Prosthetic Dentistry

Prosthetic dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry focused on restoring missing teeth and other oral structures to maintain optimal oral function. There are two types of prosthetics: fixed and removable. Our prosthodontic specialists carefully consider both aesthetic concerns and functional needs to help determine the best prosthetic solution for each patient. 

Fixed prosthetic treatment 

Crowns are structures that cover a tooth or an implant. Dentists often recommend crowns to reinforce weak, fractured, or misshaped teeth. At Dent Hekim Clinics, we use the highest quality materials to achieve the best results and meet the expectations of our valued patients. 

Ceramic dental crowns 

At Dent Hekim Clinics, we use ceramic crowns due to their high durability and natural tooth-like color. These crowns provide one of the best solutions for reinforcing broken, weak, or deformed teeth. They are typically metal-supported ceramic crowns. 

Zirconium dental crowns 

Although zirconia crowns fall under the category of ceramic crowns, they are made from zirconium dioxide, an extremely durable metal oxide with titanium-like strength. Compared to metal-supported porcelain crowns, zirconia crowns offer a more natural aesthetic. 

Emax dental crowns 

Emax crowns are known for providing maximum aesthetics, making them one of the most advanced types of porcelain crowns. While more delicate than zirconia or metal crowns, they are an excellent choice for patients prioritizing superior cosmetic results. Due to their sensitivity, they are not recommended for all areas of the mouth. 

Laminate veneers 

For patients looking to enhance their smile, laminate veneers offer an ideal solution. This minimally invasive procedure, often requiring little to no anesthesia, is a perfect option for achieving whiter teeth, concealing discoloration, and improving overall smile aesthetics. 

Porcelain laminate veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth through a specialized process known as bonding. Similar to artificial nails, their thickness is comparable to that of a contact lens, making them a highly conservative and non-invasive cosmetic treatment. 

Removable prosthetics 

Removable prosthetics are used to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. They are categorized into two main types: complete dentures and partial dentures. At Dent Hekim Clinics, our prosthodontic specialists provide the most suitable treatment options to ensure the preservation of natural teeth while replacing missing ones. 

Complete dentures 

Complete dentures are designed for patients who have lost all their teeth. These removable prosthetics rest on the gums and soft tissues, providing a comfortable and functional replacement for missing teeth. 

Partial dentures 

Partial dentures attach to natural teeth using specialized clasps and may be reinforced with crowns for additional stability. Due to their removable nature, they serve as an alternative to traditional dental bridges, offering flexibility in restoration options.
