Dental prosthetics

This department deals with restoring tooth loss, which is unusually important both for the patient’s aesthetic well-being and with regard to reconstructing lost oral functions – such as speech and chewing. A well-planned and executed prosthetic procedure improves our appearance, confidence and comfort in everyday living. We treat each case on an individual basis. Each patient is offered a number of variants, both with regard to materials and cost. Our dentists Ann and Wacław Steczko , both specialists in dental prosthetics, will help you decide which optimal prosthetic solution will guarantee you both aesthetic well-being and comfort of use.

We offer:

- fixed prosthetic restorations

Czyli inlays, veneers, crowns and bridges. These restorations reconstruct individual teeth damaged by caries, improve their shape and colour, or recreate missing individual teeth. These prosthetic restorations are made from a variety of materials, one of the best of which is undoubtedly porcelain. This material offers us a lot of room for maneuver, as it enables us to give particular teeth their own individual character, i.e. provide them with an internal structure – colouring, cracks and mamellons – unique to the patient. All of this is done to ensure that the reconstructed tooth looks as natural and, thus, as beautiful as possible.
The porcelain can either be fired on metal (in our practice we use a chrome-cobalt or gold-platinum base, thus completely eliminating the need for a nickel base which can cause an allergic reaction), or we can use a metal-free porcelain called Procera, the substructure of which is an alumina or zircon oxide coping giving the aesthetic appearance of a natural tooth. By doing away with the need for a metal substructure we gain the effect of translucency – i.e. the effect of light passing through the tooth, as happens in the patient’s natural teeth. An additional advantage of using a metal-free ceramic is that we can, if the need arises, check teeth using magnetic resonance imaging without any danger or contraindications
Thanks to computer scanning and manufacturing the framework in a technological centre the Procera system allows us to adjust the implant ideally to the stump of the tooth and, as a consequence, ensure good seal. We can make permanent and endurable Procera bridges using a zirconia framework.

Zircon oxide – a material known since the end of the 19th century and recently a big hit in dentistry. It is a ceramic sinter that is very hard and mechanically durable after firing. It also gives a translucent effect and is used as a base for crowns and bridges, e.g. in the Procera system. Because of its biocompatibility it has recently begun to be used as a material for implants or implant-related components to achieve a natural aesthetic look.

- removable restorations

One of our surgery’s strengths is its use of telescopic dentures- this is a good, tried and tested removable prosthesis anchored in the patient’s own teeth by means of a double-crown system, one of which one is seated permanently in the patient’s teeth while the other forms an integral part of the prosthesis itself. Prosthetic devices of this type are very stable and durable. They ensure external splinting, which means they combine with the patient’s natural teeth to form a functional unit, and they transfer load to teeth along their long axis, which considerably increases their longevity in the mouth. An additional advantage is that the patient can do without a denture base or at least greatly limit its use.
For patients who opt for such prosthetic devices and who desire the perfect aesthetic look we would recommend zirconia telescopes.

- prosthetic devices with extra-coronal anchorage - in the case of these restorative appliances the supporting elements are also invisible to the eye. They ensure a good aesthetic appearance and are comfortable to use

- framework dentures with clasp retention

- implant supported restorations
