Prosthodontics

Prosthodontics is a highly specialized branch of dentistry dedicated to restoring and replacing teeth using dental prosthetics. Prosthodontists at The Urban Dentist offer a wide range of treatments, including crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants to support these prostheses. Our best Prosthodontists can also enhance damaged teeth with veneers, correct irregularities, and perform complete smile makeovers.

These treatments play a crucial role in maintaining oral health and function, particularly for individuals dealing with missing teeth or oral trauma affecting their ability to eat, speak, and maintain proper mouth structure.

When a tooth is lost or extracted, the surrounding bone weakens, leading to neighbouring teeth shifting and creating gaps. This can cause various issues such as fractures, mobility, and even further tooth loss. Additionally, tooth loss can result in infections, affecting gum tissues and underlying bone, potentially leading to progressive bone loss and receding gums.

There are several options for replacing missing teeth, including implants, crowns, bridges, or dentures. Sometimes, a combination of these options, such as implant-supported dentures or bridges, may be recommended for optimal results.

Moreover, replacing missing teeth not only restores oral function but also helps distribute bite forces evenly among remaining teeth, preserving their longevity. By saving one tooth, you’re also contributing to the overall health of adjacent teeth.

Consulting a prosthodontist at The Urban Dentist for missing teeth replacement can provide tailored solutions to meet your specific needs, ensuring a healthy and confident smile for years to come.
