I was never afraid of the dentist, but I developed severe anxiety at some point. In fact, I didn&#8217;t go for three years. When I started having problems, I had to go, of course. I switched to Kitty, whose approach of asking if I was OK and if I was in pain put me at ease and helped me to overcome my fear. The practice isn&#8217;t close to where I live, but I&#8217;m happy to make the trip. &#8212; <strong>Cora Ouwendijk<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rest assured that at Tandzorg Kralingen, you will be treated by dentists who adhere to the highest quality and professional standards.<\/p>\n<h2>Plate prostheses<\/h2>\n<p>Rest assured that at Tandzorg Kralingen, you will be treated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandzorgkralingen.nl\/ons-tandheelkundig-team\">dentists<\/a> who adhere to the highest quality and professional standards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"grid-ul-2 mb-40\">\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tandzorgkralingen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/vooraanzicht-plaatprothese.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"161\" \/><\/p>\n<div>Front view of the plate prosthesis<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tandzorgkralingen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/zijaanzicht-plaatprothese.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"161\" \/><\/p>\n<div>Side view of a plate prosthesis<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Frame protheses<\/h2>\n<p>A frame prosthesis is a metal frame with gum-coloured resin attached to it. Artificial teeth are then placed on the resin. There are two ways in which frame prostheses can be fitted in your mouth: with metal anchors that clamp onto teeth, or with a clasp.<\/p>\n<div class=\"grid-ul-2 mb-40\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tandzorgkralingen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/frameprothese-bevestigd-op-kronen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"161\" \/><\/p>\n<div>A frame prosthesis fixed to crowns<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"faq-question\">What are the differences between plate and frame prostheses?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">Although a plate prosthesis is cheaper to manufacture than a frame prosthesis, it has a number of disadvantages. A plate prosthesis rests on the gums, which can cause discomfort when pressure is exerted on them during chewing. In contrast, a frame prosthesis largely rests on real teeth, sparing the gums during chewing. Additionally, food debris is more likely to become trapped under a plate denture.<\/p>\n<p>The best prosthesis solution varies from person to person. We recommend consulting a dentist when choosing a prosthesis.<\/p>\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2\"><div class=\"\"><h3>Contact<\/h3>\n<p>Tandzorg Kralingen<br \/>\nVoorschoterlaan 31a<br \/>\n3062 KG Rotterdam<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"tel:0104142248\">010 414 2248<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:info@tandzorgkralingen..nl\">info@tandzorgkralingen.nl<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"\"><h3>Opening hours<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"openingstijden\">Monday:<\/span>08.15 \u2013 17.00<br \/>\n<span class=\"openingstijden\">Tuesday:<\/span>08.15 \u2013 17.00<br \/>\n<span class=\"openingstijden\">Wednesday:<\/span>08.15 \u2013 17.00<br \/>\n<span class=\"openingstijden\">Thursday:<\/span>08.15 \u2013 17.00<br \/>\n<span class=\"openingstijden\">Friday:<\/span>08.15 \u2013 17.00<br \/>\n<span class=\"openingstijden\">Saturday:<\/span>By appointment<br \/>\n<span class=\"openingstijden\">Sunday:<\/span>Closed<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 mb-30\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"video-container youtube-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d9842.328439095532!2d4.503557!3d51.923335!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x26e6273b3075aaa4!2sTandzorg+Kralingen+Rotterdam!5e0!3m2!1snl!2snl!4v1490711615503\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"faq-question\">What does the treatment process entail?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">The process of creating a dental prosthesis requires around five to six visits to the dentist. Production of a frame prosthesis takes several weeks longer than production of a plate prosthesis. The steps are outlined below.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Making space for the denture<\/h3>\n<p>The dentist may need to grind down some of your molars to create enough space for the denture frame. The way in which teeth are ground down depends on the type of denture.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Taking an imprint<\/h3>\n<p>During the second step, an impression of the teeth is taken using an impression tray. Based on this impression, the dental laboratory can create a plaster model, from which an impression tray made of synthetic resin is produced. This tray is then used to create an even more precise plaster model.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Manufacturing the prosthesis<\/h3>\n<p>The plate or frame prosthesis is then manufactured using the synthetic resin plaster model.<\/p>\n<h2>Cleaning the prosthesis<\/h2>\n<p>As food debris can easily become trapped in dentures, it is advisable to clean them daily with a specialised cleaning agent. Toothpaste should not be used. Our specialists can provide you with more information on this.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Tandzorg Kralingen in Rotterdam<\/h2>\n<p>To schedule a personal consultation, please complete the contact form below or call our practice for more information or advice.
