Dentures

Rehabilitation of missing or compromised teeth

A Dental Prosthodontist is concerned with the rehabilitation of the mouth by replacing missing or severely damaged teeth. A tooth may become structurally compromised as a result of a large carious lesion, trauma, or periodontal problem; however, this condition is highly unstable and results in general decompensation of the oral cavity with degeneration of occlusion. Early intervention plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation of masticatory function.

Operating Procedures

Depending on the clinical situation, there are several procedures that the clinician can implement to rehabilitate the patient's mouth.

Prosthetic crown

It is a laboratory-reproduced tooth with highly aesthetic
and durable materials. It can be cemented onto a natural tooth or screwed onto a dental implant (if an abutment tooth is not present and implant-prosthetic rehabilitation is needed).

Continued Close

Dental Bridge

The dental bridge uses the remaining teeth as supporting pillars for the prosthetic crown of the missing tooth.

Dental inlay

It is a laboratory-produced artifact that faithfully reproduces the missing part of the tooth, which will be definitively cemented in place so that both optimal esthetic and functional performance can be achieved.

Continued Close

Total removable denture

Commonly known as ''dentures,'' these are resin restorations that bridge the total absence of upper and lower teeth. Since there are no supporting teeth, this type of prosthesis takes advantage of the support on the mucous membranes to provide stability during chewing.

Continued Close

Partial removable denture

Also known as Skeletonized Prostheses, they take advantage of the same principle as the above-mentioned Total Mobile Prosthesis but in addition can anchor on residual teeth by means of a metal ''skeleton'' that joins artificial teeth with natural ones.

I had an apicoectomy performed here and I cannot speak highly enough about the entire experience, especially the work done by Dr. Tornabene. The professionalism, precision, and care from the doctor and staff were outstanding from the first visit through follow-up. The staff were incredibly attentive and supportive throughout the entire process. I am originally from New York and spend part of the year living abroad, so finding medical and dental care you truly trust is extremely important to me. I felt completely safe and confident here from day one. I found this clinic after doing extensive research, including using AI tools to compare options, and I am very grateful I did. The level of skill and organization here is exceptional. This was not a simple case, and the team handled it with incredible skill and attention to detail. The surgical result and healing process exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend this clinic and Dr. Tornabene to anyone needing advanced endodontic or surgical dental care. Thank you again for the exceptional work and care.

Today, I had a visit to Dentifree office because of a broken tooth. Something like this happening when you are a few thousand miles away from home and away from your dentist is not fun. So, I was happy to find a friendly place. Dr. Tornabene, Chiara, and Dentifree staff were great in taking care of my tooth. They acted professionally and efficiently, and were respectful. I surely recommend them for dental work.

We arrived in Palermo and my daughter needed work on her braces. We found the staff here to be kind and helpful and the doctor to be very adept. We don't speak Italian and yet we were able to communicate because they were willing to work with us. I highly recommend them!
