Dental Prosthetics

What is this treatment?

Dental prosthetics deals with replacing missing or severely damaged teeth using fixed solutions (crowns, bridges on natural teeth or implants) and removable solutions (complete or partial dentures). At ZANI Dental, we work with specialised dental laboratories to create high-precision restorations using materials such as porcelain, zirconia and precious alloys. Every prosthetic restoration is designed considering not just aesthetics, but also chewing function, comfort and harmony with your remaining teeth. The result is a smile that looks, feels and functions naturally - and that can significantly improve your quality of life by restoring your ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence.

Who is it suitable for?

Dental prosthetics is suitable for people who have lost one or more teeth, those with teeth that are too damaged to be restored with a simple filling, individuals wearing old dentures that no longer fit comfortably, or anyone looking to improve the aesthetics of their smile. After a thorough consultation, the dentist will assess your specific condition and recommend the most appropriate solution - whether it's a crown, bridge, removable denture or an implant-supported restoration. Every case is unique, and the recommendation will be based on your clinical needs, preferences and budget.

Benefits

• Fully restores chewing and speaking function, allowing you to eat and communicate comfortably
• Significantly improves smile aesthetics and facial harmony
• Prevents adjacent teeth from shifting into the space of the missing tooth
• Protects weakened teeth from further damage or fracture (in the case of crowns)
• Modern materials (porcelain, zirconia) provide a highly natural appearance and long-term durability

What to know before and after treatment

Prosthetic restorations require regular care - daily brushing, flossing and, for bridges, the use of special floss or interdental brushes. Regular check-up visits every 6-12 months help monitor the condition of your restorations and prolong their lifespan. With proper care, crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years or longer. Avoid using your teeth as tools (opening packages, biting hard objects), as this can damage both natural teeth and restorations. If you notice any looseness, discomfort or damage, contact us promptly.
