Modern Methods of Tooth Prosthetics in Yerevan
Implantation and prosthetics technologies allow for the restoration of the dental arch even when the patient has lost all the teeth or is dealing with serious complications. The implanted artificial teeth have a natural appearance, are comfortable for the patient, ensure the normal functioning of the dental system, and help maintain health.
To achieve this result, the dentists at the "Elix" clinic use the latest technologies at every step.
Diagnosis and Planning
The diagnosis is based on X-ray or computerized imaging studies. New treatment approaches require a comprehensive evaluation of the condition of the dental system, considering the expected outcomes of implantation and prosthetics in terms of bone tissue regeneration, the remission or treatment of existing gum diseases.
When planning prosthetics, the doctor uses CAD/CAM technology. This technology allows for the 3D design of future prostheses, taking into account the anatomical features of the patient's natural teeth, the nature of the bite, and other factors. CAD/CAM enhances the accuracy of artificial constructions, ensures their ergonomics, and makes it possible to predict the result of the prosthetics.
Preparation for Implantation
In cases of bone tissue deficiency, bone grafting or sinus lifting may be used to improve the treatment prognosis. These are innovative yet already tested technologies that allow for the rapid restoration of the normal volume of bone tissue, stop its recession, and create a strong foundation for implant placement.
The implants used
The implants are made from strong, biocompatible materials. The placement is carried out following a specific protocol, reducing the risk of complications and minimizing the possibility of implant rejection.
Osteointegration
To accelerate osseointegration, the "Elix" clinic uses the PRF method, which ensures the application of fibrin matrices that stimulate the processes of regeneration and healing.
Prosthetics
For prosthetics, the "Elix" clinic may use non-metallic ceramics or zirconium dioxide. These materials are biocompatible and exactly resemble the enamel of a tooth, both in optical properties and surface structure. They are durable and do not change color over time.
Ceramic or zirconium dioxide prostheses completely replace the patient's teeth, restoring masticatory load, proper bite, speech, and smile aesthetics. Ceramic constructions are mainly used in the smile zone, while those made from zirconium dioxide are used for any tooth, whether it's an incisor, canine, premolar, or molar. Different protocols may be applied during the prosthetics process.
In the case of a single missing tooth, an implant is placed, and a crown is attached to it.
Several consecutively missing teeth can be replaced with a prosthesis (several connected crowns), which is placed on two or three implants. Prosthetics can also be performed using the all-on-4 or all-on-6 methods, which are applied in cases of complete edentulism, when there are no teeth on one jaw. In this case, a full prosthesis is placed on 4 or 6 implants.
All types of prosthetics are performed at the Elix clinic by highly qualified dentists, using modern technologies. The clinic's own dental laboratory allows for faster and higher-quality service for patients.
