Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the best prosthesis for my case?
It depends on the number of missing teeth, bone structure, and your preferences. Our team evaluates each case to recommend the ideal solution.
Are removable dentures uncomfortable?
Current prostheses are much more comfortable and well-fitted than those of the past, but fixed prostheses offer greater stability and a more natural appearance.
Is it possible to have a prosthesis fitted even without implants?
Yes, there are removable options that don't require implants. However, when possible, implants increase comfort and functionality.
