What is Prosthetic Treatments?
Prosthetic treatment aims to restore missing teeth and support function, speech, and aesthetics. Depending on the case, fixed or removable options may be considered, and the plan is shaped by the number of missing teeth, remaining support, and patient expectations. At Archident, prosthetic planning is approached with a balance of comfort, durability, and appearance.
Who may be evaluated for this treatment?
- Patients missing one or more teeth
- People seeking support for chewing and speech function
- Cases requiring fixed or removable replacement planning
- Patients who need individualized restorative sequencing
How is the treatment process planned?
The process begins with a clinical and radiographic evaluation of the remaining teeth, gums, and supporting structures. Treatment options are then reviewed and sequenced according to function, hygiene access, and aesthetic goals.
What is splint therapy or an occlusal splint?
For patients with temporomandibular joint discomfort who are also being evaluated for prosthetic treatment, splint therapy may be used before or during prosthetic planning to help balance the bite, regulate joint loading, and assess the position of the jaw joint. This approach is also called an occlusal splint application.
It is not necessary for every patient. It may be considered when there are joint sounds, jaw locking, muscle pain, morning tightness, or when bite stability needs to be re-established as part of a prosthetic plan.
What should be considered afterward?
Whether fixed or removable, prosthetic restorations need daily care and regular professional follow-up to maintain fit, comfort, and hygiene.
