Using Prosthodontics For Tooth Repair

premier • Jul 19, 2019

Do you have damaged or missing teeth that affect your smile? Prosthodontics can help! This type of special dentistry focuses on repairing teeth, lips, gums, and all the facial features that go into a beautiful and healthy mouth. Teeth in need of repair can not only negatively affect your self-esteem, but can also get in the way of enjoying your favorite foods and drinks. The prosthodontists at South Holston Dental Designs are experts at replacing teeth, and we’re fully dedicated to helping you restore your smile!

Prosthodontics Services

Prosthodontists offer several options when it comes to repairing your teeth.

Crowns – These crowns cover the tooth above the gum line, providing an enhanced layer of protection. They are made of porcelain to appear like normal teeth.

Dental implants – While this is the most expensive method of repairing your teeth, it has the potential to be a permanent fix. When both the root and the crown of the tooth need replacement, prosthodontists create metal posts. The posts act as a sturdier alternative to standard crowns. They then fuse the post to the jawbone.

Partial dentures – Material designed of the highest quality to fit the exact shape of your mouth. Dentures derive from hand or digitally created designs with innovative CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technology. Having dentures may be unfamiliar and uncomfortable, but after an adjustment period, you’ll be able to enjoy the improved functionality and appearance of your teeth.

Bridges – Crowns attach to healthy teeth on either side of your mouth, also known as “abutment teeth”. They act as a literal bridge to support the crowns for the missing teeth between the abutment teeth. This has proven to be a highly successful method of repairing teeth but requires extra care to ensure that the abutment teeth stay healthy.

With prosthodontics, tooth repair is nothing to fear. It is very possible, so, contact us at South Holston for more information or to set up an appointment.
