on anterior teeth

It is important to understand when they need to be installed. This is especially true when oral problems affect appearance and comfort. There are several key indications for which prosthetics of anterior teeth are recommended:

  • Crown chips: prosthetics are required when the chip occupies more than half of the crown
  • Enamel damage: significant defects, including cracks and wear
  • Fluorosis: changes due to excess fluoride
  • Color changes: including yellowing from tetracycline and other stains
  • Destruction of the supragingival part: especially when more than 70% is affected
  • Weak and thin enamel
  • Replacing an old restoration: when restoration work is ineffective
  • Improper bite
  • Frequent caries under filling

These indications reflect various problems for which prosthetics are the best solution. In each specific case, the dentist determines which type is most suitable based on the condition of the oral cavity and the aesthetic needs of the patient.

Contraindications to dental procedures

  • Acute diseases or exacerbations of chronic ones
  • Dental and periodontal diseases. It is necessary to first treat existing oral diseases
  • Diseases of bone tissue that may affect the possibility of implantation or other interventions
  • Serious mental disorders. They can complicate the treatment process and the perception of pain
  • Pregnancy. Especially if it is necessary to use anesthesia, as this may affect the development of the fetus

Methods of prosthetics of anterior teeth

The choice of method depends on individual needs and the condition of the dentition.

Each of these methods has its own advantages and limitations, so the choice should be made together with the dentist, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient and his preferences. It is important to remember that quality of life and self-confidence often begin with a beautiful smile.

Which prosthesis should I put on my front teeth? Let's look at the main options:

  • Crowns They are used for partial or complete tooth decay. They are installed on your own roots or on implants, depending on the integrity of the root system. The choice of material - from metal-free ceramics to metal ceramics - affects the aesthetics and durability of the structure
  • Bridge-like Used to restore one or more missing teeth. Bridges are fixed to adjacent teeth or implants, effectively restoring the dentition. The materials used for bridges are similar to those used for crowns
  • Adhesive bridge This is a less expensive option that involves fixing artificial teeth to natural teeth using metal or plastic beams. This method is suitable for restoring a small number of teeth and has a relatively short service life
  • Bugelnye Removable dentures consisting of a metal or plastic arch to which artificial teeth are attached. Installed on the upper or lower jaw, providing functionality and aesthetics
  • Removable "butterfly" A temporary solution that does not require grinding of the supporting teeth. Suitable for the restoration of one or two teeth, providing aesthetic improvement in a short time
  • Veneers Porcelain plates fixed on ground teeth. Ideal for correcting minor aesthetic defects and discoloration, providing a natural and aesthetic appearance

The process of prosthetics using various methods

Each of these methods has its own characteristics and is suitable for certain clinical cases, providing functional and aesthetic restoration of the dentition.

Dental inlays

Dental inlays are microprostheses, most often made of ceramic or zirconium dioxide, designed to restore chewing units damaged by 50% or more. Steps for inserting anterior teeth include:

  1. Preparation. Remove old fillings, eliminate carious areas, form a cavity for an inlay
  2. Taking impressions. An intraoral scanner is used, then a virtual model is created for making the inlay
  3. Manufacturing. Produced on a computer controlled machine
  4. Installation. Remove the temporary filling, try on and glue the tab, adjusting the fit

Veneers

Veneers are thin shells, usually made of ceramic or zirconium dioxide, to correct the appearance of incisors and canines. The process of prosthetic veneers includes:

  1. Smile analysis. The doctor evaluates her through photographs from different angles
  2. Dental treatment. Grinding a small layer for attaching veneers
  3. Taking impressions. Create models for the manufacture of veneers and temporary dentures
  4. Installation. The veneers are attached to dental cement, ensuring their reliable adhesion to the teeth

Implant prosthetics

Implant prosthetics are used when there is complete loss of a tooth or its root system. The procedure includes:

  1. Preparation for implantation. Assessment of the condition of bone tissue, location of blood vessels and nerves based on CT scan
  2. Implant installation. Implantation of a titanium pin into the jaw
  3. Fixation. Attaching crowns or bridges to artificial roots
  4. Regular inspections. Monitoring the condition of implants and prostheses, professional cleaning
General information about the procedure

How the front teeth are inserted

The process of prosthetics for the upper front teeth begins with diagnostics: the doctor examines the patient, assesses the condition of the dentition and conducts the necessary tests. Based on this, an individual treatment plan is drawn up. Important steps for installing dentures on the front teeth:

  1. Preparation. Depending on the chosen method, this may be grinding for veneers, crowns or attachments for bridges and clasp prostheses
  2. Taking impressions. This stage is necessary to create an accurate model of the dentition
  3. Jaw modeling. Programs are used to analyze the functioning of the jaw joints and the closure of teeth to ensure maximum comfort and accuracy
  4. Manufacturing. Jewelry work requiring high precision and attention to detail
  5. Trying on. Checking the fit, adjusting if necessary and final fixing
  6. Installation of temporary structures. During long-term production of a permanent prosthesis, temporary structures provide comfort and aesthetics
  7. Adaptation period. Varies depending on the complexity of the prosthesis, can take from several days to a month

The final stage is patient adaptation. The time required for adaptation depends on the type of design and the individual characteristics of the patient. Only after a thorough examination and assessment of the condition of the teeth can the doctor determine how long the entire prosthetic process will take.

Pain after installation of a prosthesis

Pain after installing a front tooth is a common problem that a patient may encounter. Typically, pain after inserting a front tooth is associated with two main reasons:

  1. Adaptation. The new design takes some getting used to. During this period, pain may occur, which can be eliminated by correcting the prosthesis or goes away on its own
  2. Development of inflammatory processes. If the pain does not go away after a few days, intensifies, or is accompanied by pus or an unpleasant odor, this may indicate inflammation

It is important to note that pain can be caused by:

  • Untreated infectious lesions in the oral cavity
  • Errors during installation or preparatory operations
  • Inappropriate use and lack of hygiene
  • Allergic reactions to materials
  • Imperfect fit of the prosthesis to soft tissues

If pain occurs after installation, especially if it is accompanied by inflammatory processes, you should immediately contact your dentist. Ignoring such symptoms can lead to serious complications, including breakdown and rejection of its elements. A timely contact with a specialist will help quickly identify and eliminate the problem, ensuring comfortable and safe use.

Care for false front teeth

Proper care is key to longevity and comfortable use. Recommendations for caring for different types of dentures include:

Nylon:

  • Avoid using hard brushes, soft options are preferable
  • Use pastes without abrasives to avoid scratches
  • Disinfect regularly using special liquids or tablets
  • To remove bacterial plaque that is beyond the reach of home cleaning, see your dentist for ultrasonic cleaning

Bugel:

  • Clean with a soft brush, avoiding mechanical impact on the connections
  • Treat them regularly with a bio-solution to remove stains and food debris
  • If necessary, have it professionally cleaned to remove hard deposits

Plastic:

  • Use modern cleaning and fixing agents designed for a specific type of denture
  • Remove regularly at night if using fixatives
  • To remove nicotine stains, consult a doctor for ultrasonic cleaning

Following these recommendations will help keep your dentures in good condition, ensuring comfortable wearing and maintaining aesthetics. Regular maintenance and careful attention guarantee the durability and functionality of the structure.
