A dental technician is a highly qualified dental specialist who, like a meticulous jeweller or blacksmith, creates, designs, and models both metal-ceramic crowns and the highest-quality prostheses produced using complex, advanced technologies. The dentistry and implantology specialists at “Ozo” clinic strive to ensure that you can enjoy a beautiful smile as quickly as possible, therefore prostheses are usually produced in no longer than 7 working days.
What are the methods of prosthetic treatment?
Fixed prostheses are produced at “Ozo” clinic. This type is divided into several separate categories. Prostheses may include:
- overlays;
- crowns;
- metal-free ceramic on implants;
- veneers.
“Ozo” dental technicians’ laboratory and the professional dental technician working here perform not only dental wax-ups, but also produce temporary restorations, veneers, and aligners. Our clinic also works with “Valplast” prostheses. They are a completely new and innovative method of prosthesis production. These prostheses are made from soft nylon thermoplastic, creating a flexible and very comfortable prosthesis. “Valplast” system prostheses are aesthetically attractive and light: no one will even suspect that you are wearing them.
Taking into account the condition of your oral cavity, wishes, habits, previous restorations, and financial possibilities, dentists will select the most suitable treatment method and the most suitable prostheses. You can be sure that all the above-listed prostheses are made only from the highest-quality, certified, CE-marked materials.
When is dental prosthetic treatment needed?
“Ozo” dental technicians’ laboratory and the highly qualified specialists working here produce only the highest-grade prostheses. A dental technician carefully and precisely creates individually adapted prosthetic shapes when a tooth or its structures are lost. The most common cases when dental prosthetic treatment is performed are when:
- the aim is to restore missing teeth;
- chipped teeth need to be restored;
- the aim is to strengthen weakened, fragile, or non-vital teeth;
- the aesthetic appearance of the teeth needs to be improved.
The most common causes of the above-mentioned problems are:
- dental fluorosis: when an excessive amount of fluoride damages the formation of dental tissues;
- dental erosion: when acid damages the hard tissues of the tooth;
- dental hypoplasia: when enamel or dentin forms incorrectly;
- dental trauma;
- nighttime teeth grinding.
“Ozo” clinic’s dental technicians’ laboratory can reduce the likelihood of dental trauma by producing sports mouthguards, which protect both the hard and soft tissues of the tooth. A dental technician also produces mouthguards used to protect the tooth structure from damage caused by teeth grinding. However, in other cases, when teeth are irreversibly damaged or lost, dental prostheses are already required.
Why is it necessary to restore missing teeth?
It is a fact that the oral cavity is the first part of the digestive system chain, therefore impaired dental health can also disrupt the physiological condition of the entire body. This leads to digestive system disorders and pathologies. What inconveniences affect people who have lost teeth? Some of them include:
- impaired food processing function;
- worsened facial aesthetics;
- harmful habits: covering the smile or laughter with a hand, pursing the lips to hide the teeth, and similar habits.
When teeth are lost, it becomes difficult to chew food, it gets stuck in spaces, and eating no longer brings pleasure—it becomes hard work. In addition, the person begins to experience psychological problems and lack of self-confidence due to changed facial appearance, such as a lowered lower third of the face and drooping corners of the lips, as well as the inability to smile freely. “Ozo” dental technicians’ laboratory and a professional dental technician can quickly and easily eliminate all these inconveniences.
