Teeth replacement is done to supplant a damaged or a decayed tooth that cannot be otherwise restored. In such situations the patient is eager to have the missing teeth replaced.
A dental cavity weakens the teeth and makes the teeth weak and the gingivitis results in loosening of the teeth. You suffer from pain in the gums and it hurts when you bite food that is hard. In such a condition there is no option except teeth replacement. An examination of the mouth through x-rays and dental history is needed to determine the feasibility of extraction.
Several procedures should be carried out when preparing for the replacement of teeth.
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 teeth replacement depends on the number of teeth being extracted and replaced and the procedures chosen for the replacement. Additional fees depend upon the dentist who is treating you. 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.
It is recommended that you discuss the various options that are available to you with your dentist. Also make sure that your insurance plan will cover the various costs involved in tooth replacement.
