Tooth prosthetics

Often large scale tooth crown defects cannot be restored using fillings. In these cases, inlays, onlays or crowns may be used to restore damaged teeth.

Tooth prosthetics using fixed restorations

Often large scale tooth crown defects cannot be restored using fillings. In these cases, inlays, onlays or crowns may be used to restore damaged teeth. Usually, zirconia or full-ceramic crowns are used. In order to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing result and reduce plaque accumulation, zirconia-based fixed prostheses are usually chosen.

Anterior tooth restoration using full-ceramic crowns

Tooth arch defects due to the loss of one or several teeth may be restored using fixed partial dentures (bridges). However, this method has a big drawback, as the adjacent teeth need to be grinded, they receive increased chewing load, they are difficult to clean, and have an increased risk of decay and a less favorable prognosis. For reasons above, dental implants are recommended, especially when healthy teeth would need to be grinded for a bridge prosthesis.

Restorations for ProDentum clinic are made in the modern digital laboratory Digitorum LAB, this ensures smooth work process and effective quality control. Clinic’s specialists also work with high-quality dental labs in Lithuania and abroad. Fixed tooth restorations are usually done over 2-3 visits. Advanced digital technology allows us to manufacture large-scale restorations over a short period of time, without compromising the high quality of the work.

IMPORTANT! Only teeth with a good prognosis may be restored. There are three main parameters to consider:

Prosthetic prognosis. A certain amount of tooth hard tissue remaining: walls no thinner than 1 mm, no less than 2 mm higher than the gum line.
Root canal condition Teeth need to be vital or root canal treatment needs to be flawless. There can be no inflammation around the tip of the root. The root can have no cracks or other defects.
The tooth must not be mobile and have no gum and/or periodontal inflammation or lesions.

Before starting work on definitive restorations, the dentist makes sure that teeth to be treated are well-prepared, and discusses the situation with the patient. After root canal treatment is performed, teeth are restored using one of several methods, using a glass fiber post and/or composite. Metal post-and-cores are rarely used these days. It is always important to evaluate if bite height (vertical dimension of occlusion) has been lost, which also requires treatment.

In ProDentum clinic we provide all tooth prosthetics services and can manufacture any type or construction of fixed tooth prostheses. Tooth prosthetics are performed by clinic’s prosthodontists, who will help you decide on the most appropriate treatment option based on all patient’s factors, including health, time and financial restraints.

Tooth prosthetics using removable dentures

In cases of exceptionally large tooth arch defects, with three or more teeth lost, treatment with bridges is difficult, and sometimes impossible. In some cases, implant-treatment of tooth arch defects is also not possible. In those cases, to restore teeth and chewing function, treatment using removable prostheses is planned. There are several types of removable prostheses:

Partial removable prostheses (when some teeth remain);
Complete dentures (no teeth remaining);
Overdentures (when the base of the denture is supported by an implant or root of a tooth);

These restorations are manufactured in various ways: from acrylic resin only, or with a metal framework.

Removable dentures can be attached to adjacent natural teeth using hooks or less-visible attachments. Patient should be informed that there are many types of removable dentures, and that they are less effective at restoring the chewing function. Removable dentures need more thorough care. Usually this treatment method is chosen because of lower cost, in cases of unclear tooth prognosis or as a temporary prosthesis.

If the situation allows, removable dentures may also be manufactured from a soft resin (made by Valplast, Bredent, etc.). Our prosthodontists provide consultations regarding removable dentures.

Other recommended treatments

The ProDentum clinic has a wide range of services and provides patients with the highest level of professionalism.

TFW protocol

TFW protocol includes digital and analog technology used for everything from diagnostic imaging, implant planning to final restoration using special devices for measuring accuracy.

Dental implants

These days treatment using dental implants is safe and effective, and provides the patient means of restoring chewing function and smile with long-lasting results.

Implant placement using dynamic navigation

Dental implant placement is a surgical procedure where high precision is of greatest importance. Extra-precise dental implant positioning has a lower risk of complications, and occasionally allows us to avoid bone augmentation.

Dental implants for edentulous patients

We fully inform our patients about tooth preservation, the consequences of tooth loss and prosthetics.

Ceramic veneers

Veneers are very thin (from 0.2 mm) ceramic plates that cover the outer surfaces of natural teeth.

ZEBRIS JMAoptic system

Prodentum Clinic is one of the most advanced clinics in the practice of applying the latest technologies in the treatment of patients.

Tooth fillings

Fillings help to remove damage caused by tooth decay. The cause of this damage is plaque.

Cosmetic bonding and cosmetic dentistry

It's a modern treatment method to restore damaged or unappealing front teeth. The goal of bonding is to restore a tooth so it blends with the adjacent teeth.

ICON system procedure (treatment of tooth decay without drilling)

Using the ICON system, the initial decay is treated in a microinvasive way (without drilling) while the decay is limited to the enamel and the outer third of dentin.

Treatment of worn teeth

Non-carious lesions, also called tooth wear, is another factor that influences the need for dental work.

Orthodontics

The goal of orthodontic treatment is an effective correction of improper bite. During treatment, tooth and whole arch anomalies are corrected.

Oral surgery

If a tooth is severely damaged and there are no reasonable ways to restore it, such tooth must be extracted. A minimally injuring (atraumatic) tooth extraction allows for a smoother implant placement in the future.

Periodontology

Periodontal disease is very prevalent in Lithuania, at 95 percent of adults.

Endodontics

In ProDentum clinic, root canal treatment is performed by highly qualified professionals using leading technology (digital radiology, microscopy and other measures) to achieve the highest quality root canal treatment.

Pediatric dentistry

A child’s first encounter with a dentist should be after the first primary tooth has erupted, when it is generally recommended to bring a child for a check-up.

Dental treatment under sedation

Some patients experience severe discomfort during dental procedures. They may have various fears of sound (made by dental instruments), touch, pricking, smells, unusual environment and other anxieties.

Sinus lift surgery

During the maxillary sinus lift surgery, sinus mucosa is lifted, then protected using a special membrane, and the sinus floor is filled using bone substitute.

Alveolar augmentation using bone blocks/bone substitutes

Alveolar augmentation using a bone block is a surgical procedure where a piece of bone is taken from a donor site in the jaw, and placed in a recipient site.

Professional tooth cleaning

During the procedure ultrasonic, manual and rotary instruments are used to clean mineralized plaque (calculus) and to polish tooth surfaces.

Effective tooth whitening

Tooth whitening procedures are performed to improve the appearance of the teeth. The procedure may be carried out on several teeth or all teeth.

Digital smile design

It is great that today dentistry can use digital technology and visualization to provide an approximate image of the planned result.

Biomimetic dentistry, minimally invasive dentistry

In many cases of different prosthetic methods, the biggest drawback of such procedures - tooth grinding - is unavoidable.

Temporomandibular disorders

Temporomandibular disorders are problems of the jaw joint and chewing muscles.

Sports mouth guards

Sports and injuries go hand to hand. Injuries of the face and teeth are some of the most traumatizing.

Tests and consultations

The goal of all consultations in the ProDentum clinic is to create the most detailed treatment plan which is acceptable in all aspects, taking in consideration patient's general health and the condition of the masticatory system, patient's complaints, financial ability and preferences.

Computed tomography

It is a latest generation 3D tomograph with many advantages for our patients.
