Missing even one tooth can significantly change the way the rest of your teeth bite. Food could get trapped in the vacant spaces, increasing discomfort, risks of tooth decay and infections. A missing tooth could affect the way you look and make your speechless clear. Missing a tooth can be an emotionally difficult situation to deal with and inversely impact self-esteem. Replacing missing teeth can help you beautify your smile, eat more comfortably and keep teeth healthy.
Importance of missing tooth replacement
Missing teeth can severely influence your daily routine life and can also affect your general health, your appearance, & self-esteem.
In India, almost 75% of the population is missing one or more teeth in their entire dentition. Most adults start with a full set of 32 teeth, comprising incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. Missing Tooth can lead to reduced self-confidence & lack of functionality as well because of gaps in his/her smile. Effects on aesthetics are not the only lacking part but it hampers normal functions of the oral cavity also. All teeth are very important & play a vital role. They help to chew and grind up food, speak clearly and display your smile.
Missing Teeth can be due to several reasons such as trauma or injury, excessive decay, periodontal diseases, or genetics.
Meanwhile, it is very important to replace a missing tooth because when a tooth is missing there is no contact with the opposing arch & can also cause the recession of bone along with it. This can also cause opposing teeth to gradually extrude which leads to other problems, such as gum problems, mobility, fractures, tooth loss and shifting in surrounding teeth, etc. and many more which will hamper the functionality of dentition.
Our missing tooth treatment clinic in Noida offers a variety of treatment options including:
-Crowns and Bridges
-Dental Implants
-Dentures
Crowns and Bridges:
The crown protects the tooth or filling while crowning is a dental procedure used to “cap” a damaged tooth using a crown. We offer a selection of different materials of the crown & its warranty period including metal crowns, porcelain fused to metal, porcelain fused to titanium, and ceramic (metal free/zirconia).
A dental bridge is one of the most popular & affordable dental treatments used to replace a missing tooth, the most frequently used positions the replacement tooth (pontic) between two or more crowns that are fitted to the adjacent teeth. Selection of material & warranty period is as same as dental crowns.
Dental crowns and bridges are fixed dental restoration treatments. Unlike dentures, dental crowns are cemented over a natural tooth or a dental implant, and cannot be taken out regularly to clean.
We recommend a crown for instances where, we need to cover a large filling, or restore a fractured tooth, protect a weak tooth from further damage or fracturing and to cover a dental implant or a tooth that has had a root canal treatment
While crowns and bridges last over 10-15 years, we suggest taking proper care and maintaining oral hygiene to keep this intact. We suggest regular checkups and professional cleanings ensure best results and longevity.
Dental Implants:
An implant is a dental procedure to help replace a missing tooth or completely edentulous (without any teeth in the jaw) mouth in a very natural way. Implants are surgically placed in the jawbone with a series of minor surgeries. A dental implant is normally done in stages, over three to six months time frame & can also be done as an immediate implant with a period of 3-4 days.
The procedure typically involves a minor operation and is administered with an anesthetic. The artificial tooth or teeth are screwed into the foundation with implants. The implant is metal piece resembling a screw and is placed into the jaw. Over time, the bone around it grows to hold the new tooth in place.
We recommend dental implants since they offer a longer-lasting solution that is sturdier, looks & functions like natural teeth.
Dentures:
A denture is a custom-made, removable appliance that replaces missing teeth. With the advent of technology & material, dentures have become smaller, lighter, natural-looking, and more comfortable. Dentures can help you eat and speak well and improve your bite, appearance, and smile.
We offer a range of denture services, including making new dentures or repairing existing dentures. We offer a selection of Dentures you can choose from porcelain, acrylic resin, partial metal, and flexible dentures.
Dentures can be either partial or complete. A partial denture typically fits around a natural tooth while a complete denture typically replaces all teeth in a single jaw. Dentures can be life transforming & are absolutely painless with minimum maintenance.
