Prosthetic Dentistry:

Prosthetic dentistry is that branch of dentistry that deals with replacing lost teeth. Teeth can be replaced by means which are fixed, e.g. crowns, bridges, implant, or removable e.g. complete dentures, partial dentures etc. Each case is different, and at beyond smiles after thorough consideration we advise on various possibilities on each case differently. Depending on individual needs, financial consideration, we advise an array of options to replace missing teeth; all explained in great detail including the advantages and disadvantages of each option and leave the ultimate decision to the patient.

Dentures

Dentures are a means to replace missing teeth in the mouth. Incase where all the teeth are missing, we make COMPLETE DENTURES and when only a few teeth are missing we make PARTIAL DENTURES. These are not fixed in the mouth and can be removed. However against popular belief, at beyond smiles, with the latest impression materials and a specialist prostho-dentist working on the patient, we can achieve good results with patient comfort even with removable dentures. Also today with the advent of implants, we can also offer implant supported dentures for superior stability and better functions not the mention superior esthetics with imported porcelain teeth incorporated into the denture.

Metal Free Crowns and Bridges:

Traditional crowns and bridges consist of a metal core on which the porcelain is built up to make them strong. These are known as PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL (PFM) Crowns. These crowns are strong, but however are very unaesthetic, opaque and look very artificial. The porcelain around the edges tends to wear off, chip off with time to expose the underlying metal. This metal then tends to stain the gums around the cap, and hence the gums around these caps tend to look black and tend to recede.

Nowadays with the latest is porcelain research and superior materials, we are able to achieve the same amount of strength and superior aesthetics with a more natural looking crown with metal free crowns. Here the core is made of a stronger porcelain (ZIRCONIA) which is as strong as a metal core and then built up with more natural looking. Also the gums around this crown more readily accept this crown and also remain healthy. These crowns come with international warranty and will be replaces free of cost by us incase of breakage, any porcelain chip etc. Every patient gets a warranty card directly from company with a personal name in association with beyond smiles.

Crowns:

Crowns traditionally known as caps are made in a special dental laboratory. In a tooth that is badly decayed, or after root canal treatment, after permanently filling the tooth, the size of the tooth is reduced, and after taking your impression, these caps are fabricated in the laboratory. These crowns are the same, size, shape and shade of color as your natural tooth, and no one can tell the difference. These crowns can be with a metal core with porcelain built up on it. These crowns are known as PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL CROWNS. Also at beyond smiles we offer FULL CERAMIC or METAL FREE CROWNS that are more esthetic and safe.

Bridges:

When a tooth is lost dude to decay, and is removed, the tooth can be replaced by means of a fixed bridge. In this process, we take support of the neighboring teeth to the empty space, and make a bridge in the laboratory and cement it onto the neighboring teeth hence replacing the missing tooth. This is fixed, strong, and can serve you a lifetime if done correctly. At beyond smiles we offer a warranty on all our crowns and bridges and replace / re-cement them at no extra cost incase of breakage, loosening etc.
