Prosthodontics is a dental procedure to restore missing or damaged teeth to improve aesthetic appearance, restore chewing function and preserve the health of the remaining teeth. The different types of restorations allow for the most suitable solution for everyone.
A tooth replacement may be needed if one or more teeth are missing, which impairs aesthetic appearance, speech or chewing efficiency. An additional reason may be to replace damaged teeth when fillings or crowns no longer provide an adequate solution.
If you have missing or damaged teeth and this is affecting your aesthetic appearance, speech or ability to chew, you should see a dentist for tooth replacement options.
On your first visit, the dentist will carry out an assessment, including taking x-rays, and will discuss the available restorative options with you, taking your needs into account.
After the initial consultation and the necessary diagnostic tests (X-rays, digital oral scans), the dentist will develop an individual treatment plan. This plan will detail the type of tooth replacement proposed, the sequence of procedures and the expected duration of treatment.
If a fixed restoration (crown, bridge) is needed, the dentist will prepare the tooth(s) and take an impression, which the dental technician will use to prepare the restoration. The finished restoration is then fixed by the dentist.
If a removable restoration (partial or full denture) is the recommended solution, an impression is also taken to ensure an accurate fit, and the prosthesis is prepared in the dental laboratory, and the dentist places it in the mouth for a trial fit and fine-tunes it if necessary.
In the case of implants, the process involves the insertion of the implant, followed by a healing period before the final replacement (crown, bridge or denture) is fixed.
During the treatment process, there may be additional checks and fine-tuning to ensure that the prosthesis fits perfectly, is comfortable and functionally restores the patient’s chewing, speech and aesthetic needs. The dentist will also provide detailed instructions on the proper use and cleaning of the prosthesis to maintain its function and aesthetics over the long term.
The cost of a tooth replacement always depends on the type of replacement chosen and the procedure to be performed. A tooth replacement is available for between ~150,000 HUF – 300,000 HUF, which is always discussed with the dentist in advance.

The duration may vary depending on individual cases and the type of prosthesis chosen. Fixed crowns and bridges usually take 2-3 weeks from design to final fixation, while implants can take several months due to the intervention and the overall healing process.
Yes, in some cases, especially if you choose fixed crowns or bridges, a temporary restoration may be placed while the permanent restoration is being fabricated to protect the machined teeth and maintain the appearance and function of the teeth.
Thanks to modern anaesthesia methods, the placement of a tooth replacement is usually painless. There may be some slight discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, but this usually goes away quickly.
Initially, dentures can affect speech, especially the pronunciation of the ‘s’, ‘f’ and ‘th’ sounds, but this is usually temporary. Speech quickly normalises as the patient gets used to the restoration.
As with all procedures, tooth replacement can have complications such as problems with the fit of the restoration, temporary or permanent sensitivity. However, these are rare and usually easily managed by the dentist.
The life of dentures varies, but they may need to be replaced over time. This depends on the material, the patient’s oral hygiene and chewing habits. The dentist will recommend replacement if the restoration is worn, damaged or if the tooth underneath is decaying again.
A denture can restore the ability to chew, making it easier and more comfortable to eat. Initially, it may be necessary to fine-tune your diet until you get used to the replacement, but in the long term, the quality of your meals may improve.
Care of dentures is similar to that of natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups are recommended.
Prosthodontics can help restore chewing and speaking ability, preserve adjacent teeth, improve facial aesthetics and give confidence.
Modern dentures, especially those made of porcelain and composite, can have a very natural look. These materials are designed to mimic the colour, shape and reflective properties of natural teeth, making the restorations almost unnoticeable among other teeth.
