Treatment Steps for Prosthesis
1. Initial Consultation and Examination
• A thorough oral examination is conducted to assess the condition of teeth, gums, and jawbone.
• X-rays or 3D imaging may be taken to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.
2. Impressions and Measurements
• Impressions of the upper and lower arches are taken to create precise molds of the mouth.
• Measurements are made to determine the alignment and bite.
3. Trial Fittings and Adjustments
• A wax or resin model of the prosthesis is created for trial fittings.
• Patients can see and evaluate the shape, size, and fit of the prosthesis, allowing for adjustments.
4. Final Prosthesis Fabrication
• The final prosthesis is crafted in a dental laboratory using high-quality materials like zirconium, porcelain, or titanium.
• This step ensures durability and a natural appearance.
5. Placement of the Prosthesis
• The prosthesis is securely placed and adjusted for a perfect fit.
• Dentists ensure the bite and alignment are correct to avoid discomfort.
6. Follow-Up and Final Adjustments
• After placement, follow-up visits are scheduled to ensure the prosthesis fits well and functions properly.
• Minor adjustments may be made for optimal comfort.
