When you have experienced damage to a tooth, you need to repair the injury as soon as possible to protect your smile. Your team at Gentle Smiles in Dallas, TX, offers restorative treatments like crowns and bridges to help repair or replace missing and damaged teeth. In our blog today, we’re here to talk about how our restorative treatments can help you.
Avoid Damage To Your Teeth
Your pearly whites are incredibly strong. They can withstand pressure from chewing food everyday and endure a lot of pressure, but they are not indestructible. If you have worn them down from grinding your teeth (bruxism) or have suffered from an injury to your face or mouth, your teeth could be at risk of cracking. This can require restorative treatments in the future, which can require additional time at your dentist office. You may be able to prevent some injuries by protecting your smile with an oral appliance if you have bruxism, mouthguards if you play sports, and visiting your dentist regularly to maintain good oral hygiene. Not all accidents can be prevented, but taking these steps to avoid them can help keep your teeth safe.
Your Custom Crown And Bridge
A dental bridge may be used if you have lost a few teeth in the same row. Regardless of the reason for your tooth loss, you will need to seek restorative treatment as soon as possible to avoid further harm to your smile. Gaps caused by tooth loss can make it difficult to chew and talk, can negatively affect your self-esteem, and can cause your other pearly whites to shift out of place. If you need a dental bridge, your dentist will take an impression of your oral cavity to create the custom bridge. Dental crowns will be added to the adjacent teeth to support your bridge. Your bridge is secured in place and not removable, making it a great secure option.
Additional Restorative Treatments
Every patient has different needs, and a dental bridge and crown may not be an optimal solution for your needs. We also offer prosthetic options like dentures and implants to help replace your lost teeth. Dentures may be used if you have experienced significant tooth loss and need to refresh your smile. Your dentures can be either full or partial, depending on how many teeth need to be replaced. Implant-retained prosthetics may be a helpful option for patients who need additional support for their jaws.
