Dentures: types, materials, costs & risks

Dentures are crowns, bridges, implants and prostheses. In our guide you will learn everything about the different denture treatments.

Dentures: What types are there??

Fixed dentures

Crown: A tooth crown can replace larger parts of a damaged tooth. The artificial crown is placed on the broken tooth and glued to it. This form of fixed dentures is mostly used when a tooth filling is no longer an alternative treatment, because the tooth is too badly damaged by caries or an accident.

Bridge: A dental bridge can replace one or more teeth. The natural teeth shown here are crowned and serve as bridge pillars. Accordingly, they must be strong and have healthy tooth roots in order to keep the bridge stable.
