Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Your Dental Restorations
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has completed advanced training specifically in the design, fabrication, and fitting of dental restorations, crowns, bridges, dentures, implant-supported prosthetics, and full mouth reconstructions. Dr. Rita Kanbar holds an MSc in Aesthetic and Prosthetic Dentistry, making her one of the few practitioners in the Metn district with this level of specialization.
This matters because the quality of your crown, bridge, or denture depends not just on the material, but on the precision of the design, the accuracy of the fit, and the attention to how it interacts with your bite and your other teeth. A poorly fitted crown can cause pain, sensitivity, and premature failure. A well-designed one should feel natural and last 15 to 20 years.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
For patients with multiple missing, damaged, or worn teeth, full mouth reconstruction combines several prosthetic and restorative procedures into a comprehensive treatment plan. This may include dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and sometimes orthodontic alignment, all coordinated by Dr. Rita to restore complete function and aesthetics.
Full mouth reconstruction is available at C.Metric Dbayeh.
Prosthetic Dentistry FAQ
What is the difference between a prosthodontist and a regular dentist?
A regular dentist handles general dental care. A prosthodontist has completed additional years of specialized training in designing and fitting prosthetic restorations, crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant-supported prosthetics. For complex cases involving multiple missing teeth or a full smile rebuild, a prosthodontist delivers more precise, longer-lasting results.
How long do dental crowns last?
High-quality porcelain or zirconia crowns typically last 15 to 20 years or longer with proper oral hygiene and regular checkups. Avoiding habits like nail-biting, chewing ice, or grinding (consider a night guard if you grind) extends their lifespan significantly.
Can I replace my removable dentures with a fixed solution?
Yes. All-on-4 implant-supported bridges replace removable dentures with a permanent, fixed set of teeth. This eliminates the discomfort, slipping, and dietary restrictions of traditional dentures.
How much do dental crowns cost in Lebanon?
Dental crown costs in Lebanon are significantly lower than in Europe or the US while maintaining international quality standards. Pricing depends on the material (zirconia, Emax, PFM). Contact Lebanon Dental Studio for a personalized quote.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and traditional dentures?
All-on-4 implants are permanently fixed to four dental implants, providing stable, natural-feeling teeth that don’t shift or require removal. Traditional dentures are removable and may slip during eating or speaking.
How a Full Prosthetic Case Is Planned
Rebuilding several teeth at once is engineering as much as dentistry. Dr. Rita starts with records: photographs, impressions or a digital scan, and a bite analysis. Complex cases get a wax-up, a physical preview of the final teeth you can hold in your hand and try in your mouth. Only when the plan works at the try-in stage are the final crowns, bridges or dentures made. When implant surgery is needed for support, a specialist oral surgeon places the implants and Dr. Rita designs and fits everything visible above the gum.
Choosing the Right Material
There is no single best material, only a best material for each job. Zirconia carries the strength for back teeth and long bridges. E.max porcelain has the translucency that makes front teeth look alive. Hybrid prostheses on implants combine a titanium frame with ceramic teeth for full-arch cases. Acrylic still earns its place in removable dentures for comfort and easy adjustment. At the consultation you will hear the honest trade-offs for your case rather than a one-size answer.
Living With Your New Teeth
New dentures and full-arch work take an adjustment period; a week or two of practice with speech and softer foods is normal, and small pressure points are corrected with a quick visit rather than endured. Fixed crowns and bridges feel natural sooner, but they still need what natural teeth need: daily cleaning at the gum line, floss or interdental brushes underneath bridge spans, and a check twice a year so small issues stay small.
