Dentures in Munich: Function, Aesthetics and Quality of Life

A complete and healthy set of teeth is essential for quality of life. If teeth are missing or severely damaged, this can not only impair chewing function and the ability to speak, but also reduce self-confidence. Today, modern dentures offer a variety of solutions to replace damaged or missing teeth functionally and aesthetically.

In our practice in Munich, all options are available to you: crowns for the protection and stabilization of damaged teeth, bridges to close tooth gaps and partial dentures and full prostheses to replace several or all of the missing teeth. Each of these solutions is individually adapted to your dental situation and your aesthetic wishes – for maximum comfort, durability and a natural appearance.

When is which dentures suitable?

Every dental situation is unique, and the choice of the right denture depends on various factors, such as the remaining tooth substance, anatomical conditions and aesthetic requirements. A thorough examination and individual advice are the key to an optimal result. Depending on the dental situation and individual needs, different solutions are possible:

• Crowns: For severely damaged or broken teeth that still have a stable root.
• Bridges: For patients with individual tooth gaps where the adjacent teeth can be used as supports.
• Prostheses: In the case of extensive tooth loss, both as partial or full dentures and in combination with implants.

Each of these options has its particular advantages and areas of application. We will be happy to discuss which dentures are the best choice for you in our practice. We accompany you from the first consultation to the ideal solution.

Crowns, bridges and prostheses in Munich – solutions at a glance

Crowns: Protection and stability for damaged teeth

Crowns replace the outer shell of a severely damaged tooth and provide stability and longevity. They are used when, for example, the tooth is so badly damaged by tooth decay or an accident that a filling is no longer sufficient. Crowns protect the tooth from further damage and blend seamlessly into the dentition.

Types of crowns:

• All-ceramic crowns: Metal-free and aesthetic, ideal for the visible area.
• Metal-ceramic crowns: Sturdy and durable, perfect for posterior teeth.
• Partial crowns: Cover only the damaged areas to preserve as much tooth substance as possible.

Treatment: After the precise preparation of the tooth, a custom-made crown is inserted, which fits perfectly into the dentition and supports the natural chewing behavior.

Bridges: Closing gaps and maintaining functionality

Dental bridges are fixed dentures that serve to close one or more gaps between teeth. They are firmly anchored to the adjacent teeth or implants to restore the chewing function and aesthetics. Bridges are a proven solution to maintain the stability of the tooth row and prevent tooth migration.

Types of bridges:

Base bridges, suspension bridges or minimally invasive adhesive bridges such as the Maryland Bridge – there is a suitable solution for every dental situation.

Dentures: Removable dentures for more complex cases

Dentures are used when several or all teeth of a jaw are missing. They can be removable or implant-supported and offer a flexible solution for extensive tooth gaps. Modern prostheses impress with their high wearing comfort and a natural look. Furthermore they offer a flexible and often more cost-effective alternative to fixed dentures.

Partial dentures

Partial dentures are ideal for existing residual dentures, e.g. as model cast dentures or combination dentures.

Partial dentures: Individually adapted for optimal support and comfort – a flexible solution for partial tooth loss.

Full dentures

A full or total denture is required if all the teeth of a jaw are missing and no fixed dental implants can be inserted or are desired.

Implant-supported prostheses

Prostheses can be stabilized in both the upper and lower jaw by implants and special connecting elements. This significantly improves the hold of the prostheses and chewing comfort. A wide variety of solutions are available. From a few implants and bar or attachment connections to stabilize the removable prosthesis to the attachment of a fixed bridge, many things are possible. Each solution must be tailored to the needs of the patient and also depends very much on the anatomical conditions. They are firmly anchored to implants and offer maximum support and comfort, especially for patients with difficulties with conventional dentures.

Fitting and comfort: Each prosthesis is individually manufactured to ensure a comfortable fit, optimal functionality and harmonious aesthetics.

Procedure of the treatment: step by step to your dentures

High-quality dentures require careful planning and precise execution. In our practice, we accompany you through every step of the process – for a result that is functionally and aesthetically convincing.

1. Consulting and planning

The first step is a detailed consultation. Your dental situation will be thoroughly examined in order to find the best solution for your individual needs. Using modern diagnostic techniques, such as X-rays or 3D scans, we can precisely analyze the condition of your teeth and jaw. Together we will discuss the possible options and create a tailor-made treatment plan.

2. Precise preparation

Depending on the type of denture, the teeth and jaw are prepared. For crowns and bridges, the affected tooth is prepared, while for prostheses or implant-supported dentures, impressions or digital scans are often made. These serve as the basis for the production of your dentures.

3. Production of dentures

The dentures are individually manufactured in our specialized dental laboratory . High-quality materials such as ceramics, metal or modern plastics are used. The aim is to ensure a perfect fit, maximum functionality and a natural aesthetic.

4. Adaptation and insertion

As soon as the dentures are completed, they are precisely adjusted and inserted. In doing so, we pay attention to the highest level of comfort and perfect integration into your teeth. In the case of prostheses, any adjustments are made to achieve optimal wearing comfort. Finally, we check the functionality and aesthetics and give you advice on how to care for your new dentures.

5. Aftercare and regular check-ups

After the treatment, we are still available for follow-up appointments. Regular check-ups are important to ensure the longevity of your dentures and to make any adjustments. We support you in maintaining your dental health in the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dentures last?

The durability depends on the type of dentures and care:

• Crowns and bridges can last 10 to 15 years or more with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups.
• Prostheses have a lifespan of about 5 to 10 years, with regular adjustments being able to improve functionality.
• Implant-supported dentures are particularly durable and can last for decades.

Regular visits to the dentist are crucial in extending the life of your dentures.

2. What are the costs of dentures?

The costs vary depending on the type and material of the dentures:

• Crowns: Depends on material (e.g. ceramics, metal) and effort.
• Bridges: The number of teeth replaced and the attachment to adjacent teeth affect the cost.
• Prostheses: Partial dentures are often cheaper than full dentures, implant-supported prostheses are more cost-intensive.

In our Munich practice, you will receive a detailed cost plan after the consultation, which is tailored to your individual situation. Many statutory and private health insurance companies cover part of the costs.

3. What materials are used for dentures?

The choice of material depends on function, aesthetics and your budget:

• Ceramic: Highly aesthetic and biocompatible, ideal for visible areas.
• Metal-ceramic: Durable and stable, especially suitable for posterior teeth.
• Plastic: Commonly used for dentures, offers a cost-effective alternative.

Our practice will advise you in detail to choose the material that best suits your needs.

4. How are dentures cared for?

• Crowns and bridges: With good oral hygiene, including dental floss and interdental brushes, you will avoid plaque buildup.
• Dentures: Daily cleaning with special denture brushes and cleaners is recommended.

Regular check-ups in our dental practice are crucial to ensure the longevity of your dentures.

With fixed dentures such as crowns, bridges or implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy almost all foods without restrictions. Removable dentures, such as full dentures, may take some getting used to harder or sticky foods.
