Expert Missing Teeth Dental Treatment in Hyderabad
Missing teeth can significantly affect your daily life, making it difficult to speak, chew, and smile confidently. Knowing the causes, types, and treatment options for missing teeth can help you make informed decisions regarding your oral health.
What Are Missing Teeth?
Missing teeth refer to teeth lost due to decay, injury, infection, or other causes. Once a tooth is lost, it leaves a gap that affects both function and aesthetics.
Causes of Lost Teeth
There are several reasons why a person may lose teeth.
- Tooth Decay: Severe, untreated decay can lead to tooth loss.
- Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease, also known as periodontitis, can compromise the retaining structures that hold your teeth causing them to loosen and eventually fall out.
- Injury or Trauma: The loss of a tooth can occur after an accident or any sports-related injury, especially if the teeth are cracked or broken.
- Genetic Causes: Some individuals are born with fewer teeth due to conditions such as hypodontia.
- Aging: Teeth naturally become weak and more prone to wear and eventual loss with advancing age.
Types of Missing Teeth
There are different situations when teeth may be lost:
- Single Tooth Loss: When one tooth is missing, leaving a gap.
- Multiple Teeth Lost: Multiple teeth may be missing in one area or scattered throughout the mouth.
- Complete Tooth Loss: Complete loss of teeth usually requires full dentures or implants.
Before and After Missing Tooth
Treatments for Missing Teeth
There are several treatments that can restore missing teeth. They include:
- Dental Implants: These are permanent fixtures in which a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone to serve as a new tooth root. The artificial crown is then attached to this post to restore both function and appearance.
- Dentures: Removable appliances that replace missing teeth. Full dentures replace all teeth, while partial dentures are used when only a few teeth are missing.
- Bridges: Dental bridges fill gaps by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth.
- Dental Crowns: Used to restore damaged teeth or as part of implant procedures for missing teeth.
