What is a dental prosthesis?
A dental prosthesis is a fixed or removable restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It can be partial or complete, fixed (on teeth or implants) or removable (like a denture), and it allows you to chew again, speak normally and restore the harmony of your smile.
What types of dental prostheses do we offer?
- Fixed implant-supported prostheses: crowns or bridges attached to dental implants that provide a stable, aesthetic solution.
- Removable partial dentures: replace some teeth and rest on the natural teeth with discreet frameworks.
- Complete removable dentures: full dentures that replace all the teeth in an arch.
- Hybrid prostheses or overdentures: supported by implants, they combine fixed and removable elements for greater comfort and retention.
How much does a dental prosthesis cost in Lima?
The price of a dental prosthesis depends on many factors: the type of prosthesis (fixed, removable, hybrid or implant-supported), the number of teeth to be replaced, the materials, whether implants or prior treatments are needed, and the condition of your gums and bone. That is why, at your evaluation, we make the diagnosis and give you a fixed, detailed quote for your case.
When is a dental prosthesis recommended?
- When one or more teeth are missing and cannot be restored with conventional crowns.
- In cases where several teeth have been lost.
- If you wear an old prosthesis that causes discomfort or makes you feel insecure about its appearance or function.
- To improve chewing, speech and quality of life.
- As part of a full-mouth oral rehabilitation plan.
What is the process for making a dental prosthesis?
Clinical evaluation and diagnosis
We perform an oral exam, X-rays, an intraoral scan and digital planning of your case.
Prosthesis design
We select the materials, shape, color and fit, taking both aesthetics and function into account.
Fit try-in
We check how it fits your gums, bone and bite, and make any necessary adjustments.
Final placement
We place the final prosthesis and confirm its function, stability and harmony with your smile.
Follow-up and adjustments
We schedule regular appointments to check your gums, retention and wear, and make adjustments if needed.
Why do we have our own digital dental lab?
We design and fabricate prostheses in our own digital dental lab, without sending them to an outside laboratory. This lets us control every stage of the process, from the intraoral scan to CAD design and fabrication, shorten wait times and make adjustments directly. It also allows us to schedule rehabilitations within timeframes that work for a dental tourism trip.
How do you care for a dental prosthesis?
- Clean daily with a soft toothbrush and dental floss, or with products designed specifically for prostheses.
