Complex restorative options for teeth typically involve advanced treatments to address significant dental damage or decay, often when simpler methods like fillings or crowns are insufficient. One such option is a dental implant, which replaces a missing tooth by placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which then integrates with the bone over time. This procedure is ideal for patients who have lost teeth due to trauma, decay, or disease, and provides a permanent and functional solution. Additionally, dental bridges, which involve placing artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth, can restore both function and aesthetics for patients with several missing teeth. These options, while effective, often require thorough planning and multiple visits to ensure proper fitting and integration
Another advanced restorative option includes full - mouth reconstruction, which combines a variety of treatments to restore or replace all of the teeth in a patient's mouth. This can involve procedures such as veneers, crowns, bridges, and sometimes implants, all designed to improve the function, appearance, and health of the patient's teeth. A full - mouth reconstruction might be necessary in cases of severe wear, trauma, or congenital conditions that have impacted the structure and health of the teeth. These comprehensive treatments are customized to each individual's needs and may require collaboration between several dental specialists, including general dentists, oral surgeons, and periodontists, to achieve optimal results.
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of the smile. They are custom-made to fit the contours of your mouth and can be made for either the upper or lower jaw, or both. There are two main types of dentures:
