Dental prosthetics includes all dental procedures that relate to the restoration and repair of teeth. Its primary function is to restore the functionality and aesthetic appearance of teeth that are damaged, lost, or incomplete.
It includes different types of prosthetic work, such as:
Through all of these procedures, the goal is for the patient to gain a functional, natural, and long-lasting smile. Dental prosthetics not only improves appearance but also significantly contributes to oral health and the patient’s quality of life.
Non-metal crowns are a perfect choice for those who want a natural look and high functionality for their teeth and implants. Made from materials like zirconium, these crowns offer exceptional strength and durability, while their natural appearance allows them to blend in perfectly with the surrounding teeth.
Unlike traditional metal crowns, non-metal crowns contain no metal elements, which means they don’t cause gum discoloration and provide a completely natural visual effect. They are ideal for both aesthetic procedures on front teeth and long-term solutions on implants, providing not only a beautiful appearance but also a lasting and comfortable result.
The advantages of non-metallic ceramics over metal-ceramics are numerous, and by utilizing modern materials and CAD/CAM technology, we achieve high aesthetics, durability, and functionality. The absence of metal makes these restorations more biocompatible and aesthetically acceptable. High resistance to fracture in a thin layer saves tooth substance, which also contributes to the durability of non-metal restorations.
Zirconium is an artificially produced material that possesses exceptional strength and beauty. Among all dental-ceramic materials, it possesses the best properties for modern tooth restoration. Due to the absence of metal beneath the ceramic, the tooth gains transparency and a natural look. Zirconium crowns save tooth substance, achieve exceptional precision in the marginal seal of the crown, are highly durable, resistant to fracture, and have outstanding aesthetic characteristics, which makes them the number one material in modern dentistry.
The price of non-metal crowns can vary depending on several factors, including the type of material used, the complexity of the procedure, and the patient’s specific needs. Although non-metal crowns are generally a bit more expensive than traditional metal ones, their long-term aesthetic effect and exceptional durability make them a worthwhile choice.

In addition to all the benefits of non-metal ceramics, some restorations are still made from metal-ceramic. These are crowns where metal is used as the base for the ceramic. It provides strength to ceramics. The alloy used for the metal base must meet specific requirements related to compatibility with the ceramic, good bonding, a thin metal substructure, and electrochemical stability. The metal-ceramic work we produce meets high aesthetic and functional demands with its precision and aesthetic appeal. Based on scanned impressions or working models, metal-ceramic restorations are now also made digitally with high precision, and old technologies for cast crowns have been replaced by digital and printed metal.
Today, chromium-cobalt-molybdenum alloys (nickel-free) are most commonly used due to their good properties and affordable price.
Ceramic veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic shells that cover the front, visible surface of a tooth, including the biting edge. Their primary purpose is to improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth, creating a natural and radiant smile. In addition to covering the visible side of a tooth, ceramic veneers can sometimes also be used to cover the inner or side surfaces, depending on the patient’s needs.
The indications for creating ceramic or composite veneers often overlap with those for non-metal zirconia crowns, but with the difference that the ceramic veneer method is less invasive. This procedure enables a superior aesthetic effect while maximizing the preservation of natural tooth tissue, making it an excellent choice for patients undergoing prosthetic treatment for the first time.
Crafting ceramic or composite inlays and onlays represents a further evolution of dental science regarding the aesthetic and functional requirements of fillings. Individual fabrication in a dental laboratory, after an impression is taken by the dentist, enables better modeling and imitation of tooth characteristics.
Maryland and Inlay bridges are a perfect solution for patients who want to avoid grinding down healthy teeth, preserve their natural structure, and at the same time resolve the issue of missing teeth. These bridges provide a secure and functional solution without the need for invasive procedures.
A Maryland bridge is a fixed bridge used to replace one or more teeth. Its advantage is that it doesn’t require grinding down the adjacent teeth. Instead, it uses innovative adhesive technology with metal or ceramic wings that are efficiently bonded to the inner surface of the healthy teeth on both sides of the missing tooth. This type of bridge offers an aesthetic solution and significantly reduces the need for invasive procedures.
Inlay bridges also do not require grinding down adjacent teeth and are used to fill the space between two teeth, creating a bridge that connects them. The difference from Maryland bridges is that Inlay bridges require great precision during fabrication but provide long-term results in situations where a precise and functional solution is needed. While Maryland bridges can be prone to excessive loads, Inlay bridges are more durable and provide stability in certain circumstances.
Both solutions enable the preservation of healthy teeth and provide patients with a high-quality and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional bridges.
Skeletal Vizil-Vironit dentures are a type of denture with special stabilization systems in the patient’s mouth. They allow for a reduced sensation of a foreign body, and the functional transfer of chewing forces more closely resembles that of fixed dental work or natural teeth.
Supradental dentures are a type of dental prostheses used to replace missing teeth. What distinguishes them from traditional dentures is that supradental dentures are placed on existing teeth or their roots, which provides better stability and functionality. These dentures offer a more natural feeling in the mouth, as they rely on existing teeth rather than the entire jaw, which allows for greater comfort and security during everyday use.
Full acrylic dentures are an effective way to replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. These dentures are removable, which means the patient can easily insert and remove them on their own. They are made from an acrylic material that provides the necessary strength and a natural appearance. Due to their simple use and adaptability, full acrylic dentures are a frequent option for patients who need a complete tooth replacement but do not want to undergo more demanding surgical procedures.
