MISSING A TOOTH! NOW WHAT?

You can lose a tooth due to a fall or a serious gum infection, but it can also happen that one or more teeth are missing because they have never formed. Whatever the cause, the dentist can ensure that your teeth are restored. So what are the options, and how does it work?

AESTHETIC AND FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS

Missing one or more teeth or molars can be very annoying. First of all, there is, of course, the aesthetic aspect. If you miss a tooth or molar, you can therefore lack the confidence to laugh out loud. That is, of course, not pleasant. However, missing teeth can also lead to functional problems. For example, teeth that border on "the open space" can shift, which can cause the lower and upper teeth to no longer fit together properly. This makes chewing difficult. Reasons enough to strive for a complete set of teeth. The dentist can help you with this in a number of ways.

1.      IMPLANTS

An artificial root made of metal, which is placed in the jaw, is called a fake tooth implant. The dentist makes an artificial tooth or artificial tooth (crown) on the artificial metal root.

2.      CROWNS AND BRIDGES

The dentist can also make a bridge where a tooth is missing. The adjacent teeth or molars – the pillars of the bridge – are first ground down, after which the dentist slides crowns – artificial teeth or molars – over them. A bridge can also be placed on implants.

3.      REMOVABLE PROVISION

Dentures or 'plates' are examples of removable appliances. A denture is a complete prosthesis, replacing the lower, upper, or both. Sometimes dentures are attached to implants so that they fit properly. This is then called a click denture. A plate is a partial denture that is used when some teeth are missing.

Don't you dare to laugh because your teeth are not complete? Shame! A dentist can help you. Exciting? Just talk first. You can always decide.
