Why Prosthodontic Treatments Are Essential for Your Smile
Prosthodontics offers a solution to a wide range of dental issues, from missing teeth to severely damaged teeth. Here’s why prosthodontic treatments are essential for your smile:
Missing teeth can significantly impact your ability to chew and speak properly. Prosthodontic treatments restore normal function, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
Replacing missing or damaged teeth improves the appearance of your smile, helping you achieve a more youthful and confident look.
Gaps from missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to misalignment and further dental problems. Prosthodontics helps prevent such complications.
Prosthodontic treatments like implants and dentures support better oral hygiene and prevent issues like gum disease and bone loss.
Types of Prosthodontic Treatments We Offer
At JGHR Total Dental Care, we specialize in a variety of prosthodontic treatments tailored to meet your unique needs. Our services include:
Dental Crowns
Crowns are placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, and strength, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.
Dental Bridges
Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by attaching artificial teeth to adjacent healthy teeth. They restore both form and function while improving appearance.
Dentures
Whether you’re missing several or all of your teeth, dentures provide a removable solution to restore your smile. We offer partial and full dentures designed for comfort and durability.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. The process involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which serves as a replacement for the natural tooth root. A crown or bridge is then placed on top of the implant. We offer Conventional Implants and Cortical Implants, each suited for different patient needs.
Veneers
Thin, custom-made shells are applied to the front of teeth to enhance their appearance, making them look natural and aesthetically pleasing.
Cortical Implants vs. Conventional Implants
Both Cortical Implants and Conventional Implants are advanced solutions for replacing missing teeth, but they differ in their approach and applications.
Conventional Implants: These are the most commonly used type of dental implants. The process involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which integrates with the bone over time. A crown or bridge is then placed on top of the implant. Conventional implants are highly effective for patients with sufficient bone density and are designed to provide long-lasting results.
Cortical Implants: Cortical implants are designed for patients with insufficient bone density in the jaw, especially those who may not be suitable candidates for conventional implants. These implants are placed in the cortical bone (the outer layer of the jawbone) rather than the traditional placement in the trabecular bone. Cortical implants are an ideal solution for individuals with bone loss, providing greater stability and a faster recovery time compared to conventional implants.
At JGHR Total Dental Care, our team of prosthodontists will evaluate your dental condition and recommend the best implant option for you based on your oral health, bone structure, and aesthetic goals.
OPG Machine - CBCT Diagnosis
Accurate planning is the foundation of successful dental implant treatment. Our clinic utilizes state-of-the-art imaging technology, including the Orthopantomogram (OPG) machine and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), to deliver precise diagnostics. The OPG provides a panoramic view of the entire mouth, including teeth, jawbone, and sinuses, while CBCT offers 3D imaging for detailed assessment of bone density, nerve positioning, and implant site suitability. This advanced diagnostic approach ensures safer procedures, optimized implant placement, and long-lasting results.

The Prosthodontic Treatment Process
Our prosthodontic treatment process is designed to be thorough and comfortable. Here’s a general overview of what to expect when you choose JGHR Total Dental Care for your dental restoration:
1. Consultation and Examination
We begin with a detailed consultation, where we assess your oral health and take necessary imaging (X-rays, CT scans) to understand the structure of your jawbone and teeth.
2. Personalized Treatment Planning
Based on your specific needs, we will recommend the best prosthodontic solutions, including Conventional or Cortical Implants if necessary. We’ll discuss your treatment options and plan every step carefully.
3. Implant Placement (if needed)
If dental implants are part of your treatment, we will surgically place either a Conventional Implant or a Cortical Implant, depending on your bone density. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort.
4. Restoration and Fitting
After the implant has fused with the bone (a process that takes several months), we place the final restoration—either a crown, bridge, or denture—on the implant.
5. Follow-Up Care
After the procedure, we schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure your restoration is functioning properly. We also provide guidelines for long-term care to maintain your beautiful smile.
Frequently Asked Questions About Prosthodontics and Implants
Dental implants, including Cortical and Conventional Implants, are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The crown or restoration on top of the implant may need to be replaced after several years.
Cortical implants are ideal for patients with insufficient bone density in the jaw. While conventional implants are more commonly used for those with healthy bone structure, cortical implants offer a solution for those who may not be candidates for traditional implants, providing greater stability and faster recovery.
The implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should not experience pain during the process. Some discomfort is normal afterward, but it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, unlike dentures, which are removable. Implants help preserve jawbone density, provide a natural appearance, and restore full function, allowing you to eat and speak normally.
