Fixed & Removable Prosthodontics in Fort Wayne, IN

Understanding Fixed and Removable Options

Prosthodontics covers a range of restorations designed to replace missing or damaged teeth, generally falling into two categories. Fixed options, such as crowns and bridges or implant-supported restorations , remain permanently in place and function much like natural teeth. Removable options, such as partials or dentures , can be taken out for cleaning and offer more flexibility for certain patients.

The right choice depends on factors like how many teeth need replacement, the condition of your jawbone and gums, and your personal preference for a fixed versus removable solution.

Planning Your Prosthodontic Treatment

Every treatment plan begins with a detailed look at your specific needs.

• Comprehensive evaluation - Your teeth, gums, bite, and jawbone condition are assessed to determine the most suitable approach.
• Treatment planning - Digital imaging and impressions help design a restoration that fits comfortably and functions naturally.
• Fabrication - Your custom restoration, whether fixed or removable, is carefully created to match your bite and appearance.
• Fitting and adjustment - The final restoration is placed and adjusted to ensure comfort and proper function.
