What is Prosthodontic?
Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry that replaces missing teeth and associated soft and hard tissues with prostheses that may be fixed or removable. It can also be supported and retained by implants.
Types of Prosthodontic
Fixed Prosthodontics
You might need fixed prosthodontics if you have had a root canal or your tooth is missing. It produces permanent dental prostheses. You cannot remove it after it is installed. Examples of fixed prostheses are artificial teeth, crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers.
Removable Prosthodontics
It focuses on producing dental prostheses that can be removed. For instance, dentures or partial ad gingival veneers. However, they are fitted to your jaw, so it will not fall out.
Implant Prosthodontics
Implants are small titanium cylinders that secure fixed prostheses inside the mouth. There are a variety of dental implants, such as crowns, removal implant dentures, or larger bridges.
Maxillofacial Prosthodontics
It corrects the malformed or missing tissues for present congenital or acquired due to disease, illness or injury. There are two types of maxillofacial prostheses – one is intra-oral, and the other is extra-oral. The intra-oral maxillofacial prosthesis includes palate lifts, jaw replacement and fluoride carrier, and extra-oral maxillofacial prostheses have ear, eye, nose, somatic, mid-facial or radiation field designed to use when undergoing radiation treatment.

How Much Would It Take You To Recover?
There are many factors to examine when it comes to recovery from the treatment, such as the type of procedure and the number of teeth that require treatment. Ask the prosthodontist about the timeline you are expecting. For instance, if you have received a single crown treatment, you can go back to routine activities immediately, but if you have complete dentures, you need to take a few days off from work.
