Dental prosthetics represent the sole solution for reinstating both the functionality and appearance of teeth for patients experiencing partial or complete tooth loss.
Various types of dental prosthetics are available, and the selection of the most appropriate option will be determined following a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition.

Varieties of dentures offered at Trident
Dentures come in two main types: full and partial. A full denture is necessary when the entire dentition is compromised or the patient retains only a few remaining teeth, typically 2-3. Conversely, a partial denture is suitable when there are still 4-5 viable teeth present, allowing for the attachment of a prosthesis onto them.
Furthermore, dental prosthetics can be categorized as fixed, removable, or semi-removable.
Trident Bucharest provides comprehensive solutions for all dental prosthetic needs.
Fixed Dentures
This classification encompasses dental crowns, dental bridges, and dental prostheses attached to implants. Crowns and bridges supported by natural teeth are affixed through cementation, whereas those attached to implants can be secured via cementation or screws.
Dental Crown
A dental crown is a small prosthesis utilized by dentists to restore a compromised or missing tooth. It can be affixed to a previously prepared tooth following devitalization and reshaping or attached to an implant.
Trident Bucharest specialists in dental restoration utilize highly durable and aesthetically pleasing materials such as ceramic and zirconium for crafting dental crowns.
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a prosthesis employed in cases of partial tooth loss, consisting of at least three components: the missing tooth and the support points. At Trident, bridges are fabricated from resilient and natural-looking materials such as ceramic and/or zirconium.
The dental bridge may be affixed to natural teeth following their reshaping (and potentially devitalization), or to implants.
Implant-Supported Denture
Implant-supported dentures represent the pinnacle of denture technology, offering superior stability, enhanced chewing and speech capabilities, natural aesthetics, low maintenance requirements, and exceptional longevity.
Opting for an immediate loading All-on-4 or All-on-6 implant enables an exceedingly swift dental restoration solution. Essentially, patients can acquire a new, fully functional set of teeth within a mere 24 hours. Initially, an immediate provisional prosthesis is fitted onto the implants, followed by a 2-4 month period for gum healing and implant osseointegration, culminating in the placement of the definitive prosthesis onto the implants.
At Trident, the definitive implant-supported denture is crafted from ceramic or zirconium, renowned for their outstanding functional and aesthetic qualities.
Removable Denture
This type of dental prosthesis is not cemented in place but rather anchored to existing teeth. Removable dentures can be easily removed and cleaned for maintenance purposes.
Telescopic Removable Denture
Suggested for cases of substantial tooth loss with the presence of 2-3 well-positioned teeth in the arch, the restoration process with a telescopic removable dental prosthesis involves two stages:
- Preparation of the remaining teeth, which serve as support points (or primary telescopes), by fitting them with metal crowns made of chrome-cobalt alloy and secured with cement.
- Attaching the actual prosthesis onto the support points, within which secondary telescopes are positioned, typically made of resin.
Telescopic Bridge
The telescopic bridge, crafted from ceramic, offers superior aesthetics compared to the telescopic prosthesis. It is recommended for partial tooth loss cases where other dental prosthetic techniques are deemed unsuitable following patient evaluation.
Skeletonized Removable Denture
A framework denture is a partial denture anchored onto natural teeth rather than implants, requiring daily removal and cleaning. This solution is chosen for patients experiencing significant, though not complete, tooth loss and who are not candidates for implants due to contraindications.
At Trident Bucharest, the skeletal denture is fabricated from premium materials—the framework comprises a metallic structure (chrome-cobalt alloy), while the aesthetic component is crafted from ceramic or zirconium, ensuring a natural appearance.
Removable Dentures
Typically, the dental specialists at Trident Clinics in Bucharest utilize this type of dental prosthesis as an interim solution until a more functionally and aesthetically superior option can be implemented. Made from resin, removable dentures come in several variations tailored to address specific dental concerns.
Full Removable Denture
This traditional dental prosthesis is employed in cases of complete tooth loss, restoring one or both arches. It relies on suction for fixation, creating a vacuum between the prosthesis and the gum. Additional stability is achieved through specialized adhesives. The denture is removed daily for cleaning.
Partial Removable Denture
Designed for partial tooth loss scenarios, where more than two teeth are missing, the partial removable denture is a scaled-down version of its full counterpart. It rests on the gum and is secured to remaining teeth using hooks. Daily removal is necessary for hygiene purposes.
Immediate Removable Prosthesis (Kemeny Denture)
This provisional prosthetic work, comprising 1-2 teeth, is swiftly applied by specialists immediately following dental extraction or implantation, enabling patients to resume their social activities promptly. The Kemeny denture sits on the gingival mucosa and is anchored to adjacent teeth with aesthetically pleasing hooks matching the teeth’s color. Once gum healing (post-extraction) or implant osseointegration is complete, the Kemeny denture is replaced with a definitive dental solution—such as a dental bridge or implant-supported prosthesis.
