In modern dentistry, many different methods are used to restore the dentition in case of partial or complete loss of its units. The choice of technology depends, in particular, on the timing of dental prosthetics. The difference in the duration of treatment can be up to several months, depending on how soon and how high-quality the patient wants to get.
Timing of prosthetics on implants
If the patient chose implantation to restore teeth, the final stage may occur in six months or longer. This is due to the fact that before the installation of prostheses you have to undergo several procedures and operations. In particular, when using the classical technique, before obtaining the final result it is necessary:
- insert artificial roots into the jaw - implants;
- wait until the rods are overgrown with bone tissue and stabilized;
- undergo the second surgical stage of implantation to install the former;
- after two weeks, install the abutment and take impressions to make the crown;
- do a fitting and, if necessary, correction of the prosthesis.
After all these manipulations, the time comes to install a permanent artificial tooth. The general time frame for prosthetics, including implantation, in this case can range from four to seven months.
Maintenance of installed structures
Patients should remember that caring for artificial teeth is no different from caring for natural teeth. It is very important to brush your teeth daily with toothpaste and a brush, and remove food debris after each meal. With removable dentures, this is a mandatory condition, since food debris between the artificial structures and the gums can cause inflammation.
Read more about caring for installed dentures in the material “How to properly care for removable and fixed dentures so that they last as long as possible.”
In addition, you should not eat too hard foods - nuts, seeds, crackers. Artificial teeth can easily break from excessive pressure.
Prosthetics in complex cases
The duration of treatment, or rather the timing of prosthetics, may increase even more if additional surgical procedures are necessary. For example, to install a crown or bridge on implants, bone tissue augmentation may be necessary, since its volume is not enough for the full “implantation” of a titanium root. In some clinical situations, it is also necessary to perform gum grafting, which requires additional time.
It is sometimes possible to install a prosthesis in such difficult conditions only after a year. This is due to the fact that you first have to wait until the bone material takes root. Then install the implant and allocate time for osseointegration (overgrowth of the rod with bone tissue). And only then will the production of the prosthetic structure begin. It is impossible to speed up treatment in such situations due to certain biological “laws” that no dentist can change. The fusion of bone tissue particles requires a certain time and this must be accepted and taken into account.

Time frames for manufacturing and installation of prostheses based on natural teeth
The choice of simpler prosthetic methods is usually explained by the desire to reduce the cost of treatment, as well as install crowns or bridges as quickly as possible. In this case, new teeth can be obtained in just a few days or a couple of weeks. This is exactly what is required to:
- treat, depulpate and prepare supporting units;
- take impressions, on the basis of which a crown or bridge will be made in the laboratory;
- try on and adjust the new design;
- install the prosthesis on the stump of the abutment tooth.
Modern progressive methods make it possible to restore a damaged tooth in one day. We are talking about using computer technology to design and manufacture a prosthesis in just a few hours, right in the dentist’s office. Such a crown is machined with high precision in a special milling machine, after which it undergoes finishing processing and is installed on the abutment tooth.
Repair of dentures
They try to make dentures durable and wear-resistant. Such that they can withstand prolonged mechanical stress and not break. Despite this, sometimes even the best quality prostheses break. The worst thing is when their base cracks.
The causes of breakdowns can be very diverse:
- Poor quality. The most common reason. The design may break because it was made incorrectly, from low-quality materials or without meeting technological requirements.
- Loose fit to the gum. If the denture does not fit well to the gum, this leads to its loosening, which can also cause breakage.
- Loss of an abutment tooth A denture may become unusable if the abutment tooth that supported the structure falls out. The dental unit may develop defects or cracks.
- Incorrect use of the prosthesis. In addition to manufacturing errors, the cause of failure can be the incorrect use of this installation. It may be subject to too much stress or mechanical stress.
- Lack of proper care. The oral cavity after prosthetics requires careful care. Neglecting basic hygiene rules can lead to the structure becoming unusable.
In addition, the service life of the prosthesis may simply end. After a certain period has expired, another should be done.
Breakage very often leads to the fact that the prosthesis can no longer be used. But there are also cases when you can limit yourself to repairs. A minor breakdown in a metal-ceramic installation can be fixed in one day.
To repair and solve the problem, you should seek help from a dental technician. He is the one who knows how to fix this or that structure. For repairs, he uses special substances and resins that can glue the damaged prosthesis and it will be like new. If a tooth falls off from the nylon structure, the technician can make a new one and restore the integrity of the denture.
Repairs begin with cleaning. First, the entire structure must be cleaned of dirt. Next comes the damage assessment. If they are not serious, you can use glue; more complex cases require more thorough repairs. If the denture has changed color, it can be easily corrected and soon your smile will shine again.
Some people believe that they can do the repairs themselves, but without proper education and materials, you can ruin the prosthesis and even harm your health. The work of repairing damaged structures should be left to a specialist. After all, he uses a special glue that does not harm the body, and you cannot use it at home.
If the denture is not repaired correctly, parts may break off. This could cause serious injury. Therefore, it is better to entrust repairs to a professional.
Terms of removable prosthetics
The manufacture of removable structures also requires some time. First, the dentist takes impressions of the jaws and sends them to the laboratory. Then it takes two to three days to make the models, after which the first fitting is carried out. About three to five more working days are required to produce the future prosthesis. After trying it on and fitting it takes about a week. The patient then tries on the design again and, if necessary, adjustments are made again. Thus, the production of removable orthopedic structures takes an average of three weeks.
Taking impressions and casts of jaws
In order for a technician to make a denture, he needs an accurate model of the patient’s jaw. Copying of jaws and teeth is done by taking impressions.
During the first visit, the doctor introduces an impression mass into the patient’s mouth on a special spoon. The patient closes his jaws and waits 2-3 minutes for the impression mass to harden. Then the patient opens his jaws and the doctor takes out an exact imprint of the patient’s jaw and teeth.
For patients, the first visit is absolutely not tiring and usually takes about 30 minutes.
