Prosthetic treatments
Cabinet Dentaire de Rumine produces and fits made-to-measure dental prosthetics in Lausanne
We offer all kinds of dental prosthetics to meet your needs
Dental prosthetics are made by our dental technician in Lausanne. He makes them to measure for you – a process that necessarily involves two steps:
- Taking X-rays
- Fitting the prosthetic at a second appointment
Dental prosthetics help restore the ability to chew and the look of your smile, and they protect existing tooth structures from premature wear. In our practice, before we even start thinking about prosthetic solutions, we always investigate repair-based solutions involving the least invasive and time-consuming care, such as conservative treatments.
-
Common dental prostheses
The most popular dental prosthetics include:
- Dental veneers: these offer an almost invisible cosmetic restoration solution with minimally invasive preparation of the tooth structure.These veneers can be used to hide discolouration, for instance.
- Dental crowns: this is a one-piece restoration aimed at boosting the resilience of a tooth that is already severely damaged or has undergone “patchwork” repairs on several occasions, or a tooth that has a fracture too major to be repaired by classic conservative care methods.
- Dental crowns on implants: when an implant is fitted, a crown is the one-piece suprastructure that replaces the single missing tooth.
- Dental bridges: a convenient and quality alternative to a dental implant. It offers a fixed, definitive and permanent replacement for a missing tooth without the need for surgery and the periods of waiting involved in fitting an implant. A dental bridge includes several crowns, which are linked to each other. This solution can help replace several missing teeth in a single procedure.
-
Splints and aligners
There are also splints and mouthguards, removable or fixed prosthetics that fulfil several functions:
- splints hold teeth in place after orthodontics treatment or an accident.
- Some splints protect the teeth from grinding.
- Mouth guards are used for whitening.
-
Complex restorations on implants
Complex restorations fitted on implants: they consist of all more complex suprastructures exclusively fitted on dental implants. These solutions allow you to replace several teeth or a full dental arch. They involve treatment plans spanning several months, precision down to the last hundredth of a millimetre and work of impeccable quality – both in the mouth and in the dental lab. There’s a wide variety of potential solutions.
-
Removable dental appliances
Last but not least, there are also removable dental appliances – the prosthetics more commonly known as “dentures”. They may be full or partial, contain metallic reinforcements, or be made from a full metal framework for the resin that holds the false teeth. A wide variety of solutions are available here, too.
All of these specific aspects of dental work involve our dental technician in Lausanne. We’ve been working together for more than 15 years and share the same aim of providing a perfect product. The ultimate quality of the end product fitted in your mouth and how long it lasts depend exclusively on the exacting standards and attention to detail of each of our partners.
An initial consultation at the practice is required for any work involving the technician. This helps us draw up a treatment plan and schedule, and estimate the charges involved. Ultimately, treatment solutions are varied and must take into account the patient’s own objective: look, lasting quality, reduced costs or treatment as part of a wider care plan, for instance.
