Dental prostheses are custom-made from materials such as acrylic or porcelain, for dental aesthetics.
The function of dental prostheses is to rehabilitate the dentition in its physiological functions, such as chewing and swallowing food, as well as to avoid pronunciation problems.
Types of dental prostheses
There are different types of dental prostheses: complete dental prostheses, when they replace all the teeth in one of the arches, or partial prostheses, if they only replace some teeth.
They can be fixed or removable.
