Dental Prosthetics in Barrio de Salamanca, Madrid

It depends on how much of the tooth has been lost. If a tooth is damaged but keeps part of its structure, it is restored with an inlay (when the damage is moderate and a very conservative approach is wanted) or with a ceramic or zirconia crown or cap (when the damage is extensive). If teeth are missing, they are replaced with a fixed prosthesis, such as a bridge attached to the neighbouring teeth that the patient cannot remove, or with a removable prosthesis, partial or full (dentures), which is taken out for cleaning. Prostheses can also be placed on implants. At your first visit we assess your case and explain which option suits you best.

It depends on the type of prosthesis, the material and each case. As a guide, at Clínica ENIQ an inlay costs between €150 and €350; a porcelain crown or cap from €350, and a zirconia one from €400; a three-unit fixed dental bridge between €900 and €1,400 (four units, between €1,100 and €1,600); and a partial removable denture between €500 and €600, or a full one between approximately €600 and €1,000. These are approximate prices: we give you an exact, no-obligation quote after a first assessment. We offer financing without paperwork from €150 to €3,000, so you can spread the cost at your own pace without complicated procedures.

It depends on the type of prosthesis. Crowns, inlays and other fixed restorations follow a fully digital workflow: we take a digital impression of your mouth with an intraoral scanner, with no impression paste or moulds; Dr. Alejandra de la Rosa designs the restoration with CAD-CAM software and it is milled in our own digital laboratory from high-density ceramic or zirconia blocks, which allows adjustments in the same appointment and reduces the number of visits. Removable prostheses are made from impressions and bite records, with an acrylic base that mimics the gums and artificial teeth made of resin or porcelain.

The duration of a dental prosthesis depends on several factors, including the type of prosthesis, the materials used, the care and maintenance it receives, and the patient's habits. In general, fixed prostheses such as crowns and bridges can last between 10 and 15 years or more with proper care. Removable prostheses usually have a useful life of 5 to 10 years, although they may need periodic adjustments or relines. Dental implants, which serve as a base for fixed prostheses, can last a lifetime if properly maintained. It is important to make regular visits to the dentist for checkups and maintenance, which can significantly extend the useful life of any dental prosthesis.

Yes, dental prostheses can significantly improve aesthetic appearance. They are designed to mimic the natural appearance of teeth and gums, restoring the smile and facial structure. Modern prostheses use advanced materials such as ceramic and zirconium that replicate the color, translucency, and texture of natural teeth. In addition to replacing missing teeth, prostheses can correct aesthetic problems such as discolored, worn, or misaligned teeth. They also help maintain facial shape by providing support to facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss. The result is a more attractive and natural smile that can significantly increase the patient's self-esteem and confidence.

Dental prostheses can be both permanent and temporary, depending on the type and purpose. Permanent or fixed prostheses include crowns, bridges, and dental implants that are cemented or screwed into place and cannot be removed by the patient. These are designed to be long-term solutions. On the other hand, removable prostheses, such as partial or complete dentures, can be removed by the patient for cleaning and maintenance. Temporary prostheses are usually used during transition periods, such as while waiting for healing after an extraction or the fabrication of a permanent prosthesis. The choice between permanent or removable prostheses depends on several factors, including the patient's oral health, the number of teeth to be replaced, aesthetic considerations, and budget.

Our clinic is located at C. de Hermosilla, 78 in the Barrio de Salamanca, Madrid, just a short walk from Goya metro station (lines L2 and L4) and served by bus lines 21, 53, 1, and 74. You can request your first appointment via the website form, by phone, or at the reception desk. At that initial visit we assess your case and explain your treatment options with no commitment required.

The time varies depending on the type of prosthesis. A crown or bridge on natural teeth is usually completed in two or three appointments over two to three weeks, whereas prostheses on implants require waiting for osseointegration of the implant, a process that can take several months. In each case we plan the treatment in advance and inform you of the estimated schedule from the very first visit.

Tooth preparation for a crown and impression-taking are carried out under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. After fitting it is normal to experience some sensitivity or mild discomfort for a few days, particularly when biting or with hot or cold foods. If the discomfort persists or is intense, we recommend contacting the clinic so our team can assess it and make any necessary adjustments.

Maintenance depends on the type of prosthesis: fixed ones (crowns, bridges) are cleaned with a toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, and special dental floss for hard-to-reach areas. Removable prostheses should be taken out for cleaning with water and a specific prosthesis brush, avoiding strong abrasives. In both cases, regular clinic check-ups allow wear or misfit to be detected early, helping to extend the prosthesis's lifespan and maintain the health of the rest of your mouth.
