Teeth Replacement

How can I replace my missing tooth?

Teeth are lost either due to disease, habits, accidents,failed restorative treatments or the ageing process when there is a process of wear and tear.
Edentulous or missing teeth spaces have to be replaced in order to restore form and function. The loss of even one tooth in your jaw has far reaching effects . Imbalance in the chewing pattern, the stress on the remaining teeth, migration of adjacent teethinto these gaps changes in facial contours – all these are potential risks and cancause many complications.
Gaps between teeth can be restored with removable partial denture, a fixed bridge ifthere are sufficient teeth to support or by today’s most popular method of choice, theDental Implant.

What if I lost a tooth due to cavities?

These types of teeth cannot be saved. If a tooth is lost due to cavities, it implies that a lot of tooth structure has been damaged by the cavity causing the tooth to fracture. Depending on how the tooth fractures, it may be able to recreate this tooth with a filling, a crown, or a root canal and crown. If the fracture is very deep, then it may be needed to extract this tooth and replace it with a dental implant, a bridge, or a denture.

My tooth has been shaking for a long time and just came out today while eating something soft. Can I still save it?

This situation sounds like chronic gum (periodontal) disease. These types of teeth cannot be re-implanted back into the socket. They need to be replaced with a dental implant, crown or bridge. Our Expert Team at Sanjeev Dental will ensure that you are educated on proper oral hygiene techniques including tooth brushing and flossing to ensure that you don’t lose any more teeth and your replacement teeth serve you for a long time to come. We will also check that your blood sugar levels are within normal limits in case you are a diabetic, as high blood sugar levels are strongly linked to gum disease.
