Prosthetics

Prosthetics/Dentures in Quesada, Rojales, Torrevieja close to Alicante in Spain

In prosthetics one differentiates between 3 types of treatments: permanently fixed dentures, removable dentures and a combination of the two, called combined dentures.

1. Permanently fixed dentures are for example crowns or bridges and single crowns on single implants or bridges on implants.
   
2. Removable dentures include full dentures or clasped dentures.
   
3. Telescopic prosthetics belong to the group of combined dentures.

All three kinds of dentures/prosthetics works can be laid either directly on the natural teeth or on implants if there is no healthy and stable tooth available for holding the prosthesis firm enough. The use of implants as anchors makes it possible to avoid upper dental plates and clasps as they are less aesthetic and less comfortable.

We can also fix a large prosthesis with a metal or even zirkon (ceramics) bar as well as magnets and telescopes on implants or single teeth.

There are different kinds of crowns: metal crowns, metal-porcelain crowns, i.e. a metal framework with a porcelain coating, or full porcelain crowns (framework and coating made of porcelain).

Our clinic has a long standing experience in prosthetics. We offer everything you can expect of modern dentistry. Whatever matters most to you – e.g. prophylaxis, minimal invasive treatment, cost, wearing comfort, safety, ease of care or aesthetics – we will work out the right solution together with you.

Usage of functional jaw movement analysis (TMJ or CMD) in connection with dentures and prosthodontics

In our dentistry, Dental Planet, we use functional jaw movement analysis (CMD or TMJ) also in connection with new denture or prosthetics in order to determine the optimum mandibular position. This procedure is of great benefit for the patient.

With the help of the acquired data (from the functional jaw movement analysis, CMD) the dental technician receives valuable and detailed information about the mandibular position. This information helps greatly to manufacture dental crowns, bridges, implants and dental prostheses according to the (maybe already perfect) centric of the jaw or can achieve a well balanced centric with the new dentition.

Functional jaw movement analysis or diagnostics can exactly determine which movement disorders are present and which corrective measures are required.

Based on the measurement results the optimum jaw position can be found.

This presents a great and lasting relief for the patient as he experiences an alleviation of tension in the mandibular area.
