What Prosthetic Dentistry Does for Your Smile
When a tooth is in trouble, restorative dental treatment can often save it. By restoring the tooth’s health and integrity, stopping it from receiving further damage, and/or preventing an infection from growing worse, you have a good chance at saving your tooth. However, losing or extracting a tooth doesn’t leave any tooth structure to be restored. To reestablish your good oral health and bite function, you’ll need a custom-designed dental prosthesis, such as a dental bridge, denture, or dental implants, to fully rebuild your smile. (more…)
