Prosthodontics Services

Our Irvine prosthodontic team crafts custom bridges and implant-supported dentures. We specialize in creating natural-looking, comfortable prosthetics that restore both function and aesthetics for seniors seeking permanent tooth replacement solutions.

Specialized Prosthetic Design

Prosthodontics is the dental specialty focused on designing and fabricating custom dental prosthetics to replace missing teeth. At our Irvine 92618 practice, our prosthodontic team brings advanced expertise to the creation of All-on-4 prosthetics.

Unlike conventional dentures, All-on-4 prosthetics are permanently attached to dental implants, requiring specialized design considerations:

  • Precise fit to the implant connection points
  • Optimal distribution of bite forces
  • Careful consideration of speech patterns
  • Natural aesthetics that complement facial features
  • Materials selected for durability and comfort

Our Irvine prosthodontists work closely with our surgical team to ensure your All-on-4 prosthetics provide optimal function, comfort, and appearance.

Types of All-on-4 Prosthetics

We offer several types of prosthetic options for All-on-4 implants, each with unique advantages:

  • Acrylic Hybrid Prosthesis: Combines acrylic teeth and gums with a reinforced framework. Lightweight and cost-effective, with excellent aesthetics.
  • Porcelain Hybrid Prosthesis: Features porcelain teeth for superior durability and stain resistance. Ideal for patients seeking the most natural appearance and longevity.
  • Zirconia Prosthesis: Monolithic zirconia offers exceptional strength and durability. Highly resistant to chips, stains, and wear, making it an excellent long-term investment.
  • PMMA Provisional Prosthesis: High-quality temporary prosthetics used during the healing phase that look natural while allowing adjustments for optimal comfort.

During your consultation at our Irvine office, we'll discuss the advantages of each option and help you select the best prosthetic solution for your specific needs and budget.

The Prosthetic Creation Process

Creating your custom All-on-4 prosthetics involves several precise steps:

  1. Digital Impressions: Using advanced intraoral scanners to capture precise measurements of your mouth and implant positions
  2. Bite Registration: Recording your jaw relationship to ensure proper function and speech
  3. Aesthetic Planning: Selecting tooth shape, size, color, and arrangement to complement your facial features and create a natural appearance
  4. Digital Design: Using CAD/CAM technology to design your prosthetics with precision
  5. Try-In Phase: Testing provisional prosthetics to ensure comfort, function, and aesthetics before final fabrication
  6. Custom Fabrication: Creating your permanent prosthetics using high-quality materials in our partner laboratory
  7. Final Placement: Precisely attaching your custom prosthetics to your All-on-4 implants
  8. Refinement: Making any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect fit and function

Throughout this process, our Irvine 92618 prosthodontic team works closely with you to ensure your new teeth meet your expectations for comfort, function, and appearance.
