What is dental prosthesis and why do we need it?
- Digestive problems: Inability to chew food properly.
- Analysis of the jaw bone: The jaw bone in the edentulous area degenerates over time.
- Displacement of adjacent teeth: The side teeth move towards the empty space and disrupt the overall order of the teeth. They fall.
- Negative effect on beauty and self-confidence: The empty space in the smile affects the person's appearance.
- Speech problems: It becomes difficult to pronounce some letters and words.
The main difference between fixed and removable prosthesis
- Fixed prosthesis: This type of prosthesis is permanently installed on the base teeth or implants and cannot be removed by the patient. Fixed prostheses feel and function very similar to natural teeth.
- Movable prostheses: These prostheses can be removed and put on by the patient and are usually used to replace a large number of teeth or all of them.
Types of fixed dental prostheses: Reconstructing a smile with high strength
1. Crown
Crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed on a natural tooth or an implant base. Veneers are used to restore severely damaged teeth after root canal treatment or for cosmetic purposes. Alireza Jamali's specialized laboratory produces veneers with a completely natural appearance and unparalleled strength using advanced materials.
- PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) veneers: a combination of metal underneath and ceramic (porcelain) on the surface, which both have good strength and provide a good appearance.
- All-Ceramic veneers: These veneers include Zirconia crowns, due to the absence of metal in their structure, are most similar to natural teeth and are ideal for exposed front teeth. The manufacturing process of these veneers is carried out in the Jamali laboratory using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology, which guarantees unparalleled accuracy and compatibility.
2. Dental bridge
3. Implant-Supported Prosthesis
Dental implants have revolutionized the replacement of missing teeth. An implant is a titanium base that is implanted in the jaw bone during a surgery and plays the role of a tooth root. Then, a fixed prosthesis (cover or bridge) is installed on it. This method is the best option to maintain the health of the jaw bone and create a completely natural feeling. Alireza Jamali Dental Prosthesis and Implant Laboratory works closely with the best surgeons and dentists in Zanjan to make precise and beautiful prostheses based on implants.
Types of removable dental prostheses: an efficient and economical solution
Movable prostheses are an excellent option for patients who have lost a large number of teeth or who do not have the necessary conditions for fixed treatments. The process of manufacturing fixed and mobile dental prostheses in Zanjan has been accompanied by many advances in the mobile field.
1. Parsil (partial) movable prosthesis
This prosthesis is used for patients who still have some of their natural teeth. Partial prosthesis consists of artificial teeth that are placed on an acrylic base (gum color) and connected to the remaining teeth by metal or non-metal clamps (the same color as the teeth).
- Chrome-cobalt partial prosthesis: These prostheses have a thin and strong metal skeleton that provides more comfort to the patient.
- Flexible partial prosthesis: These prostheses are made of flexible materials, do not have metal clips, and have a very desirable aesthetic appearance. are.
2. Complete dental prosthesis (Denture)
Complete prosthesis or "dental hand" is for patients who have lost all the teeth of one jaw (upper or lower) or both jaws. These prostheses are placed on the gum and the remaining bone of the jaw. Today, with advanced molding and design techniques, it is possible to handcraft teeth that look very beautiful and natural and have good grip and stability. The quality of raw materials and accuracy in manufacturing have a direct role in the patient's comfort, which is considered as a main priority in Alireza Jamali Specialized Laboratory.
3. Overdenture
Ordenture is a type of mobile complete prosthesis that is placed on a few remaining tooth bases or implants implanted in the jaw, instead of being placed directly on the gums. These bases greatly increase the stability and grip of the prosthesis and prevent the rapid erosion of the jaw bone. Implant-supported overdentures are an excellent solution for patients who complain of loose teeth. Expertise in manufacturing all types of fixed and mobile dental prostheses in Zanjan, especially overdentures, requires careful coordination between the surgeon, dentist and laboratory.
The vital role of the dental laboratory in the success of the treatment
Perhaps many patients do not know that a large part of the quality, beauty and durability of their dental prosthesis depends on the art and expertise of dental laboratory technicians. After preparing and molding, the dentist sends the mold to the laboratory and this is where the process of creating a new smile begins.
Alireza Jamali dental prosthesis and implant specialized laboratory in Zanjan understanding this heavy responsibility, has equipped itself with the latest technologies and knowledge:
- Digital CAD/CAM technology: This technology allows the laboratory to design prostheses with micron precision and with digital lathes using 3D scanners and advanced software. This high accuracy means the complete matching of the prosthesis with the patient's mouth, reducing the need for adjustment sessions and increasing the lifespan of the treatment.
- World quality raw materials: Using the best brands of ceramics, zirconia, acrylic and dental alloys, guaranteeing the beauty, biocompatibility (not causing sensitivity) and strength of the prosthetics.
- Expert technicians And the artist: Making a beautiful dental prosthesis requires a deep understanding of anatomy, color and art. Skilled technicians of Jamali Laboratory carefully and elegantly create prostheses that are indistinguishable from natural teeth.
- Cooperation and consultation with dentists: We consider ourselves a treatment partner of respected dentists and by providing expert advice in choosing the treatment plan and materials, we help achieve the best possible result for the patient.
Dental prosthesis manufacturing steps in a professional laboratory
The process of manufacturing various types of fixed and mobile dental prostheses in Zanjan is a multi-step and precise path, which briefly includes the following:
- Receiving the mold and agenda: The laboratory receives the mold prepared by the dentist along with detailed instructions.
- Preparation of plaster or digital model: From the mold, an accurate model of the patient's jaw (cast) is made. In the digital method, the 3D scan file is directly entered into the software.
- Design: The technician designs the prosthesis on the model or in the software according to the dentist's order and aesthetic and functional principles. Chrome-cobalt, the metal framework is fabricated and tested first.
- Ceramic or acrylic layering: In this artistic step, ceramic or acrylic layers of different colors and transparencies are placed on the substructure to create a completely natural appearance.
- Final baking and polishing: Prosthetics in Special furnaces are fired and then carefully polished to have a smooth, shiny and beautiful surface.
- Final quality control: Before sending to the dentist, the prosthesis is carefully controlled for fit, color, shape and function.
