Fixed Partial Dentures
Welcome to Rutva Dental Care And Implant Center, where your smile and dental health are our top priorities. One of the standout services we offer is Fixed Partial Dentures (FPDs), a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth. Let us help you regain your confidence and functionality with our expertly crafted FPDs.
What are Fixed Partial Dentures?
Fixed Partial Dentures, often referred to as dental bridges, are permanent prosthetic devices designed to replace one or more missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures, FPDs are anchored securely to adjacent teeth or dental implants, providing a stable and durable solution that feels and functions like natural teeth.
Benefits of Fixed Partial Dentures
- Enhanced Functionality: FPDs allow you to chew, speak, and smile confidently without worrying about shifting or discomfort.
- Natural Appearance: Custom-made to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, FPDs blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
- Long-lasting Solution: With proper care, FPDs can last many years, making them a cost-effective investment in your oral health.
- Improved Oral Health: By filling the gaps left by missing teeth, FPDs help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth and prevent potential oral health issues.
The Fixed Partial Dentures Process
At Rutva Dental Care And Implant Center, we ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for our patients seeking Fixed Partial Dentures. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our experienced dentists will perform a comprehensive examination, including X-rays, to assess your dental health and determine if FPDs are the right solution for you.
- Treatment Planning: We will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan includes selecting the appropriate type of bridge (traditional, cantilever, or implant-supported) and discussing the materials to be used.
- Tooth Preparation: The adjacent teeth (abutments) are prepared to support the bridge. This involves reshaping these teeth to ensure a perfect fit for the crowns that will hold the FPD in place.
- Impressions: Precise impressions of your teeth are taken to create a model for the dental laboratory, where your custom FPD will be fabricated.
- Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth and gums while your permanent FPD is being made.
- Final Placement: Once your custom FPD is ready, you’ll return to our clinic for the final fitting. Our dentists will carefully adjust and secure the bridge, ensuring a comfortable and natural fit.
- Aftercare and Maintenance: We provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your new FPD, including proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
