Dental prosthetics is the restoration of lost teeth and tooth tissues using special materials. Teeth can be replaced with micro- or fixed prostheses. It is a misconception that prosthetics involves shaving the teeth and placing a crown. Such drastic methods are outdated and no longer used in modern dentistry.
