Missing Tooth

Specialist Missing Tooth Replacement in London

Common dental issues like a tooth pain or discoloured tooth as well as tooth decay or damage to the tooth or the gum can cause a loss of a tooth. Your dentist can prescribe various treatments to have these problems resolved, and restore your smile. However, the most common dental treatment options include fillings, crowns or veneers, although your dentist will decide the choice of a suitable treatment option based on the damage on your tooth.

What Can Cause Damage and Loss of Your Teeth?

Some causes of teeth loss and damage include physical wear and tear of the tooth, sometimes due to teeth grinding, and tooth decay. Intake of food and drinks high in sugar can also cause damages to your teeth.

Dental Need Care Available For Damaged Or Missing Tooth

There are various possible dental treatments suitable for curing or replacing damaged teeth. Your dentist will have your teeth and gums examined first and recommend treatment based on the type and severity of the damage and also the tooth affected by the damage.

All options available to you will be discussed, and your dentist will recommend and assist you in planning a treatment that is suitable for your dental needs. Some of the available treatment includes;

Fillings

Dental fillings resolve issues of tooth pain and toothache by covering up cavities in your teeth and ensuring that more severe damages are prevented. During a filling, decayed and weakened surfaces of the tooth are carefully removed. The cavity is filled with a tooth-coloured composite or with an amalgam which is a filling material made with silver.

Crowns

Crowns are dental caps fitted over the surfaces of damaged teeth to improve the look of the tooth and prevent additional damage.

Crowns are custom-made based on the recommendations of your dentist, and it is produced from porcelain and metal — Porcelain crowns are natural-looking and hard to distinguish from your natural teeth, as they can be made to match the natural look and shade of your teeth.

Veneers

Veneers are essential for fixing chipped, stained and improperly aligned teeth. During a veneer fitting, your dentist will usually scrape away a thin layer of tooth enamel, and have tooth-coloured porcelain fixed to the surface of your tooth.

Why should you have your teeth restored?

  • Having your damaged tooth repaired will prevent the risk of additional damage to the tooth, and also ensure that all other healthy parts are preserved.
  • Fixing cavities and crooked teeth will reduce the pain of biting and chewing, and make eating and drinking easier.
