Restoring and replacing your teeth with our dentist in Dorking
It is important to maintain a good dental hygiene routine so that your teeth are clean and strong, and that your gums are healthy and free of disease. It is also important that you visit our dentist in Dorking at least once every six months for a dental health examination so that any signs of tooth decay or gum disease can be detected early on and treated successfully. If you avoid the dentist for long periods of time and are unable to maintain a good dental hygiene routine, then your teeth can be affected by decay and disease. Over time, this can result in tooth loss.
Tooth loss as an adult can be a distressing situation to find yourself in, and can have a negative impact on all aspects of your life. If you have lost a tooth, or if you need a tooth extraction, then speaking to our dentist in Dorking at the Bespoke Dental Lounge will help you find out how these can be best replaced.
It is important to replace missing teeth sooner rather than later to reduce the implications it can have on the appearance of your smile, the function of your mouth, the health of your remaining teeth, and your overall health and well-being.
Here at Bespoke Dental Lounge we have different methods of replacing missing teeth to suit your dental requirements and your personal preferences.
Fillings and crowns
If your tooth has been affected by decay or damage then, on some occasions, this may not lead to an extraction; instead, a filling may be sufficient to restore the tooth. There are different types of fillings depending on your personal preferences; the most popular choice are white fillings as these have many advantages over traditional fillings when used to restore your tooth. If there are significant concerns then the areas of decay and damage can be removed before fitting a crown in order to restore the tooth’s original appearance and function. Both of these options ensure that the original tooth remains, although hidden, which is often better than replacing the tooth completely.
Dental implants
If you have a missing tooth, or multiple missing teeth, then you can speak to us at Bespoke Dental Lounge and find out about dental implants. Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. Our dentist in Dorking will carry out an examination of your mouth and work out the best treatment plan for you. Dental implants are small titanium screws that are drilled into your jaw to create strong foundations for your choice of tooth replacement. With dental implants, you can have fixed crowns, bridges, or a set of dentures to replace your missing teeth. Dental implants are strong and they are designed to last for the rest of your life. The replacement tooth; for example the crown, bridge, or dentures, may need replacing after a while but the implant itself will help you restore the appearance and function of your smile for many years to come.
