Fixed & Removable Prosthetics in Vanak, Tehran

A dental prosthesis is an effective solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both the function of chewing and speech and the beauty of your smile. Prosthetics are made in two broad categories — "fixed" and "removable" — and are chosen according to each patient's circumstances. At the practice of Dr. Zahra Sadat Shamekhi, a DHA-licensed general dentist practising since 2013 in Vanak, Tehran, prosthetics are crafted with precise impressions and a principled design tailored to your mouth.

A missing tooth is not only a cosmetic problem; it can affect chewing, speech and even the health of the neighbouring teeth. Below you will learn about the types of prosthetics, their benefits, the fabrication steps and the aftercare they require.

What is a dental prosthesis?

A dental prosthesis is an artificial component that fills the space of one or more missing teeth. A fixed prosthesis is permanently secured to the natural teeth or implants and is not removed by the patient, whereas a removable prosthesis can be taken out and rests on the gums and oral tissues. The choice of prosthesis depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of the bone and gums and the patient's circumstances.

Types of dental prosthesis

• Fixed prosthesis (bridge and crown): to replace one or more teeth, supported by the neighbouring teeth or implants.

• Partial denture (removable): for cases where a number of natural teeth remain.

• Complete denture (full set): for complete tooth loss in the upper or lower jaw.

Benefits of a dental prosthesis

Beyond aesthetics, a prosthesis also preserves the function and health of your mouth. Its most important benefits include:

• Restoring chewing ability and proper nutrition

• Improving speech and clear pronunciation of words

• Preserving facial shape and preventing sagging

• Restoring the beauty of your smile and your confidence

The prosthesis fabrication steps

At Dr. Shamekhi's practice the prosthesis is made precisely and step by step:

1. 01. Examination, assessment of the mouth and selection of the right type of prosthesis

2. 02. Precise impressions and recording the relationship between the jaws

3. 03. Fabrication and try-in of the prosthesis with any necessary adjustments

4. 04. Final delivery, fitting and instruction on how to use and care for it
