Modern dentistry helps you regain your quality of life with strong teeth, with the appearance and functionality of your natural teeth.

Why should I not ignore the loss or deterioration of a tooth?

When a tooth is lost, the immediate solution is to replace it, especially if it is a front tooth, but what happens when you lose a tooth that is not visible when you smile? The general tendency is to ignore it.

However, any missing tooth can have a negative impact on your quality of life, and obviously on your oral health. When we chew with a healthy tooth it strengthens the quality of the bone, just as exercise protects against bone loss. In addition, when a tooth is missing, healthy teeth tend to shift position into the empty space due to the loss of dental bone, which affects the occlusion of the upper and lower teeth.

This can affect how we exert pressure on the teeth when chewing and as a consequence have an impact on the surrounding joints and muscles, causing pain and other symptoms such as headaches or migraines. Each tooth therefore plays an important role in ensuring that adjacent teeth remain aligned and in maintaining the health of the jawbone.

How do we restore a tooth?

A ceramic crown can restore any destroyed or damaged tooth. It is individually manufactured to match the shade and contour of the natural teeth, so that the difference is imperceptible.

1. Restoration of a damaged tooth: Crown on a natural tooth. In these cases, the tooth is sufficiently carved so that the dental crown can be placed on top of it. This provides a strong natural base for the new crown.
2. Replacement of a tooth. Crown on implants. If you are missing only one tooth, including the root, a dental crown is usually the best option. This method does not compromise the health of the rest of the adjacent healthy teeth.

In the case of having to replace several teeth or if you are afraid of the dentist, at IMOI clinics we are experts in painless dental treatments with conscious sedation. Find out more about these techniques or ask us in the site chat.

Dental implants offer numerous advantages

1. Dental implants have been recognized for over 40 years by dental professionals as the most successful and reliable tooth replacement method used to date.
2. They act as a natural tooth root. You will notice the difference.
3. They are made of biocompatible materials. As a result, your body tolerates them correctly.
4. Your implants can last a lifetime with proper care and good oral hygiene.
5. They are minimally invasive. Adjacent healthy teeth remain intact, because, in contrast to conventional bridges, they do not need to be ground down.
6. They maintain natural bone, stimulate bone growth and stop bone loss. This is one of the most important advantages.
7. Provide stability and comfort with no adjustments after placement
