Missing Tooth

Missing Tooth

Missing teeth can be a major concern in dentistry, as it affects the patient’s facial aesthetics, speech, mastication, and overall oral health. It can also create an uneven bite, leading to further complications such as temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD). There are a variety of treatment options available to replace lost teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Dental implants are the longest-lasting and most natural-appearing treatment option for missing teeth. They are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, or to secure a bridge or denture in place. The patient’s bone fuses to the implant, providing a strong and secure foundation for the new tooth. Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are made of two or more crowns that are connected to adjacent teeth to span the gap. The crowns are cemented in place and provide a strong, secure foundation for the artificial tooth. Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. They can be full or partial, and are custom-made to fit the shape of the patient’s mouth. Dentures are made of acrylic and can be held in place with adhesive or supported with dental implants. No matter which treatment option is chosen, missing teeth must be replaced to maintain oral health and prevent further complications. Patients should consult their dentist to discuss which treatment is best for them.
