Prosthetic Bite Correction in Litomyšl

Stability and dental health with Nova Smile Dental Clinic

What is Prosthetic Bite Correction

Prosthetic bite correction at Nova Smile Dental Clinic in Litomyšl is a specialized solution for treating bite problems, tooth wear, or tooth mobility. This method helps stabilize teeth, evenly distribute chewing pressure, and prevent tooth loss caused by bruxism (teeth grinding) or periodontitis. At Nova Smile, we offer splints, overlays, and tooth splinting, individually selected after careful diagnostics. Our prosthodontists use advanced technologies and materials to restore your comfort and dental health. Need bite correction in the Pardubice region (Svitavy or Litomysl)?

Types of prosthetic bite correction

At Nova Smile, we use different bite correction methods depending on the clinical situation:

  • Splints (Prosthetic Mouthguards)
    Removable appliances worn on teeth to protect against tooth wear due to bruxism or to stabilize the bite. Custom-made, they can be soft (for nighttime wear) or rigid (for prolonged use), reducing jaw tension and enamel damage.

  • Overlays

    Permanent restorations placed on the chewing surfaces of teeth to restore tooth height lost due to wear or bite deformation. Suitable for patients experiencing tooth wear due to mechanical stress or aging.

  • Tooth Splinting

    Fixation of mobile teeth (e.g., in periodontitis) using removable or fixed appliances. Fixed splinting involves a fiber ribbon or wire connecting teeth internally. Removable splinting is performed using cast partial dentures with a metal arch that stabilizes each tooth individually.

Materials for prosthetic bite correction

  • Fiberglass: Lightweight and strong (up to 800 MPa), invisible, ideal for fixed splinting on front teeth, lifespan 5–10 years.

  • E-max Ceramic: Transparent, strong (up to 500 MPa) ceramics for overlays, restoring aesthetics and tooth height, lifespan 10–15 years.

  • Zirconia (Zirconium Dioxide): High strength (up to 1000 MPa) for overlays and crowns used in splinting, durable (15–20 years), withstands heavy loads.

  • PEEK (Polyetheretherketone): Biocompatible plastic for removable splints, lightweight, hypoallergenic, lifespan 5–10 years depending on care.

  • Acrylic: Budget-friendly for removable splints and cast partial dentures, lightweight, less durable (3–7 years), temporary use.

  • Composite Hybrids (Cerasmart, Enamic): Elastic mix of composite and ceramic for overlays and splinting, wear-resistant, lifespan 7–12 years.

  • Metals (Chrome-cobalt, Titanium): Durable (up to 20 years) for partial denture frameworks or splint bases, usually covered with acrylic for aesthetics.

Preparation for prosthetic bite correction

  • Diagnostics: X-ray, orthopantomogram, or CT with 3D modeling for accurate planning.

  • Oral Sanitation: Treatment of caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, gum diseases.

  • Professional Cleaning: Ultrasonic or Air Flow plaque removal.

  • Tooth Preparation: Enamel preparation for fixed prosthetics, possible root canal treatment.

  • Surgical Preparation: Removal of unsuitable roots, exostoses, frenulum correction.

  • Implant Placement (if needed): Implant placement and healing (3–6 months).

  • Allergy Tests: Checking sensitivity to materials and anesthetics.

Following preparation, structures are fabricated using CAD/CAM technology, ensuring precision and speed (1–3 visits). Dental clinic Nova Smile in Litomyšl offers Prosthetic bite correction to protect your teeth—contact us for professional help!
