Initial Consultation
The dentist examines the teeth, gums, jawbone, and bite while discussing the patient's concerns and treatment goals.
Diagnostic Records
Dental impressions, digital scans, X-rays, and photographs are collected to assist in designing customized restorations.
Treatment Planning
The prosthodontist recommends the most suitable treatment options after evaluating the patient's oral health.
Tooth Preparation or Implant Placement
Depending on the procedure, damaged teeth may be prepared for crowns or bridges, or dental implants may be surgically placed into the jawbone.
Fabrication of the Prosthesis
Custom restorations are created in a dental laboratory using durable materials such as ceramic, porcelain, zirconia, acrylic, or metal alloys.
Final Placement
Once completed, the prosthesis is carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort and bite, and permanently cemented or attached when appropriate.
Recovery varies depending on the type of treatment performed.
Patients may experience:
● Mild discomfort
