FPDs are used for the replacement of one or more teeth that are missing. They require the preparation of teeth that supports them.

FPDs are one of the oldest type of dental works and their performance over time depend on the right preparation of the abutment teeth , their exact fit over the abutments, the quality of alloy that was used and the patients care. In order to achieve all that, careful dental work is needed, detailed impression of the teeth and the appropriate lab skills In our clinic FPDs require 5 fabrication stages. The preparation of teeth and the manufacture of a provisional FPD, the impression of teeth, the trial of bridge in the stage of metal framework and another one later in the stage of non-polished porcelain. Finally the bridge is cemented. 75% of FPDs remain in the mouth approximately 10 years and since their failure is accompanied usually with the loss of one or more abutment teeth the solution of dental implants as an alternative treatment plan became popular.

Sophisticated materials give us the ability to manufacture crowns with cervical porcelain finish so that the crown will not be detected through the gum line. We can also fabricate galvanoceramic crowns with a metal core from golden alloy of exceptionally high concentration in gold that attributes to a high aesthetic result. Last but not least we also use all ceramic crowns that since they do not have any metal support, they allow the penetrability of light through them and give a superior esthetic result.

The fee for teeth replacement with Dental Implants will depend on several factors, including the number of teeth being replaced and the number of implants required to support your replacement teeth. To obtain a specific fee estimate it is necessary to have your mouth examined. In the long run you will find that implant treatment may be cheaper than the alternatives because they last longer and do not need replacement as often.

we can prefabricate your dentures before the extraction of the remaining teeth. These dentures are called immediate.Immediate dentures are inserted right after the removal of the remaining teeth. To make this possible, the dentist takes measurements and makes the models of the patients jaws during a preliminary visit. The biggest advantage of immediate dentures is that the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period, both functionally and socially he remains active. However, bones and gums can shrink over time, especially during the period of healing in the first six months after the removal of teeth. When gums shrink, immediate dentures may require rebasing or relining to fit properly.

Using the new technology ceramic materials we are able to fabricate very thin prostheses that can be bonded to the labial surface of your teeth requiring minimal preparation of them. This type of prostheses are called porcelain veneers and provide our patients with excellent esthetic results by improving the teeths shape and color and their smile in general
