Especially if they don’t visit their dentist regularly!
“Many patients are living the legacy of a tooth extraction; perhaps a decision which has had both physical and other repercussions.”
The gap left by the removed tooth can cause many problems. It can affect your bite, catch food, and over time lead to tooth and gum problems in adjacent teeth. Other teeth may move into the gap, changing the way your upper and lower teeth meet.
In situations like this, where only one or two teeth need replacing, and we have adjacent teeth that are heavily filled; a bridge is a worthy option.
With health fund rebates and flexible finance options available, it makes sense to consider a dental bridge if you want to address both practical and aesthetic concerns.
Want the chance to discuss your options? Dr Nimesh will take you through the possibilities in a half hour consult.
Then a crown might be the ideal solution.
Like many dental treatments, crowns can be a bit of a mystery, that is, until you need one yourself and come to understand the benefits this treatment provides.
A crown is an artificial restoration providing complete coverage and strength to a damaged tooth.
Dental crowns are an ideal solution if you are looking to improve the appearance of teeth that have been damaged or discoloured, or you are looking to protect teeth that may have undergone root canal treatment.
Dental crown technology and materials have now advanced such that crowns take on the appearance and translucency of real teeth. For a patient considering crowns as an option for aesthetic enhancement and practical reasons, the many choices available means there are fewer excuses for postponing this decision.
Flexible finance options also make it easy for our patients to invest in themselves.
