Different fixed prosthesis options are available for your single or multiple missing teeth. Which fixed prosthesis is suitable for you is determined by your dentist by evaluating your mouth structure and the location of the missing teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fixed_Prostheses_for_Single_Tooth_Deficiency\"><\/span>Fixed Prostheses for Single Tooth Deficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case of a single tooth deficiency, a fixed prosthesis called a crown is usually preferred. A crown is a cover that is placed on the missing tooth and covers the entire surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crown Application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The adjacent teeth of the missing tooth are slightly abraded. The tooth is measured and a personalized crown is prepared in the laboratory. The prepared crown is cemented onto the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fixed_Prostheses_for_Multiple_Teeth_Deficiency\"><\/span>Fixed Prostheses for Multiple Teeth Deficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case of more than one missing tooth, fixed prostheses called bridges are usually preferred. A bridge is a structure that is prepared by supporting the healthy teeth next to the missing teeth and completes the missing area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bridge Application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The healthy teeth next to the missing teeth are slightly abraded. The teeth are measured and a bridge is prepared in the laboratory. The prepared bridge is cemented onto the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Fixed_Prostheses\"><\/span>Advantages of Fixed Prostheses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They provide an aesthetic appearance because they are prepared in colors and shapes suitable for your teeth. Can be used for many years with proper care. It allows you to chew and speak comfortably like your own teeth. Eliminates the loss of self-confidence caused by missing teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages_of_Fixed_Prostheses\"><\/span>Disadvantages of Fixed Prostheses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In bridge applications, the abutment teeth need to be slightly abraded.

Use dental floss for interdental cleaning. Visit your dentist every 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Types_of_Fixed_Prostheses\"><\/span>What Are the Types of Fixed Prostheses?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Porcelain Dental Veneers: It is divided into two as metal-supported and metal-free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>E-Max Veneers: These are glass-ceramic veneers that provide high aesthetics. It belongs to the group of metal-free porcelain veneers. Thanks to its transparent structure, it closely resembles the appearance of natural teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Porcelain Laminate Veneers (Laminate Veneer): Thin porcelain veneers are applied to the front surfaces of the teeth. Shape irregularities, discolorations, gaps and minor crowding in the teeth are corrected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zirconium Veneers: Instead of metal-supported porcelain, aesthetic and durable zirconium material is used. Especially provides a natural look in anterior teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maryland Bridge Treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inlay-Onlay-Overlay Aesthetic Dental Fillings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implant-Supported Prostheses: Missing teeth are completed with implant applications. Aesthetic prostheses are placed on it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_Lets_Examine_the_Fixed_Prostheses_in_Detail\"><\/span>Now Let&#8217;s Examine the Fixed Prostheses in Detail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Porcelain_Dental_Veneers\"><\/span>Porcelain Dental Veneers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porcelain dental veneers are thin, durable, and natural-looking restorations used to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of teeth. Porcelain veneers are preferred to be applied to the front surface or the entire tooth to correct color, shape, size, and alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Which Cases Is It Used?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Color Disorders: Permanent discolorations that cannot be removed with teeth whitening.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shape and Size Disorders: Small or disproportionate teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worn Teeth: Teeth that have shrunk due to enamel loss or wear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cracks and Fractures: Strengthening by preserving the natural structure of the tooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Closing Gaps (Diastema): Elimination of gaps between teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orthodontic Alternative: For mild crowding and alignment problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Porcelain Dental Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal-Supported Porcelain Dental Veneers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Metal-supported porcelain veneers are restorations that are placed on the teeth to provide durability and aesthetics. It is applied to teeth with great substance loss and discoloration due to caries, teeth broken due to trauma, missing teeth, and teeth with crowding and shape irregularities. Porcelain veneers offer a natural tooth appearance and are long-lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Metal-supported porcelain veneers are especially preferred for teeth in the posterior regions, if they will be abutment teeth in removable dentures, and in implant-supported restorations. They are more economical. However, they are less preferred today in the anterior region, both aesthetically and due to the possibility of reflection of the metal along the gingival margin when gingival recession occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal-Free (Full) Porcelain Dental Veneers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full porcelain veneers are an aesthetic dentistry application that covers the entire tooth and gives the closest result to the natural tooth appearance. Since these veneers are made of tooth-colored porcelain material, they provide both a durable and natural appearance. Emax porcelains, Empress veneers, Laminate veneer veneers, and Zirconium dental veneers can be given as examples in this group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Metal-free porcelain dental veneers are suitable for those with discolored teeth, broken or decayed teeth, gaps between teeth, worn teeth, and those with deformities in their teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this way, discolorations, shape distortions and gaps in the teeth are eliminated. Since porcelain is harder than tooth enamel, it is resistant to abrasion. It is a suitable option for people with metal allergies because it does not contain metal. It can be used for many years if proper care is taken. However, it is more costly than other treatment methods. It is not reversible after application. The teeth need to be abraded a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E-Max Porcelain Dental Veneers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E-max porcelains are one of the most preferred full porcelain veneer types in dentistry in terms of aesthetics and durability. E-MAX veneers, which are produced from a special glass-ceramic called lithium disilicate, perfectly imitate the brightness and transparency of natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E-max porcelains have higher aesthetic properties than other porcelains. This is due to the higher glass phase. As the glass phase increases, the translucency of the porcelains increases and a result closer to the appearance of natural teeth is obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E-max porcelains provide a natural and aesthetic appearance, especially in anterior teeth. They are also extremely durable and long lasting. Thanks to its high strength properties, it is resistant to breakage and cracks. This makes them an ideal option not only for aesthetic purposes, but also for functional restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E-max porcelains are especially preferred as permanent solutions for teeth whitening procedures in patients with discolored teeth, those who use coffee and cigarettes a lot and cannot quit, and at the same time want a white aesthetic appearance. They are preferred more in congenital tooth deficiencies, in diastema (spaced) teeth, in anterior teeth with deformed forms or congenital enamel defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prices of E-max porcelain may vary depending on the dentist, dental technician, the quality of the materials to be used, and the method of manufacture. They are more expensive because laboratory costs are higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of Porcelain Dental Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Natural Appearance: Porcelain reflects light like natural teeth, which provides excellent aesthetic results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Durability: Lasts for many years with proper care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stain Resistance: The porcelain surface is resistant to substances such as coffee, tea or cigarettes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biocompatible: Compatible with gums and low risk of allergies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solution to Various Problems: It can be applied to many aesthetic and functional dental problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages of Porcelain Dental Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High Cost: More expensive than composite veneers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being Permanent: Since the tooth enamel is abraded, there is no turning back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk of Breakage: It can break if it receives a hard blow (but it is durable).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time-Consuming Process: Preparation and application can take several weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Care and Lifespan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porcelain veneers usually last for 10-15 years. However, this period can be extended with proper care. Brush your teeth regularly every day and use dental floss. Hard foods should be avoided. Foods such as ice and hard-shelled nuts can crack porcelain. Visit your dentist regularly to maintain the health of your veneers and gums. Veneers can be protected by using a nightguard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Laminate_Veneers\"><\/span>Laminate Veneers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laminate veneers are thin porcelain leaves that are placed on the front surface of the teeth. This treatment is used to correct color changes, shape irregularities, and slight misalignments in the teeth. Laminate veneers provide an aesthetic result while preserving the natural tooth appearance and cause minimal damage to the tooth structure. It is applied clinically by the dentist. This method, which is applied to achieve an aesthetic and natural smile, is used to correct the shape, color and size of the teeth. It is usually applied with minimal tooth abrasion and is a long-lasting solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Areas of Use of Laminate Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Removal of permanent stains (antibiotic, fluoride excess) and yellowing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Closing the gaps between teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repair of minor fractures and abrasions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Correction of asymmetrical and disproportionate teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Correction of slight crowding (as an alternative to orthodontics).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Hollywood Smile and digital smile design applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laminate Veneers Application Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The patient&#8217;s complaints and aesthetic expectations are evaluated. Planning is done with digital measurements and smile design programs. A very thin abrasion of 0.3-0.7 mm is made from the tooth surface. (Minimally invasive procedure) Abrasion is sometimes not necessary at all (prep-free veneer). Temporary veneers are placed. Measurements are taken with digital scanning devices or classical measurement methods. The measurements are sent to the laboratory. Porcelain laminates are prepared from aesthetic and durable materials in the laboratory. The laminates are fixed to the tooth using special adhesives (resin cements). Color harmony and symmetry are checked. Bite and closing adjustments are made. Polishing process is applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of Laminate Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It has a natural tooth appearance; thanks to its light transmittance, it looks like a real tooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The structure of the tooth is largely preserved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is resistant to staining substances such as coffee, tea and cigarettes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provides 10-15 years of durability with proper care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sensitivity problems are minimal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Usually completed in 2-3 sessions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is It Suitable For?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Patients with aesthetic concerns about tooth color, shape and arrangement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patients with gaps between teeth or with slight crowding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patients with worn, broken or cracked teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for patients who want smile design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is It Not Suitable For?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Those with jaw disorders or severe teeth clenching problems (bruxism)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Those with gum diseases (should be treated first)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teeth with excessive substance loss (veneers may be required)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is not suitable for those with bad habits (nail biting, pen biting)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Care for Laminate Veneers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular brushing (2 times a day) and flossing are recommended. Hard objects (cracking walnuts, biting pens) can damage laminates. Checks should be done every 6 months. A protective plate is recommended for patients with teeth clenching habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zirconium_Dental_Veneers\"><\/span>Zirconium Dental Veneers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zirconium dental veneers are a popular option for both aesthetics and durability. It offers a more natural appearance than metal-supported dental veneers and is generally preferred for anterior teeth. Monolithic dental veneers, on the other hand, are made of a single piece of zircon material and are often used in posterior teeth due to their durability. Zirconium dental veneers are ideal for patients with high aesthetic expectations and provide excellent results in anterior teeth. Monolithic zircon dental veneers, on the other hand, stand out with their durability and are a more suitable option for posterior teeth. Which type of coating will be chosen should be determined by the dentist according to the patient&#8217;s needs, tooth structure and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. ZIRCONIUM DENTAL VENEERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zirconium dental veneers are aesthetic dental veneers that use a white-colored, highly light-transmitting ceramic material (zirconia dioxide) instead of metal in their infrastructure. Compared to metal-supported porcelains, it offers a more natural appearance and is tooth-friendly because it is biocompatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is very close to the natural tooth appearance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High light transmittance, which provides a natural and bright appearance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is as durable as metal and shows high resistance to chewing forces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does not cause allergic reactions and is compatible with gums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resistant to staining such as tea, coffee and cigarettes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It does not cause dark discoloration in the gums like metal-supported veneers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does not cause hot-cold sensitivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zirconium Dental Veneer Application Process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shape and color of the teeth are evaluated. The teeth are abraded 1-2 mm as much as the future material amount. Digital or conventional measurements are taken and sent to the laboratory. Temporary veneers are placed to protect the prepared teeth. The patient uses temporary veneers until the permanent zirconium veneers are ready. In this way, the patient spends this period more comfortably, both in terms of cold and hot sensitivity in the teeth, and in terms of aesthetics and gingival health. Zirconium substructure is prepared. First, the substructure is tried on. If the harmony between the zirconium substructure and the teeth is good, the next stage is passed. Porcelain material is aesthetically processed on the zircon substructure in the laboratory. After a final rehearsal to make sure everything is fine aesthetically and functionally, the teeth are polished (glaze). The prepared zirconium veneers are permanently bonded to natural teeth with resin-based cements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of Zirconium Veneers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Provides a very similar appearance to natural teeth. It can be used safely even on posterior teeth. It does not carry the risk of allergies. It shows 10-15 years of durability. (Patient&#8217;s oral care is also important here.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. MONOLITHIC ZIRCONIUM DENTAL VENEERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monolithic zircon dental veneers are veneers that are produced entirely from a single piece of zirconium. Porcelain is not added on it, so it is more durable and is especially preferred for posterior teeth where chewing forces are high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Made of solid block zirconium, so it is more robust than layered veneers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monolithic restorations are especially preferred if there is a problem with the occlusal distance in the posterior regions, that is, if the crown height needs to be short.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It has a strength close to metal-supported porcelain and is resistant to breakage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is not as transparent as full porcelain but aesthetically sufficient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since there is no porcelain layer, there is no risk of abrasion, cracking or peeling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provides long-term durability, especially in posterior teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does not cause irritation in the gums.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monolithic Zircon Dental Veneer Application Process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tooth measurements are taken and digital design is done. It is prepared by carving from a single block of zirconium with CAD-CAM technology. The prepared veneer is polished and cemented to the tooth after trials in the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of Monolithic Zircon Dental Veneers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to its high strength, it is used safely in posterior teeth. There is no risk of abrasion and breakage thanks to its porcelain-free structure. It does not contain metal. It is ideal especially in cases requiring durability in the posterior region. It is preferred because it is a single layer in teeth where the crown height needs to be short, where the occlusal distance is very small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maryland_Bridge_Treatment\"><\/span><strong>Maryland Bridge Treatment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maryland bridge treatment is a type of dental prosthesis used to complete missing teeth. Compared to traditional bridges, much less abrasion of the tooth tissue is sufficient. It is especially preferred in short tooth gaps in the anterior region, when we want to choose a minimally invasive treatment method without abrasion from the teeth. They are also much more economical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maryland bridge treatment may not be suitable for every missing tooth. The location of the missing tooth, the patient&#8217;s oral hygiene, the presence or absence of teeth clenching or grinding habits, the way of eating, the relationship between the lower and upper jaw teeth (closing of the teeth) are evaluated by the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maryland bridge construction: The dentist first performs an intraoral examination and evaluates the suitability of the bridge. Minimal abrasion is done on the adjacent teeth and measurements are taken. The bridge is produced in the laboratory according to the measurements taken. It is made using metal, porcelain or zirconium materials. The prepared bridge is cemented to your teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advantages: Less tooth tissue loss occurs as very little abrasion is done on adjacent teeth. It can be produced in accordance with the natural tooth color. It can be applied in a shorter time than other bridge types. It is generally more economical than other bridge types.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disadvantages: May be less durable than other bridge types, especially in areas where chewing force is intense. It can stain over time. It can be more sensitive to impacts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The life of Maryland bridges varies depending on your personal care, eating habits and oral health. To extend the life of the bridge, it is important to avoid hard foods, brush your teeth regularly, use dental floss, and have regular check-ups with your dentist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inlay-_Onlay-_Overlay_Aesthetic_Dental_Fillings\"><\/span>Inlay- Onlay- Overlay Aesthetic Dental Fillings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inlay, Onlay and Overlay Restorations are indirect restorations frequently used in modern dentistry. They are important for the protection of the tooth structure, the provision of an aesthetic appearance, and the provision of long-lasting solutions. These restorations are made of durable materials that match the natural color of the tooth and provide a long-lasting solution by preserving the structure of the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is decided which one will be used depending on the size and location of the damage to your tooth. Inlays are generally preferred for small cavities, while onlays and overlay restorations are preferred for larger cavities or fractures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the treatment process, the condition of the tooth is evaluated and the appropriate type of restoration is determined. Carious or damaged tissue is cleaned. Precise measurements are taken from the tooth and sent to the laboratory. Temporary filling is applied until the laboratory process is completed. The prepared restoration is cemented to the tooth and polished to complete the process. Inlay, onlay and overlay restorations offer modern solutions that preserve the aesthetic and functional properties of the tooth. Which method will be used is determined according to the patient&#8217;s dental condition, chewing function and aesthetic expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. INLAY RESTORATIONS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a type of filling placed in the pits (fissures) and indentations on the chewing surface of the tooth. Only carious or damaged parts are treated, preserving the tubercles (protrusions) of the tooth. It is applied in the restoration of small or medium-sized caries, replacement of old amalgam fillings, treatment of fractured teeth, and in cases requiring a minimally invasive approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Porcelain or composite materials are prepared in accordance with the natural tooth color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It fully adapts to the tooth with precise laboratory procedures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More durable than direct fillings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prevents unnecessary tissue loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>However, it is more costly than other filling types.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The procedure is completed in two sessions. (measurement and placement)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. ONLAY RESTORATIONS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Onlay restorations cover a wider area than inlays. It covers a larger part of the chewing surface of the tooth and can restore more structures. It is used in larger caries and broken teeth, strengthening weak and cracked teeth, and in cases where the tooth needs to be restored without the need for a crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gives the tooth a natural look while providing a strong chewing function. Requires less tooth preparation compared to crowns. Material durability is high. Porcelain or ceramic materials are in harmony with tooth tissues. It adapts better to the natural shape and function of the tooth. However, it requires more preparation and cost than inlay restorations. It cannot be completed in a single session as there is a laboratory stage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. OVERLAY RESTORATIONS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overlay restorations are similar to onlays, but cover a larger area of the tooth, sometimes even the entire tooth. It is used to restore most of the chewing surface. It is a minimally invasive solution preferred as an alternative to crown restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Used in teeth worn due to bruxism (teeth clenching), strengthening of teeth weakened after root canal treatment, repair of deep caries or treatment of large fractures, and restoring aesthetics and function in patients in need of prosthetic rehabilitation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less tissue loss than crowns. Ceramic and porcelain materials are prepared in the appearance of natural teeth and are long-lasting. Preserves the remaining healthy tissue of the tooth. Provides both aesthetic and functional restoration. However, it is expensive. The preparation time and laboratory stages take time. Requires sensitive bonding techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials Used<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Porcelain (Ceramic): The closest material to natural tooth color. Provides high durability and aesthetics. Biocompatible with gums and does not stain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Composite Resin: More affordable. Offers moderate durability and aesthetics. Suitable for small restorations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gold Alloy: The most durable material. It is used in areas where aesthetic expectations are low (for example, in posterior teeth).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Aesthetics: They match the natural color of the tooth, so they give a more natural result in terms of appearance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Durability: The materials used are durable, so they are long-lasting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preserves tooth tissue: They require the removal of a small amount of tooth tissue, so the natural structure of the tooth is preserved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hygienic: Reduces plaque build-up thanks to its smooth surfaces, thus reducing the risk of tooth decay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fixed prostheses are permanent solutions that replace missing teeth, beautify your smile, and support your chewing function.
