Dental restorations – also called dental prosthesises – are the fixed or removable replacements of missing teeth.

Losing teeth has an effect on the appearance, behaviour, nourishment and self-confidence.The most important disadvantage of having less teeth is the decrease of the chewing-ability.

A person, who does not have enough teeth can not chew food properly and this may cause disorders of the digestive system. The primary function of dental prosthesises is to restore chewing-ability and to eliminate speech defects. Nevertheless, its aesthetic value is also very important.

Even one missing tooth can reduce the facility of mastication and cause disharmony. It has an other detriment in addition. The neighboring teeth will start to slant and move from their original position. So the opposite tooth in the other jawbone will rise and get loose.

This can be avoided by replacing the missing tooth in time.
