Tooth loss can occur naturally due to age or dental health problems that occur due to years of gum disease and dental decay. After a tooth has been lost or extracted, you'll need to consult with a specialist to explore restorative dental treatments. Dental implants are highly regarded as the most effective way to repair a smile affected by tooth loss. This is because implants look and function just like natural teeth. Implants are inserted directly into the jaw using a titanium screw, and a porcelain crown is attached directly to the titanium screw. Implants can provide a totally natural looking restoration that can help patients chew and speak with more ease. An NJ prosthodontist can help you restore your smile's look and function with dental implants.
Dental bridges are also an excellent option when it comes to restoring a smile affected by tooth loss. Bridges help patients restore several teeth at once, and can be combined with dental implants to be held in place. Our NJ prosthodontist recommends dental bridges to anyone who needs a row or partial row of teeth replaced. Dental implants can be used to attach the bridge in place, or a healthy natural tooth can be used as an "anchor". Bridges can be permanently attached to your smile or they can be removable for convenience. Fixed or removable bridges will be recommended by our NJ prosthodontist depending on your unique smile needs and preferences.
Crowns look and function just like natural teeth, so our NJ prosthodontist recommends them for anyone looking to repair a smile. Dental crowns can be made out of porcelain, which is totally durable and stain resistant. They can be attached to titanium screws which will permanently place them in a patient's smile. Crowns are strong enough where they will likely never need to be removed or replaced, and they won't show signs of wear. Porcelain crowns are custom created to match a patient's smile exactly, so you can match the exact color and size tooth you need. You can also incorporate other cosmetic treatments combined with dental crowns so that you can enhance your entire smile. Whitening treatments can lift discoloration from your natural teeth so that you can seize the opportunity to improve your whole smile.
