Pediatric dentures
It happens that children lose teeth, for example, due to an accident or tooth decay. The missing tooth or teeth should be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise problems may arise, such as a disturbance in pronunciation.
In our dental practice Kamilla we make children's dentures, which are almost indistinguishable from the milk teeth of your child.

Why the use of a pediatric denture is so important
If your child loses a tooth or several teeth, it is important to ensure that your child does not have problems eating and speaking.
In our Kamilla dental practice in Mainz, we make individually fitted children's dental prostheses. These are very delicate and usually made of plastic. This can restore the chewing and biting function. Your child can eat, speak and laugh again without any problems.
The procedure of inserting a pediatric denture
We take a close look at your child's teeth to get an idea of their dental health. We first treat diseases, such as caries, to prevent further tooth loss. An impression of the child's dentition is required for the fabrication of the pediatric denture. After that, the children's denture is made individually by dental technicians in the dental laboratory.
What are the types of pediatric dentures?
Depending on how many teeth are missing, a full or partial denture can be considered. If only a few teeth are missing, a partial denture can be attached to the existing milk teeth.
Does the statutory health insurance pay for the use of pediatric dentures?
You must apply to your health insurance company for coverage of the costs. Patients receive a fixed allowance if the treatment has been approved. Only in cases of hardship will the children's dental prosthesis be reimbursed in full. If the dental accident occurs on the way to or at school, the accident insurance is responsible.
What material are pediatric dentures made of?
In most cases, the prostheses are made of a resistant plastic.
