Therapy and prosthetics
Dental therapy is a procedure that examines and identifies various dental diseases, diagnoses their causes and selects the most effective treatment methods. Therapeutic dental treatment is particularly relevant for all patients who are struggling with the most popular dental disease - tooth decay. Tooth decay, also known as dental caries, is most often caused by poor oral hygiene. Poorly cleaned mouths accumulate plaque, which interacts with the acids and tooth tissue in the mouth and eventually causes damage to tooth enamel. During the therapeutic treatment, the dentist removes the caries-damaged tissues and fills the cleaned cavity. These factors protect the tooth nerve from various complications and damage. In cases where a patient no longer has one, several or a whole row of teeth, therapeutic dental treatment is usually replaced by another procedure - dentures. The restoration of lost teeth is usually carried out with removable or fixed dentures. Successful prosthetics restore the patient's full chewing function and the aesthetic appearance of the teeth.

Therapeutic dentistry is a relatively quick and painless procedure that can be performed under local anaesthesia. Timely therapeutic dental treatment effectively preserves healthy tooth tissues, which avoids more complex dental treatment processes and higher financial costs. In the case of more serious tooth damage or the extremely unpleasant factor of lost teeth, the most rational solution is dentures. Tooth loss can affect not only the deterioration of chewing function, but also psychological problems or digestive disorders. These effects are detrimental to the overall quality of life, so the loss of a single tooth or a row of teeth should certainly not be ignored. After a thorough dental examination, the dentist will suggest the most effective way of replacing the patient's teeth. Modern dental technologies and high-quality materials help to restore the original chewing function of the teeth and achieve a lasting result.
