How do I know if I am a candidate for fixed prosthetic treatment?

Once the loss of a dental piece occurs, it is necessary to look for a prosthetic option to restore the missing piece. One of the best options that provide the patient with greater aesthetics, durability over time and the restoration of masticatory function are fixed prosthetic treatments such as dental crowns, fixed bridges and dental implants.

Dental crowns are a fixed prosthetic treatment that is placed on a dental structure and is made in a dental laboratory, it has the function, shape and aesthetics of a natural tooth replacing the visible part of it. It can be made of different materials such as zirconium, lithium disilicate, or with a metal base covered with porcelain.

Fixed bridges are indicated to restore the loss of one or more dental structures. They are usually supported by two teeth called abutments and in the middle of these is the space to be restored, these are glued in a fixed way to the abutment teeth by means of a special dental cement.

A dental implant is a cylindrical element made of titanium coated with a biocompatible material with the body, i.e. it integrates perfectly into the bone and does not produce rejection of the same, this implant does exclusively the function of the tooth root and occupies the space of the same, so you have to add the crown which is the part that would give the functionality both chewing and aesthetics.

To determine the best fixed prosthetic treatment for each case it is essential to first make a diagnostic appointment, in this appointment we can evaluate the condition of the teeth present in the mouth, and by evaluating the number of teeth to be restored, the bite and the condition of the bone we can know which is the best fixed prosthetic treatment that suits the needs of each case. One of the tools to be used in this diagnostic appointment that allows us to see the roots of the teeth and also evaluate the maxillary alveolar bone by measuring the width, length and density of the same is through a 3D tomography, which will help us determine if the patient is a candidate for dental implants.
