Teeth restoration
Lost a tooth? There is still hope!
We all start with a set of primary teeth, which are then replaced by permanent teeth. This set of teeth is supposed to stay with us for the rest of our lives.
What happens when we lose a tooth? How is it replaced?
Read below about teeth restoration and healing process.
Teeth restoration: why?
Treated in time, your teeth can be saved. Otherwise, they can be lost completely.
Teeth restoration is performed in the following cases:
Gum disease – gum diseases such as gum inflammation can cause lack of stability of teeth in the jaw, and result in tooth loss.
Age – teeth can get weaker with age; elderly people tend to lose teeth as they get older.
Fall – accidents or injuries can cause loss of teeth. It is not always possible to reinforce a lost tooth; some cases are irreversible.
How is this done?
The dentists of Dr. Ackerman’s Dental Clinic are teeth restoration experts. Our professional skilled team offers a variety of treatments, personally suited for each patient.
When only one tooth is missing, the dentist can apply a dental bridge, held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap. The dental bridge is made of strong porcelain that keeps steady for a long time.
In recent years, dental implants are performed with great success, as a permanent teeth restoration solution. This procedure can be done for one missing tooth or more, even in full jaw loss.
The implants are screwed into the jaw, so that they are as steady as possible. The dental implant is taped with a dental crown shaped like a natural tooth, and fixed firmly.
The dental implant procedure is a popular surgery, which should be performed in a specialized clinic, for successful results.
