Ask for consequences of failure to replace missing tooth
Removable partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colour plastic bases. Removable partial dentures provide a viable alternative to fixed bridgework or implants as a means of replacing missing teeth and are much less expensive.
A crown is used to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged /discoloured/broken down tooth. Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. In this technique replaced artificial fixed tooth is attached to adjacent natural teeth on either side. But ASK for advantages of Dental implant over Bridge technique.
Today Dental implant is most ideal way to replace the missing tooth or teeth. Implant dentistry Dental implant is latest technology in making fixed teeth, in which titanium fixture/pin is placed inside the jaw bone over which tooth is placed, designed to blend with adjacent teeth, giving natural lifelike appearance.

OUR SPECIALITY
Oral physiotherapy means gums and teeth home care. Causes for gum disease are multifactorial. Primary cause is dental plaque. Dental plaque is whitish yellowish layer of bacteria that is formed around tooth. We believe in prevention is better than cure. Hence dental plaque removal has to be efficient at home. Oral physiotherapy includes brushing technique, cleaning aids between two teeth, rinsing, flossing and other specific oral hygiene instructions.
At MY FAMILY DENTIST dental clinic we first study the individual mouth/oral requirements and then accordingly advice specific oral hygiene instructions to the individual, as part of supportive periodontal therapy.
Oral prophylaxis includes thorough cleaning of your teeth and the gum lines, in absence of any gum disease. Usually at MY FAMILY DENTIST dental clinic we advice oral prophylaxis once in a year. Fluoride application treatment is recommended after oral prophylaxis.
