Tooth Prosthesis
Root Canal Treatment at Elit Klinik
What is a dental prosthesis and how is it done?
Dentures are removable appliances custom-made by dentists to replace lost teeth. They are artificial teeth that replace natural teeth lost due to gum disease, tooth decay or injury. In addition to aesthetic concerns, without teeth you cannot chew and digest your food properly. Dentures are used in cases of tooth loss such as tooth decay, tooth breakage or inadequate filling. Dentures are produced in shades that best match the color of the bone. Thus, the prosthetic tooth color of the person will have a natural appearance and the person will not have aesthetic problems.
What are the Types of Dental Prosthesis?
When you lose teeth, your facial muscles can sag and make you look older. In such cases, dentures can help to improve the appearance of your face and profile. In Turkey, dentures are a dental restoration treatment used to replace all teeth with fixed or removable dentures. At Elit Klinik, we offer a variety of options including fixed dentures, removable dentures and hybrid dentures .
Fixed Dental Prostheses
Fixed prostheses are applied to people with few teeth. The process starts with cutting the existing tooth of the person and then the existing tooth of the person is covered. Finally, the prosthesis is mounted on it. They are prostheses that are not removed by the patient.
The most important point in this type of prosthesis is that the tooth root is strong. There should also be no problems with the gums. In addition, fixed dentures take about 10 days to prepare and place in the mouth.
During this time, the person should visit the dentist 4 to 5 times. A fixed denture is a partial or complete tooth restoration treatment. In fixed dentures, we use many dental treatments to restore teeth, such as dental implants, dental bridges or crowns. In fixed dentures, tooth restoration is achieved by placing screw-like posts in the jawbone.
We will use these posts as supports to fix the prefabricated dentures in the mouth. Complete dentures are a non-removable dental treatment that the patient and dentist must pay attention to. Partially fixed dentures are used to replace adjacent or separated missing teeth. We can use single tooth implant treatment to restore missing teeth in more than one area of the arch.
We can also use dental bridges to restore one or more adjacent missing teeth. For this, the tooth or teeth adjacent to the missing one must be healthy. Elit Klinik dentists file and shape healthy teeth for the bridge that will cover the missing teeth. We use dental crowns in partially fixed dentures to replace teeth with damaged but healthy roots.
Our dentists will shape your damaged tooth and cover it with a crown. The crowns are fixed using special dental cement or dental glue.

What is a Fixed Prosthesis?
Fixed dentures are a type of dental restoration used to permanently replace teeth that are completely or partially missing. There are many different types of fixed dentures, which are dental implants, dental bridges and crowns. Fixed dentures combine well with natural teeth. Therefore, they offer an aesthetic appearance. This is why they are preferred. They are also robust and can withstand a lot of eating and chewing and increase speech capacity.
What are the Types of Fixed Prosthesis?
There are several types of fixed dentures, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Factors such as jawbone density, number of missing teeth, oral and dental health, and cost determine the appropriate treatment.
Dental Implants
In implant treatment, Elit Klinik doctors need to examine the jaw bone density of the patient where the implants will be placed. According to the result of the procedure, if the patient does not have the appropriate density, a bone grafting procedure is needed. To place the dental implant, Elit Klinik doctors will need to make an incision in the gum in place of the missing tooth(s). They will then insert a screw-like post and suture the incision. The post will be left for 3-6 months to integrate firmly with the jawbone (Osseointegration). Once the post is fully integrated with the jawbone, the patient will come back to the dentist for the placement of the abutment. The abutment is used to hold the denture (pontic) in place. Dental implants with good oral hygiene can last a lifetime. Of course, there are other implant procedures that can be alternatives, such as immediate implants, all-on-4 and all-on-6.

Tooth Bridge
A dental bridge is a permanent dental restoration solution used to replace one or more adjacent teeth. It is a treatment for multiple missing teeth. A crown is placed over the reduced teeth. In order to create the bridge, the teeth on both sides of the missing tooth must be healthy enough to support the bridge. Elit Klinik doctors reduce the healthy tooth to shape the enamel. The new shape of the abutment is placed to fit the crown that will hold the crowns of the missing teeth, creating a dental bridge. Of course, the crowns are then bonded with special dental glue to secure them in place. A dental bridge is a good solution for people who have lost one or more teeth. This is suitable for those looking for a quick dental treatment. Also, dental bridges are significantly cheaper than implants. However, with good oral hygiene, a dental bridge can last up to 15 years.
Crown Full Porcelain without Metal Support
Teeth that have lost material due to decay or other reasons, teeth that are different from their natural color are called crowns. Teeth whose color cannot be reversed, teeth that have undergone incorrect root canal treatment and teeth with deformities can be covered with crowns. Crown treatment is suitable for these teeth. In addition, any kind of coating on an implant is also called a crown. Dental crowns look like caps that cover the damaged tooth to protect it from further decay. There are common materials from which crowns are made:
- ceramic
- porcelain
- zirconium
Each material has different advantages in terms of cost, durability and strength. You can evaluate the best option for you with Elit Klinik doctors.

Hybrid Dentures at Elit Klinik
Hybrid dentures in Turkey are solid and fixed dental treatment that replaces the lower teeth, upper teeth or both. In hybrid dentures, we use 4 or 6 posts that are implanted into the jaw to permanently fix the dentures. Hybrid dentures also replace the gums. However, due to the need for implants, sufficient jaw bone density is required to ensure the success of the hybrid denture procedure. Your data will be sent to the dental laboratory for prosthetic fabrication. Once the posts are fully integrated with the jawbone, the permanent dentures will be fixed using the posts as anchors. This type of denture can only be removed by the dentist. Therefore, if you need to clean them, you will need to visit us in person.

How is a dental prosthesis made?
Before you get dentures at Elit Klinik, you need to go through several stages. These are all aimed at ensuring that prostheses are created that require minimal correction afterwards.
- Comprehensive Dental Examination: Elit Klinik doctors will first perform a comprehensive dental examination to find out the condition of your oral health. Some patients with periodontal problems may not be suitable for removable denture restoration treatment. For this reason, gum diseases should be treated before dentures are placed.
- Bite Sampling: To ensure the best precision when making dentures, Elit Klinik doctors use a centered tray. This tray temporarily determines the patient’s jaw relationship and occlusal plane. This procedure minimizes the subsequent adjustment to the denture impression, which will save a great deal of time and effort.
- Impression Creation: Elite Klinik doctors determine the occlusal position of the patient using the Gnathometer M device. This step helps doctors to get an accurate impression of the patient’s bite.
- Recording of Measurements: A UTS 3D will be attached to the Gnathometer M and the functional measurement data will be recorded.
- Personalized Prosthesis Design: Elit Clinic doctors will make prostheses according to the data they receive from the patient. They will use special materials such as resin.
- Implant Placement: This step requires patient participation. Here the patient comes to our clinic to try out new customized prostheses.
- As a final step, our doctors will check if they need to make any adjustments. However, with the exact procedure applied at Elit Klinik, no further adjustments are needed.
