Dental implants
Dental implants are one option for replacing missing teeth. Planning typically considers the available bone, gum health, the condition of neighbouring teeth, bite forces, overall health and the restoration that will sit on the implant. A consultation and appropriate imaging are needed before a dentist can say whether implants are suitable.
Crowns
A crown covers and protects a tooth that has lost significant structure. Bel Souri’s patient information also notes that crowns are commonly considered after root canal treatment where a tooth needs reinforcement.
Bridges
A bridge can replace a missing tooth by connecting a restoration across adjacent supports. The condition of those supporting teeth and the design of the space are important parts of the decision.
Dentures
Bel Souri publishes denture services for patients needing removable tooth replacement. The recommended design depends on how many teeth are missing, the remaining teeth, the bite and the supporting tissues.
