Prosthetic Dentistry

Upper Hunt Club Offers Prosthetic Dentistry in Ottawa
Prosthetic dentistry is a wide-ranging field, so if you need to fill in the gap made by one or more missing teeth, you'll want to know what products are best for you. That's where the Upper Hunt Club Dental Centre comes in. We're a dental centre South Ottawa residents can count on for high-quality prosthetics.

Our clinic has been serving this region for more than 20 years, and we're continually educating ourselves on advances in dental technology. The following are just some of the products we offer.

Dental Crowns
We're proud to be a dental centre Ottawa residents depend on for cosmetic dentistry in addition to prosthodontics, and dental crowns are one product we offer that falls under both categories. These are tooth-coloured caps, usually made from porcelain, that go over teeth with imperfections like chips, cracks, and intrinsic stains. Our dentist could even make crowns that alter the size of small teeth and address uneven spacing.

Dentures and Bridges
Let us present you with dentures that look natural and fit securely. We'll first create an accurate impression or mould of the gum tissues in your gap, afterwards sending it to a lab where a full model of your mouth is created. The dentures will be made according to this model.

Dental bridges can fill any gap as long as there are two adjacent teeth. They are composed of one or more artificial teeth flanked on both sides by dental crowns. 

Dentures are removable, while bridges are permanent. However, neither bridges nor dentures exert enough pressure upon the jawbone to prevent it from deteriorating. With bone loss comes a loosening of the surrounding teeth, gum disease in certain cases, and overall difficulty eating and speaking. That's why if you want a permanent solution, you might consider implant-retained dentures.

Dental Implants
Implants refer to the screw-like titanium posts that provide a solid base for dentures as well as single false teeth. Getting implants will require oral surgery, as our dentist will be fusing the posts to the jawbone underneath the gums, but with our cutting-edge diode lasers, the procedure will be virtually painless. You could request implants for pre-existing denture.
