There are many treatments that can help with missing teeth Berkshire, but some are less well known than others. In this short article, we’ll introduce you to the many treatments and list all the benefits, helping you to make a decision on which will be the best for you.
Dental implants
If you have missing teeth Berkshire, dental implants might be the treatment we recommend for you. The process includes installing a titanium screw into your jaw that acts as your new tooth root, before placing the artificial tooth on top. We know, it sounds too good to be true, but it really is as simple as that! Your artificial teeth are made to look and act exactly like your real teeth, so you don’t have to feel insecure about people knowing you have the implants. On top of this, you can go about your life as you please, eating and talking with confidence. The dental implants will also support your facial structure and stimulate new bone and tissue growth.
Crowns
Crowns are a treatment often used to fix missing teeth Berkshire, or teeth that have been damaged. The crowns are made uniquely for your mouth and begin with taking an impression of your teeth, before making the crown and fitting it in place. In some areas involving damaged or deteriorating teeth, crowns can be used to completely replace them. We can give you a completely new smile and confidence in your appearance in almost no time at all! They will function just like your old teeth did while also supporting the remaining tooth structure, helping to prevent and avoid problems that may arise from losing a tooth.
Bridges
In cases where a crown cannot be used as the restoration or the replacement needed is more extensive, we can offer you a bridge! Bridges are a sturdy alternative when there are multiple teeth in a row that are missing or needing restoration. They can also be fixed to your jaw alongside dental implants, meaning that no matter what the issue, there is always an option for you! It is important to take extra care with this treatment option, but your chewing function will be fully restored, just like your confidence.
Dentures
Probably one of the more common treatments, dentures are made to fit snugly into your mouth and are completely removable for added cleaning benefits. Just like with all tooth replacements, it is important to take extra care with this option and keep on top of your dental hygiene schedule! We’re always available if you have any questions or concerns.
