TOOTH REPLACEMENT

MISSING TOOTH REPLACEMENT

You can lose your teeth if they get seriously damaged from things like cavities or accidents. Even gum issues can cause problems, making your teeth become loose and eventually fall out.

But don’t be afraid if you do lose a tooth because there are different ways to replace it. You can go for dental implants, which are like metal screws that act as new teeth roots. There are also bridges and dentures, which are removable replacements to fill the gap.

Sometimes, if a tooth is beyond saving, the dentist will have to remove it. In that case, they can give you a fake tooth, called a prosthesis, to fill in the empty space. This way, you can talk, eat, and smile like you used to. Losing a tooth isn’t ideal, but there are solutions to get your smile back on track.

TOOTH REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

TOOTH REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

A bunch of dental experts, like restorative specialists and surgeons, work closely together to give you the right treatment.

Your dental surgeon will check if you’re a good fit for these implants. They’ll think about things like how much bone you have, how your teeth and jaw are positioned, your daily dental habits, and your overall health. Sometimes, they’ll use special X-rays and scans to get a good look.

The whole treatment usually takes between four months to a year to finish. The time it takes depends on how tricky your case is and if you need extra things like bone grafting.

Step 1: Planning Your Treatment

First, the dental team will thoroughly check your overall health, the condition of your mouth, how your teeth fit together, and the amount of bone available. This helps them create a personalized plan for your treatment.

Step 2: The Surgical Process

Next, there’s a small surgical procedure where they put in special titanium screw into your bone. If your bone or the soft tissue around it isn’t enough, they might have to do some extra work, like grafting, to prepare for the implants.

Step 3: Making Your New Teeth

Once the titanium screw is all settled into your bone, it’s time to design and create your brand-new, permanent teeth. These teeth will look and work just like the real deal.

Removable Partial Denture, often called RPD

Removable Partial Denture (RPD)

A Removable Partial Denture, often called RPD, is a special dental device used when you’re missing some of your natural teeth. It’s not a permanent fix – you can take it in and out. This custom-made prosthesis has replacement teeth and clasps that grab onto your remaining teeth to stay in place. RPDs help restore your smile and make chewing easier, giving you a more comfortable and functional set of teeth. Just remember to clean them well and follow your dentist’s advice for proper care.

Dental Zirconia Bridge

Dental Bridge

A Dental Zirconia Bridge is like a sturdy, toothy bridge made from a material called zirconia. It’s designed to replace missing teeth and is fixed in your mouth, so you can’t take it out like dentures. Zirconia bridges are super durable and look quite natural, blending in with your real teeth. They’re a great option if you want a long-lasting solution for your missing teeth that also looks good. Just remember to maintain good oral hygiene to keep your zirconia bridge in tip-top shape.

Dental Implant

A Dental Implant is like a strong, artificial tooth root made from materials like titanium. It’s a fantastic option to replace a missing tooth because it’s durable and feels very natural. Dentists surgically place the implant in your jawbone, where it bonds with the bone over time. Then, a lifelike tooth crown is attached to it, making it look and function just like a real tooth. Dental implants can last a long time and can be a great solution for a confident smile. Remember to take good care of them with regular oral hygiene.
