Dental prosthodontics<\/strong> is a procedure designed to restore missing teeth or tooth crown defects, aiming to recover their functionality, aesthetics, and biological structure. Thanks to modern treatment technology, perfectly fitting prosthetics can be obtained on the same day. This is one of the simplest and fastest ways to enjoy a healthy and beautiful smile again.<\/p>

Why do tooth crown defects occur?<\/h4>

Tooth crown defects can occur for many reasons, such as cavities, wear of hard tooth tissues, chipping, or trauma. If damaged teeth are left untreated, serious problems can arise, including tooth loss. Both crown defects and missing teeth can be effectively restored using dental prosthodontic methods.<\/p>

More about the procedure<\/h4>

In cases of extensive tooth tissue defects (fractures, cracks, wear), tooth restoration is performed using ceramic inlays, onlays, crowns, or veneers.
