Why People Love Midwest Dental Specialists

Erica C.
I can’t thank this place enough! We went here for a second opinion. They were so patient and kind with us. Love the education lesson we got too;) My son has been through a lot , and this was the answered pray we were waiting for. It was a very emotional day, but we finally have the answer we were looking and a wonderful plan. Wish this was where we started.

The Art and Science of Your Smile

Prosthodontics is at the forefront of dental technology, blending the art of aesthetics with the science of oral health. Dr. Mariana Soldatelli, our in-house prosthodontist, excels in diagnosing, planning, and executing treatments that replace missing teeth and restore damaged ones, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a flawless smile.

Prosthodontic treatments involve a variety of procedures such as dental implants, bridges, crowns, veneers, and dentures. These solutions not only improve the functionality of your teeth but also enhance your facial aesthetics, boosting your confidence and quality of life.

Our Prosthodontic Services

At Midwest Dental Specialists, we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of prosthodontic services tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients. We do things other dentists can’t, allowing you to get the care you need in one convenient location, from preventive and cosmetic care to dental implants and dentures. Below are some of the transformative services provided by Dr. Mariana Soldatelli and her team:

Dental Implants

Considered the gold standard in tooth replacement, dental implants are synonymous with durability and longevity. These implants are expertly designed to replicate the look, feel, and functionality of natural teeth, offering a permanent solution for those seeking to overcome tooth loss. Our team specializes in implant placement techniques that ensure optimal outcomes, resulting in smiles that are not only beautiful but fully functional.

Crowns and Bridges

Our custom-made crowns and bridges are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both the appearance and functionality of your smile. These restorative options are meticulously designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a solution that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. With proper care, crowns and bridges can offer a long-lasting restoration, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Dentures and Implant-Suported Dentures

Embracing a modern approach to a traditional solution, our dentures are designed with a focus on comfort, functionality, and aesthetics. We take great care to ensure your dentures fit perfectly, enhancing your facial aesthetics and providing you with a natural-looking smile. Modern dentures are a testament to how far dental technology has come, offering a more comfortable and attractive option for tooth replacement.

Inlays & Onlays

For teeth with mild to moderate decay, particularly at the back of the mouth, inlays and onlays offer a robust and aesthetic restoration option. These custom-fit restorations are made from durable materials such as porcelain, gold, or composite resin. Inlays fit precisely within the contours of the tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps. Both options are designed to enhance the strength of the tooth and integrate seamlessly with your natural dental structure.

Mouthguards & Nightguards

We offer custom-fitted mouthguards and nightguards to protect your teeth and jaw from potential damage. For athletes, a properly fitted mouthguard is an essential defense against tooth fractures and other sports-related injuries. Nightguards are specifically designed for those who grind their teeth or suffer from TMJ disorders, providing a barrier that helps to reduce wear on the teeth and alleviate jaw tension.

Oral Appliances

Our tailor-made oral appliances offer a non-invasive solution for treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. By ensuring the airway remains open during sleep, these devices can significantly improve your sleep quality and overall health. They work by either positioning the lower jaw forward or stabilizing the tongue, depending on your specific needs.

Veneers

Veneers represent a pinnacle in cosmetic dentistry, offering an immediate transformation of your smile. These thin, custom-made shells are crafted from high-quality materials like porcelain or composite resin and are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. Perfect for addressing a variety of aesthetic concerns, including discoloration, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth, veneers provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. Our team focuses on creating veneers that complement your overall appearance, ensuring a natural and attractive result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs a prosthodontist?

Individuals who have lost one or more teeth, have significant tooth damage, or experience issues with their bite could benefit from seeing a prosthodontist. This specialty also caters to those looking to improve the aesthetic appearance of their smile through custom-designed dental prosthetics.

What is prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on the design, manufacture, and fitting of artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth. This includes dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, and veneers. Prosthodontists undergo additional training to specialize in these areas, ensuring they can restore oral function and aesthetics effectively.

What's the difference between a prosthodontist and a dentist?

While all prosthodontists are dentists, not all dentists are prosthodontists. A prosthodontist is a dentist who has completed additional years of advanced training in the specific field of prosthodontics. This training equips them with the skills necessary to handle complex dental restorations, cosmetic dentistry, and replacement of missing teeth more comprehensively than a general dentist might.

How do I know if I need prosthodontic treatment?

If you're experiencing tooth loss, dental damage, or dissatisfaction with the appearance of your smile, a consultation with a prosthodontist can help determine the best course of treatment. Prosthodontic treatments can address functional issues such as chewing and speaking difficulties, as well as cosmetic concerns, providing a comprehensive approach to oral health and aesthetics.

What are the benefits of prosthodontic treatment?

Prosthodontic treatments offer several benefits, including improved oral function, enhanced aesthetic appearance, and increased comfort. These treatments can also contribute to better overall oral health by preventing the remaining teeth from shifting and reducing the risk of further dental issues.

How long does prosthodontic treatment take?

The duration of prosthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the type of procedure being performed. Simple treatments like dental crowns may take just a few weeks, while more complex procedures like dental implants can take several months from start to finish.

Is prosthodontic treatment painful?

Modern prosthodontic procedures are designed to be as pain-free as possible. Local anesthesia is typically used to ensure comfort during the procedure. Following treatment, some discomfort may be experienced as the mouth heals, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

How do I care for my prosthodontic restorations?

Proper care and maintenance are crucial to the longevity of prosthodontic restorations. This includes regular brushing and flossing, as well as routine dental check-ups and cleanings. Your prosthodontist will provide specific care instructions based on the type of restoration you receive.

How do I get started with prosthodontic treatment?

The first step is to schedule a consultation with a qualified prosthodontist. During this consultation, your prosthodontist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and concerns, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to meet your needs.
