Prosthodontics, Restorative, and Cosmetic Dentistry at Dr. Ban R. Barbat

Prosthodontics may involve the reconstruction of a patient’s front teeth and therefore will have a significant impact on the patient’s appearance, which is why it incorporates aspects of aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Barbat’s philosophy is to help a patient look better but always within the context of rebuilding and preserving their oral health.

Restorative and Prosthodontic Services Offered at Dr. Ban R. Barbat in Shelby Township, MI

Dr. Ban R. Barbat can correct a wide range of tooth replacement and aesthetic issues. Some of our restorative treatments can include the following products or treatments:

• Dental Implants: These new teeth look, feel, and perform just like a regular tooth. An implant is one of the healthiest ways to replace a missing tooth.
• Flippers and Removable Partial Dentures: A flipper tooth is a removable, temporary tooth replacement for patients who have lost a tooth due to disease or injury while they wait for their permanent implant.
• Full and Partial Dentures: Conventional full dentures are when any remaining teeth are removed and the tissue is given time to heal. There are also partial dentures for patients with healthy teeth remaining.
• Hybrid Prosthesis: Fixed-detachable prostheses are dentures that attach to four or more implants in the jaw. They do not rub against the gums like removable dentures can, and they work much more like natural teeth, opening up a wider range of food possibilities to the patient.
• Implant-Retained Dentures: Unlike traditional dentures, which rely on suction and soft tissue support to stay in place and are removable, implant-retained dentures combine the advantages of dentures with those of dental implants.
• Implant-Retained Partials: Where conventional dental implants are one per tooth, implant-retained partials may only require as few as two implants to provide the needed stability.
