Do you know how much of a role your oral health plays in your overall well-being? Any impairment in your oral function can significantly impact your quality of life. The good news is, restorative dentistry offers a range of procedures designed to restore oral function and improve the overall health and appearance of your teeth. From dental implants to bridges and dentures, these interventions have revolutionized the field of dentistry, allowing you to regain your confidence and enjoy a healthier, more functional smile.
Dental Implants
One of the most valuable advancements in restorative dentistry is the dental implant. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically inserted into your jawbone to provide a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. They not only enhance the look of your smile but also restore normal oral function so you can chew, speak and bite again naturally.
Bridges
Bridges are another important restorative dentistry procedure that can help improve your oral function. A dental bridge is a fixed appliance that replaces one or more spaces left behind by missing teeth. They literally bridge the gap between the remaining natural teeth. The bridge is anchored to the adjacent healthy teeth, offering much needed stability and restoring the ability to chew and speak again properly. By filling the empty spaces, bridges also keep the surrounding teeth from shifting. This helps protect your bite against misalignment.
Dentures
Dentures are available in both partial and complete sets. They have long been a traditional solution for those dealing with multiple missing teeth. In the case of complete dentures, they are great for replacing all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are effective when some natural teeth are still present. Dentures are adept at enabling proper chewing and speech, while also restoring the natural appearance of the smile. Thanks to modern advancements in dentistry, dentures have become more comfortable, natural-looking, and functional than ever!
