About Prosthodontics

A dentistry specialty known as prosthodontics deals with the diagnosis, planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of patients’ oral health, comfort, and aesthetics. Patients with missing teeth, underdeveloped teeth, or damaged oral and maxillofacial tissues benefit the most from this.

Don’t let missing teeth prevent you from experiencing the wonderful parts of life. The use of prosthodontics can let you smile once again! Fixed, detachable, or supported and retained by implants are all options for prosthodontics.

Prosthodontic treatments recognize the larger necessity for a whole dental structure in addition to their primary goal of replacing missing teeth. The function or loss of teeth may be caused by a variety of reasons.

At Mint Dental Care, our skilled prosthodontists will attend to your unique needs, restoring your smile’s radiance and the complete functionality of your teeth.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Patients who have substantial decay or recurrent tooth grinding (bruxing), which shortens teeth, are candidates for a full mouth rehabilitation procedure. As the name implies, this technique entails reconstructing every tooth in a patient’s dental arch or mouth in order to improve their oral health, functionality, and appearance. For a whole mouth reconstruction, a variety of procedures using crowns, bridges, veneers, and/or dental implants are used.

Onlays and Inlays

You could require an inlay or onlay if a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not severely enough to require a crown. These specialized restorations fit like small puzzle pieces into your tooth structure.

Removable for patients who are missing all of their teeth, complete dentures are full-mouth tooth replacements. People who have lost all of their teeth due to trauma or poor dental hygiene can benefit from complete dentures, which can improve their chewing ability and cosmetic appearance.

Temporomandibular Disease (TMD) and Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) (TMD)

The TMJ, also known as the temporomandibular joints, are jaw muscles and joints on either side of your skull that allow you to open and close your mouth. TMD, on the other hand, is a condition that affects the TMJ and is not a specific disease. Some of the signs are:

Pain in the ear or nearby
Yawning and chewing discomfort
supple jaw muscles
popping or clicking sounds when moving your jaw
Having trouble opening or closing your mouth

Education on appropriate oral hygiene, routine care, proactive cleanings, diagnosis, and treatment will help you keep your teeth healthy and cavity-free. Preventive dentistry is beneficial to both adults and children. Visiting the dentist on a regular basis may help you avoid having the following conditions:
