Advanced Solutions for a Complete Smile

 

Prosthodontics at GT Dental Centre 

At GT Dental Centre, we are proud to offer advanced prosthodontic services to help our patients achieve healthy, functional, and beautiful smiles. Prosthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth. 

If you’re searching for trusted Whitby dental care that goes beyond routine checkups and cleanings, our prosthodontic services may be the solution you need. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our comprehensive prosthodontic treatments are designed to rebuild your smile with precision, durability, and aesthetics in mind.

 

What Is Prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on diagnosing, planning, and executing restorative treatments that replace missing or compromised teeth. A prosthodontist or general dentist with advanced training in this area provides complex rehabilitations using restorations such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants.

 

At GT Dental Centre, we offer prosthodontic services that include dental implants, implant restoration, hybrid prosthesis, and implant-retained dentures. These treatments help restore proper chewing function, support facial structure, and improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are one of the most popular and effective solutions in prosthodontics. They consist of small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial roots. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom restoration — such as a crown, bridge, or denture — is attached to complete the tooth replacement.

Although we do not place the implant posts at GT Dental Centre, we work closely with oral surgeons and specialists to coordinate your care. Once your implants are ready for restoration, we complete the final step by placing your custom crown or prosthesis right here in our Whitby dental office.

 

Benefits of dental implants:

  • Look and function like natural teeth
  • Prevent bone loss in the jaw
  • Support neighboring teeth
  • Improve bite and speech
  • Long-lasting and low maintenance

Implant Restoration

If you already have dental implants but need a new or updated restoration, our team can help. Implant restoration involves creating and attaching a new prosthetic tooth (or teeth) to an existing implant. This may be needed due to wear, damage, or changes in your bite or alignment.

At GT Dental Centre, we use modern materials and precision-matching techniques to ensure that your implant restorations blend perfectly with your natural teeth and fit comfortably.

Hybrid Prosthesis

A hybrid prosthesis is an advanced option in prosthodontics that combines the stability of dental implants with the full coverage of a denture. Sometimes referred to as an “implant-supported fixed denture,” this treatment uses multiple implants to secure a full arch of teeth in place.

Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and may shift or require adhesives, hybrid prostheses are fixed in place and do not need to be removed. This provides greater stability, improved chewing function, and a more natural appearance.

 

Ideal for:

  • Patients missing all upper or lower teeth
  • Individuals who want a permanent, non-removable solution
  • Those looking for enhanced comfort and functionality

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures are another prosthodontic option that combines dental implants with removable dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, which can shift and cause discomfort, implant-retained dentures attach securely to implants placed in the jaw.

This approach offers more stability while still allowing for easy removal when needed. Implant-retained dentures are an excellent solution for patients who want better support and improved function without committing to a fully fixed prosthesis.

 

Benefits:

  • Better fit and retention
  • Less gum irritation and discomfort
  • Easier eating and speaking
  • Improved jawbone health
