Missing a tooth? What are your options?
At Parramatta and Cabramatta Dental Studios, our skilled dentists will always try to save your tooth. Unfortunately, in some cases, badly broken down or cracked teeth cannot be saved with root canal therapy or crowns and will require extraction.
What happens when you lose a tooth?
- Less teeth to chew on and more pressure on your remaining teeth
- Other teeth drift into the space
- Jawbone starts to shrink away and the gums follow suit
- A dental implant can be placed if you have adequate thickness and height of jawbone (in some cases bone grafting may be required)
- A dental bridge can be cemented on; this uses your existing teeth as supports for a false tooth or teeth
- A removable denture
- A direct bonded bridge can be suitable for small tooth spaces and completed in a single visit
