Prevention is an important part of complete dental care, especially preventing the loss of one or more teeth. Nevertheless, tooth loss still occurs at any age, and some patients still require tooth extraction.
A prosthesis is any device that replaces a missing part of the body. Thus, prosthetic dentistry, also called prosthodontics, is the replacement of missing parts of teeth, bone, gums, or facial structures.
Prosthetic dentistry is an important way for many patients to continue enjoying a full, healthy smile. If you’ve suffered tooth loss, our downtown Kansas City cosmetic dentistry practice can custom-design an appropriate replacement so you regain your smile, your bite function, and your quality of life.
Find out if prosthodontics are right for you by scheduling a consultation with one of our expert dentists at Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry of Kansas City.
You deserve to smile confidently – and to feel comfortable while our experts restore your smile! During your prosthetic dentistry consultation with us, our team will review your oral health, identify the type of prostheses that will work best for you and your lifestyle, and create a custom plan.
Our custom prosthetic dentistry treatments can include:
A bridge replaces lost teeth with replicas that match the teeth you lost. Supported by crowns that are bonded to nearby teeth, bridges are an advanced dental care technique that can restore your bite’s balance and your smile.
For more prolific tooth loss at any age, full or partial dentures replace rows of teeth and match your natural dentition. Dentures are supported on a base that matches your gums and fits snugly into your dental ridge. If you still have existing teeth, a partial denture fits between them for a cohesive smile. No one will know the difference.
Rounding out our complete dental care services, dental implants require a form of oral surgery to insert rootlike titanium posts into your jawbone to support prosthetic teeth. And because they’re a permanent part of your jaw, you’ll maintain your facial structure and smile after implantation.
Our advanced dental care and prosthodontic offerings can rebuild your smile and reestablish your confidence. To learn more about our prosthetic dentistry services, schedule an appointment by calling us at (816) 320-6638, or by clicking the button below.
