Teeth Replacement

Teeth replacement is done to supplant a damaged or a decayed tooth that cannot be restored and when the patient too is willing to get rid of the dental problem. A dentist can only help you in teeth replacement. Teeth cavity makes the teeth weak and the gingivitis starts to make the teeth loose. You suffer from pain in the gums and can no longer use them to bite slightly hard food. In such a condition you have no option but go for teeth replacement. An examination of the mouth, x-rays and dental history is needed to determine the extraction. Several dental modus operandi are needed to prepare for replacement of teeth. They include:

* Oral Diagnosis: A general treatment planning is necessary after extraction.
* Endodontics: Coinciding teeth may need root canal treatment.
* Oral Surgery: It is done to reshape the bone or gum.
* Orthodontics: Straightening before bridges are attached when teeth are too spaced, crowded, or crooked.

The various methods for teeth replacement are:

* Bridge
* Complete Upper Denture
* Complete Lower Denture
* Immediate Denture
* Removable Partial Denture
* Processed Reline
* Implant

The cost of the teeth replacement depends on the number of teeth being extracted and replaced and the procedures chosen for the replacement. Additional fees depend upon the doctor or practitioner under whom you are having treatment. Enquire about the cost estimate before the treatment begins. The wound after the replacement takes nearly 6 weeks to heal. Any further replacement of nearby teeth except an immediate denture should wait till the extraction area has healed.
