Why Do We Need to Restore/Extract Teeth?

Tooth injury can occur from several causes. A car accident, a sports injury, a tumble, or even tooth rot can all endanger your teeth's health and structure. This damage may also allow bacteria to enter the teeth, causing significant, painful infections. Damaged teeth can be repaired in many circumstances. However, if the damage is severe enough, the only method to protect your dental health may be to extract and replace your teeth.

Reasons to Get a Tooth Extraction

The following are some of the oral conditions that may necessitate an extraction procedure:

• Dental cavities.
• Gum disease.
• Tooth infections.
• Crowded teeth.

Teeth Replacement Options Following Tooth Extraction

The following are the replacement options that patients typically pursue after having a tooth extracted:

Dental Bridge

One of the quickest ways to replace a missing tooth is with a cemented bridge. It is not recommended to fill two gaps in a row. It is often made up of three fused crowns, with the middle one covering the area left by the excised tooth.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are custom-made plates with one or more replacement teeth and clasps to keep the dentures in place within the mouth. 

Dental Implant

A dental implant is essentially an anchor to which a crown is attached. The implant, which acts as a root, is inserted in the lower or upper jaw. Implants are generally stable and secure, and they feel and function similarly to real teeth. As a result, they are a popular option for those in need of a replacement tooth or teeth.

Why Do You Need Tooth Restoration?

Restoration is used to prevent infection and further decay in your mouth, and it is also feasible to restore a missing tooth.

One of the driving forces behind dental restoration is the desire to improve your smile and regain your confidence. A lack of self-confidence caused by missing teeth can have a cascading impact on other elements of your life. These dental restorations are made to match the color and size of your other teeth, so the new tooth blends in with the rest of your smile. Another reason dental restoration is vital is that replacing the tooth might prevent further damage to your mouth.
