Losing one or more teeth can significantly impact both the appearance of your smile and the functionality of your mouth. At The Orchid Dental Clinic in New Delhi, we offer several effective options for teeth replacement that can restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.

Teeth Replacement Options

Depending on your individual needs, we provide various teeth replacement solutions, including:

• Dental Implants: A permanent solution that involves placing titanium implants into the jawbone, serving as the root for replacement teeth.
• Dental Bridges: A fixed solution that uses adjacent teeth as anchors to replace one or more missing teeth.
• Dentures: Removable prosthetic teeth, ideal for patients missing several or all teeth in a jaw.

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

Replacing missing teeth is essential for several reasons:

• Functionality: Teeth are vital for chewing and speaking. Missing teeth can make it harder to eat certain foods and affect speech.
• Prevent Shifting: When a tooth is missing, adjacent teeth can shift into the gap, leading to misalignment and other dental problems.
• Aesthetics: Missing teeth can cause a sunken appearance in the face and negatively affect the overall look of your smile.

The Procedure

The teeth replacement process varies depending on the chosen solution:

• Dental Implants: The process involves multiple stages, including placing the implant, allowing the bone to heal and integrate with the implant, and finally attaching the replacement tooth.
• Bridges: Bridges require two or more visits, during which the adjacent teeth are prepared, and the bridge is custom-made and fitted.
• Dentures: Dentures are made after taking impressions of your mouth and typically require a few adjustments for a perfect fit.

Caring for Your Replacement Teeth

With proper care, teeth replacements can last for many years. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly, and attending routine dental check-ups.
