It is the sector of dentistry which deals with the replacement of lost teeth with artificial teeth. The dental prosthetics combine the scientific knowledge with the laboratorial experience to attribute the expected results both functionally and esthetically. The prosthetic appliance can be either fixed or removable, depending on the needs of the patient and the anatomy of the area.
- the removable prosthetics include that that the individual can remove whenever he wants (total and certain).
- the fixed prosthetics include the ones that are attached to teeth. They include bridges, crowns, onlays and inlays that are bonded to suitable retainers( teeth or implants ).

FULL DENTURE
Dental prosthetic structures which replace all the missed teeth.
PARTIAL DENTURE
Dental prosthetic structure which rehabilitates one or more missed teeth by using natural teeth or the alveolar ridge or both of them. Partial dentures are composed of acrylic teeth on a base reinforced by metal structure.
CROWN
Crown is a structure which covers the tooth completely. For the construction of the crown, the tooth is prepared properly to provide the space needed. Crowns can be metal ceramic, metal acrylic or all ceramic (metal free).
BRIDGE
In case that one or more teeth are missed, we can cover the gap by manufacturing a bridge supported on the adjacent teeth. In this case we grind the adjacent teeth to provide the support needed for the bridge construction.
