Tooth replacement is a basic dental procedure which aims at restoring the function and aesthetics of patients’ teeth if they are damaged or missing. The wide range of tooth replacement options make sure that everyone can find the solution most suitable for them.
Types:
- Crowns: They cover single teeth which are heavily damaged or restored, preserving their function and improving their appearance.
- Bridges: They replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth, by connecting them with healthy adjacent teeth.
- Partial or full dentures: Removable appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. Full dentures replace all teeth, partial ones only some teeth.
- Implants: Artificial root inserted into bone, which can be fitted with a crown or a bridge thereby ensuring the most natural feel and look.
Benefits:
- Functionality: Improve chewing and speaking.
- Aesthetics: Restore Your natural smile.
- Protection: Prevents other teeth from moving and damage.
- Durability: Provide a long-lasting solution.

Tooth replacement Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does the process look like?
The process depends on the type of tooth replacement:
Crowns and bridges: The dentist prepares the tooth (or teeth), takes an impression based on which the lab manufactures the crown or the bridge, after which the item is put into place.
Implants: Implantation is a surgical procedure. Once the implant has integrated into the bone, a crown is put on it that mimics your natural teeth.
Dentures: The dentist takes an impression of your oral cavity based on which the dentures are manufactured. The patient can put them in and take them out.

What follow-up treatments are necessary after tooth replacements?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential after a replacement. This includes regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups. Regularly getting the plaque and tartar removed is especially important if you have implants or bridges because it makes sure the replacement is not damaged and inflammation does not occur.

How long do tooth replacements last?
The durability of tooth replacements depends on a lot of factors including material quality, patient oral hygiene and the type of replacement. With regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene, tooth replacements can serve patients for years or even decades.
