What is

Prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is a specialty focused on the restoration of teeth, both in full and in part, using prosthetics such as porcelain dental crowns. Prosthodontists are experts in restorative dentistry, and Dr. Guldalian underwent rigorous training to become certified. Whether you are at Nova Dental to receive an implant, crown, bridge, veneers, or another prosthetic, you’re in qualified, skilled hands with Dr. Guldalian.

Modern dental prosthetics focus primarily on improving the aesthetics of a smile and restoring the comfort and joy of life. It is a branch of dentistry responsible for repairing or re-creating the proper functioning of teeth. Damaged, incomplete, and unsightly teeth have serious consequences for their owners’ health, well-being, and self-confidence. A beautiful, beaming smile is the best showcase of every human being, and dental prosthetics help to achieve that significant goal. Prosthetic treatment consists of several stages, the most important of which is full diagnostics and determining the patient’s expectations. Based on your dentist’s experience, innate aesthetic talents, the latest diagnostic equipment, and the world trends within the industry, an individual treatment plan is prepared, which includes guidelines for preparatory procedures for prosthetic treatment on your own teeth or implants.

Prosthodontics Procedures

The most critical aspect in the performance of prosthetic works is passion, and the combination of art, knowledge, experience, and technology guarantees the most breathtaking results. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Guldalian offers a wide range of services, including restorative, general, and cosmetic treatments:

• Dental implants and restorations – Dental implants require a skilled hand and expertise to ensure that they look and feel natural. Nova Dental is an ideal choice for any dental implant and for the placement of implant-supported restorations, including crowns, bridges, and dentures.
• Dental crowns and bridges – Dental crowns are “caps” that cover the entire surface of the tooth above the gum line, restoring and protecting damaged teeth. Dental bridges use two healthy “abutment teeth,” which are capped with crowns to replace one or more adjacent missing teeth.
• Porcelain veneers – Porcelain veneers are used to cover up minor cosmetic defects in the teeth by replacing the chewing surfaces of the teeth with a wafer-thin, tooth-shaped prosthetic. Indications include:
  - Unsightly gaps between the front teeth
  - Tooth discoloration difficult to whiten
  - The unappealing shape of the teeth
  - The uneven positioning of the teeth
  - Fracture of enamel
  - Defects of edges and angles
  - Underdevelopment of enamel and dentin
• Dentures – Prosthodontists have a deep understanding of how the bite is affected by the teeth. Dr. Guldalian combines knowledge with compassion and creates partial and full-arch dentures that will look and feel natural. A denture is a dental prosthetic supplement used in the case of multiple dental losses or complete toothlessness. Their primary purpose is to restore lost oral functions.
• Full mouth restorations and comprehensive care – At Nova Dental, we take on extensive cases because we believe every patient deserves a happy, healthy smile. Whether your teeth have been damaged in a car accident or by dental health issues like advanced gum disease or tooth decay, we can give you your smile back.

How to prepare for prosthetic treatment?

The critical issue that must be addressed before any prosthetic treatment is to take adequate care of oral health. It is important to treat cavities, gingivitis and to develop good oral hygiene habits and routines. Professional teeth cleaning with tartar removal should also be addressed prior to treatment. Such preparation of your oral cavity reduces the risk of future tooth decay after administering prosthetic treatment. It might be challenging to detect oral issues present under the restorations.
