Dental Prosthetics in Klaipėda
We restore chewing function and a natural smile for patients who have lost one or several teeth. Crowns, bridges, cast clasp dentures, partial and full dentures, each made to measure for your bite, budget and lifestyle.
What is dental prosthetics and what types are there?
Dental prosthetics is the restoration of lost or badly damaged teeth using fixed or removable restorations. It is not only a question of looks: when a gap appears in the mouth, the neighbouring teeth start to drift, the opposing teeth drop down, and the bite slowly collapses. Over time this can lead to jaw joint, neck and even posture problems.
At Miško Clinic we always begin prosthetic work with full diagnostics: an X-ray, a digital scan of the teeth, a bite analysis and a treatment plan. Only then, together with the patient, do we choose the solution: a crown on your own tooth or on an implant, a bridge between two supports, a partial denture or a cast clasp denture when a few teeth are missing in a group, or a full denture when no teeth remain.
We work with trusted laboratories and use zirconia, all-ceramic (E.max) and metal-ceramic crowns. You can find all prosthetics prices in the price list.
When no teeth remain, a denture can be secured on implants: 2 implants with locators hold a removable denture firmly (the denture costs 900 €), and 4 to 6 implants can hold a fixed prosthesis (the prosthesis costs 3,500–6,000 €). Read more on our full-arch dental implants page. If you are looking into state-funded dental prosthetics, we explain who qualifies, the 2026 amounts and how to apply in our guide to state-funded dental prosthetics in 2026. Miško Clinic (UAB Moliaris) is on VLK’s published list of dental prosthetics providers (in Lithuanian), so once a dentist has confirmed your entitlement, you can have state-funded prosthetic treatment with us.
Cast clasp denture
A cast clasp denture is a removable partial denture for when several teeth are missing but some of your own teeth remain. Its artificial teeth are joined by a connecting bar, and the denture is held on your remaining teeth with clasps and rests on them, so the chewing load is not carried by the gum alone. It costs 1,000 €. Whether it suits you depends on how many teeth are missing and on the condition and position of the remaining ones, so we decide after an examination and diagnostics.
Flexible Breflex denture
Our price list also includes a full Breflex denture at 600 €. It is made from flexible Breflex material and is an alternative to a denture with a rigid base (400 €). We discuss which denture suits you during a consultation, taking into account the condition of your jaw and your wishes.
When might you need dental prosthetics?
- A damaged tooth: when a tooth is badly broken down or after root canal treatment, a crown protects it from fracture.
- One missing tooth: a bridge or an implant with a crown fills the gap and stops the neighbouring teeth from drifting.
- Several missing teeth in a group: a partial denture or a metal-framework denture restores chewing function.
- No teeth left at all: a full denture or a denture on implants returns the ability to eat and speak normally.
- Worn-down bite height: height lost to bruxism or erosion is rebuilt with fillings or crowns.
- Aesthetic flaws: irregular shape, colour or gaps between the front teeth are solved with veneers or crowns.
- Jaw joint discomfort: an uneven bite and worn teeth can cause pressure and pain, corrected with prosthetic work.

Aftercare following dental prosthetics
After prosthetic work it is important to give the gums and jaw a little time to adapt. For the first days after a crown is fixed or a denture fitted, there may be some sensitivity, a feeling of pressure or a slightly altered bite.
This is normal and settles within a few days. If you feel stronger pressure at one point, get in touch: a minimal adjustment is probably all that is needed.
- For the first 24 hours after cementing, avoid very hard and sticky foods.
- Take a denture out at night, rinse it under water and keep it in a dry box.
- Clean crowns just like your own teeth: with a brush, toothpaste and floss.
- Attend professional dental hygiene visits regularly: this extends the life of the restoration.
- An annual check-up helps to spot signs of wear or loosening in good time.
If you notice a loose crown, a cracked denture or discomfort when eating, call us without delay. A small adjustment early on is far cheaper than making a new restoration.

- Trusted materials: zirconia, E.max, metal-ceramic; for each case we choose the most suitable one for the load and the aesthetics.
- Full assessment before starting: X-rays, diagnostic models and photographs, so there are no surprises midway through treatment.
- Flexible payment options: larger cases can be split into stages and paid after each visit.
Dentist Lauras Smilgevičius on dental prosthetics:
Dental prosthetics is one of my favourite areas of work. Because it is difficult, but at the same time terribly interesting. I will not talk about the types of dentures, their shapes and materials. That can be discussed during a consultation, and there is endless information on the subject online. I am more interested in another aspect, which I would like to share.
When patients face serious dental problems, they often waste a lot of energy and money simply because they flounder without a clear system or treatment plan. When there is chaos in the mouth, what is really needed is a proper engineering project. So I believe the first and most serious task falls to the prosthetic dentist, who is responsible for the architecture of the mouth, so that not only the aesthetics but also the function are good, the restorations last a long time, and the treatment itself runs smoothly. In our clinic that task usually falls to me.
I always say that good treatment begins with assessment and full diagnostics. Only then, together with the patient, taking their finances and other circumstances into account, do we draw up a treatment plan, around which it is then easy to coordinate the work of the whole team of dentists. We must also not forget that the dental technician plays a very important role in prosthetic work.
Patients who lose one tooth often do not worry about it: 'well, there is still plenty to chew with.' But this attitude is mistaken, especially if more teeth are lost, because an empty space does not stay empty for long. Something will always want to take it, and that is how the cycle of problems begins. The teeth start to live a life of their own, they drift and tilt. Once the uncontrolled process gains pace, the problems can travel beyond the mouth too: the jaw starts to shift, the smile becomes crooked, the face turns asymmetrical.
The position of the lower jaw joint changes, the muscle tone changes, the person's posture changes, and this can lead to neck pain, back pain or shoulder numbness. We are not assembled from separate blocks: heart and vessels here, a leg there, an arm over there, and a few teeth tossed somewhere at the front. No, in the human body everything is connected, and if one system starts to fail, another tries to compensate, but in time it wears out. And then we have a pile of chronic illnesses and a handful of pills. Perhaps I have painted it a little dramatically, but that is how it is.
A decade ago, when I first became interested in how the bite affects other functions of the body (breathing, posture and others), it all seemed rather hard to believe, but now, having examined so many patients, I have no doubts left, and we hear about it more and more often at courses and seminars. So I want to speak about the body as one connected system, to explain it to patients, to educate them and to stay ahead of events, because, as everywhere, prevention is the cheapest and simplest form of treatment.
