Prosthodontics in Kharkiv

01

The consultation includes evaluation of the bite, current restorations, supporting teeth and the broader treatment plan.

02

A prosthodontic option is selected, such as crowns, veneers, bridges or removable prosthetics, depending on the case.

03

Teeth or supporting structures are prepared and impressions or digital records are taken for the technical stage.

04

The final restoration is tried in, adjusted and fixed, followed by home-care instructions.

Filling or direct restoration

Suitable when the damage is limited and enough healthy tooth structure remains for predictable restoration without full coverage.

Crown or onlay

Considered when the tooth is weakened, significantly damaged or needs better distribution of chewing load.

Bridge or removable option

Discussed when one or several teeth are missing, with attention to supporting teeth, bite, hygiene and expected load.

Extraction and later restoration

If the tooth cannot be preserved predictably, the surgical stage and future restoration of the gap are planned together.

Consultation and diagnostics

The dentist evaluates teeth, gums, bite, old restorations and imaging when needed, then explains realistic options.

Preparation before prosthodontics

Before a restoration, treatment of caries, root canals, gums, extraction when indicated or orthodontic preparation may be needed.

Technical stage

After preparation, impressions or digital records are taken and the restoration is made with attention to shape, bite and function.

Try-in, fixation and care

The final restoration is checked in the mouth, adjusted if needed, fixed or adapted, and care instructions are explained.

Too little healthy tooth structure

If a filling would be too large or the tooth is already weakened, a prosthodontic restoration may distribute load more predictably.

Unstable tooth or gum condition

Active caries, gum inflammation, root canal problems or uncertain root prognosis should be addressed before prosthodontics.

Bite has not been considered

If chewing load is not balanced, the restoration may require additional planning or orthodontic assessment.

Hygiene or care is difficult

Long-term control depends on the patient being able to clean around the restoration and attend preventive visits.

Start with consultation

A consultation helps clarify whether a filling, onlay, crown, bridge, removable option or preliminary treatment is needed.

Treat the tooth first

If there is caries, root canal disease or leaking old fillings, therapeutic treatment may be needed before the restoration.

Assess the tooth before extraction

If the tooth has a poor prognosis, the surgical stage is planned together with later restoration of the gap.

Consider tooth position

When bite or tooth position affects future crowns or veneers, orthodontic assessment may be useful.

Preparation and anesthesia

Anesthesia may be used during tooth preparation. The dentist explains what is planned and what sensations may be expected after the visit.

Temporary restorations

In some cases temporary restorations are used during the technical stage to protect teeth and support appearance.

Adaptation period

After fixation, it can take time to adapt to the shape, height or contact of the restoration during chewing.

Home care

Daily hygiene, gum monitoring, professional reviews and the dentist's recommendations help keep the restoration functional.

Restoration type and material

A crown, veneer, onlay, bridge or removable denture involves different materials, workload and technical stages.

Number of teeth and gap position

The plan changes depending on whether one tooth, several teeth or a larger part of the dental arch needs restoration.

Preliminary treatment

Therapeutic care, gum treatment, surgical treatment or orthodontic preparation is planned separately if needed.

Try-ins and lab stage

The plan may include fabrication accuracy, several try-ins, bite adjustments and temporary restorations.
