Prostheses can be fixed or removable.

• Fixed prostheses: crowns and bridges anchored to teeth or implants cannot be removed by the patient and are comparable to natural teeth. Other examples are veneers, specifically indicated for reconstructions and aesthetic cases.
• Removable prostheses: skeletal and total prostheses rest on soft tissues and residual teeth; they must be removed by the patient to carry out oral hygiene. The fact that they can be removed doesn’t mean they move when in use. These prostheses allow individuals to eat, talk, and carry out normal activities comfortably.

Choosing between one option or the other depends on preliminary diagnostic and clinical assessments and the patient’s expectations.

Prosthetics and Implant Prosthetics treatments can involve conscious sedation to ensure a more comfortable experience to the patient.
