2 minutes to quickly understand what Prosthodontist does

Missing teeth can bother many people with age or other factors. Missing teeth not only affect chewing function and difficulty eating, but also reduce self-confidence and affect the appearance of a smile. Home Dental understands your concerns and provides a comprehensive range of restorative dental services with professionalism to help you regain intact teeth, restore oral function, and smile confidently. Our experienced prosthodontists specialize in treating complex dental and facial matters, including the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth with artificial devices.

Complex Cases: Full Mouth Rehabilitation (Occlusal Reconstruction)

When wear, fractures or missing teeth are affecting several teeth at once, the problem is no longer a single tooth but the bite as a whole. These are among the most complex cases in restorative dentistry — teeth becoming shorter, restorations fracturing repeatedly, and insufficient space to restore them are rarely solved by filling or crowning one tooth at a time.

The process is different as well. Clinical records and an occlusal analysis come first, to confirm whether the cause of the wear is under control, whether the vertical dimension has genuinely changed, and where the restorative space will come from. A diagnostic wax-up and provisional restorations then verify the design before the definitive work is completed in stages. Where the cause is not yet controlled, or the wear is mild and stable, monitoring may be the appropriate course instead.

Restorative Dentistry services in Home Dental

  1. Tailor-made restorative solutions – Home Dental's prosthodontists carefully assess each patient's oral condition, missing teeth and individual needs to develop a customized restorative plan. For example, we have extensive experience in customizing comfortable and stable dentures for the elderly who are suffering from missing teeth. These custom-made dentures not only restore good chewing ability, but also provide an excellent fit over traditional dentures. Tight-fitting dentures can provide better facial support and improve facial collapse caused by missing teeth to a certain extent. 
  2. Experienced team of dentists and advanced technology – Our team of dentists have years of clinical experience and are proficient in a variety of restorative dental techniques. The clinic uses advanced diagnosis and treatment equipment and high-quality restorative materials to ensure that the treatment process is efficient and comfortable, and the repair effect is long-lasting and beautiful. 
  3. Focus on communication and post-treatment follow-up – Home Dental staff value communication with patients, listen to your needs during treatment, and answer your questions at any time. At the same time, we also pay great attention to post-treatment follow-up and regular follow-up visits to ensure satisfaction with the treatment results.

Restorative dental services

  1. Dental Fillings: Applied to repair cavities caused by tooth decay (tooth decay) and restore tooth structure and function. 
  2. Dental Crowns: Suitable for the restoration of large tooth defects, providing protection and aesthetics. 
  3. Dental Bridges: Suitable for the restoration of single or small missing teeth, using adjacent healthy teeth as pillars to fix artificial teeth and restore the chewing function and shape of missing teeth. 
  4. Dentures: Suitable for situations where there are multiple missing teeth or a complete missing mouth. Home Dental is especially good at customizing comfortable and stable dentures for the elderly, so that they can get rid of the loosening and wear caused by traditional dentures, restore good chewing ability, and enjoy delicious wontons. 
  5. Dental Implants: Suitable for single or multiple missing teeth, an artificial root is implanted into the alveolar bone and then a crown is installed for restoration. Dental implants have a chewing function and aesthetic effect comparable to that of real teeth, and have a long service life.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much do dental crowns and bridges typically cost?

    Simple fillings are the most economical, crowns and bridges range from several thousand to over ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, and implants start from HK$22,000; fee structures differ between dentists and clinics. The restoration has to match the remaining tooth structure, the bite and the pattern of missing teeth — a mismatched restoration has a shorter life, and redoing it costs more tooth structure and often more in total. Complex cases such as multiple teeth or occlusal reconstruction are planned by dentists with the corresponding qualifications at Home Dental.

  • What's the difference between dentures and dental implants?

    Dentures are removable prosthetics that rest on your gums, suitable for multiple missing teeth. Dental implants are permanent artificial roots surgically placed into your jawbone with crowns attached, offering chewing function comparable to natural teeth. Our prosthodontists can assess which option suits your situation best during a consultation.

  • How long does it take to get a dental crown fitted?

    The process typically requires two visits. During the first appointment, we prepare the tooth and take impressions. You'll wear a temporary crown whilst the permanent one is being custom-made in the laboratory. The second visit, usually 1–2 weeks later, involves fitting and cementing the permanent crown.

  • Are there any risks or side effects with dental implants?

    Whilst dental implants have a high success rate, potential risks include infection, nerve damage, or implant failure if bone integration doesn't occur properly. These risks are minimised through careful assessment and proper surgical technique. We recommend an in-clinic consultation to evaluate whether you're a suitable candidate.

  • Can elderly patients with loose dentures get better-fitting ones?

    Absolutely. We specialise in customising comfortable and stable dentures for elderly patients. Our custom-made dentures provide better facial support and fit more securely than traditional dentures, eliminating loosening and discomfort whilst restoring good chewing ability. A consultation will help us design the best solution for you.

  • Do you accept dental insurance for restorative treatments?

    We accept most major dental insurance plans. Coverage varies depending on your specific policy and the type of restorative treatment needed. Please WhatsApp us with your insurance details, and our team will help you confirm what's covered before you proceed with treatment.
