What dental restoration methods can we offer at Brickell Dental Care? Lack of teeth is a physiological and psychological problem. Whatever teeth are missing in a row – be it a chewing molar or an anterior incisor – they must be restored as soon as possible.
What are the dangers of a long absence of teeth? The list of negative consequences is extensive:
- The antagonist tooth is pushed forward, losing its point of contact. Eventually, it can become loose, loose, fall out, or require extraction.
- Neighboring teeth shift toward the “gap.” In this way, gaps appear between them and their neighbors.
- Decreased quality of chewing function directly affects the digestive system.
- The lack of chewing teeth has a negative impact on the shape of the face, and the signs of early aging appear immediately.
- Lack of front teeth affects diction, a person becomes complex, his self-esteem decreases, there is a high risk of social maladjustment.
How to avoid all this?
The dentists at Brickell Dental Care are fluent in numerous methods of restoring teeth, choosing the best option for each patient.
Microprosthetics
Microprosthetics are orthopedic methods that allow you to restore the destroyed part of the crown of a living tooth, provided there is a whole and healthy root. The most popular technologies of microprosthetics are veneers, lumineers, stump inlays. Once again, please note that these restoration options are suitable only in cases where there is a tooth root.
Prosthetics
The two main methods of prosthetics are dental crowns or bridges. A bridge is a group of crowns that are joined together. Artificial teeth can be made of a variety of materials – from budget metal-ceramics to premium zirconium dioxide. It is worth highlighting metal-free ceramics, which according to CAD/CAM technology allows you to restore teeth in 2-3 hours.
A crown can be placed if the tooth is very badly destroyed, but its root is still able to withstand the load of the prosthesis. If the tooth is extracted, a bridge or implant-supported prosthesis is placed instead of a crown.
Dental implants
The most effective, safe, and reliable way to restore a missing tooth today is with dental implants. This procedure involves implanting an artificial titanium root into the bone tissue of the jaw. The upper part of the implant is covered with a crown.
The crown can be chosen from any material of your choice according to your aesthetic preferences and budget. What is good about this option?
- You are not grinding down the neighboring teeth for the bridge, which means they will last much longer.
- You provide the correct load on the bone, but the tissue beneath the new teeth, which means it will atrophy more slowly.
In the setting of our state-of-the-art dental clinic at Brickell Dental Care, 65 SE, 9th St, Miami, FL 33131, implant placement is completely painless.
