If you have any lost or missing teeth, it’s a good idea to have them replaced with a highly effective tooth restoration and replacement that can easily complete your smile once more. Not only can it make you look younger, but it can also reverse numerous ailments with your smile that may be associated with missing teeth, and also restore essential functions to your mouth once more. Consider dentures for your tooth replacement needs.

Dentures are reliable tooth prosthetics because they can effectively replace missing or lost teeth with replacements that can be removed as needed. They can even be custom craft and designed for as little as a single tooth, known as partial dentures, or for entire rows of teeth known as complete dentures. Modern prosthodontics also ensures that they will fit comfortably and provide your smile with the oral aesthetics it desires. A complete smile will be visually impressive and restore lost functions back to your teeth.

When caring for your dentures, it is important to make sure they are taken out for easy cleaning. However, handle them with care as they can easily break into hands or if you drop them. Never set them on the counter as they can easily dry out and crack. Furthermore, soak them in a denture-cleaning solution that is safe and effective and free of abrasive products such as teeth whiteners, bleach, or hot water. Always make sure to clean off your dentures before inserting them back into your mouth. If any damage should arise, bring them to your dentist for the proper restorations.

A dental bridge in Northport, New York, can help you in many different ways. In fact, it can help you chew and speak again, restore your smile, preserve the shape of your face, prevent remaining natural teeth from drifting out of place, add force to your bite, enhance your smile, and boost your oral health.

This tooth-replacement option is a beautiful and reliable substitute tooth that is fused to a dental crown on each side. When it is placed in your mouth, it will anchor to the surrounding teeth and fill the space in your mouth without the need for surgery.

The process of placing a dental bridge typically requires two appointments. First, our dentist will numb your mouth so you don’t have any discomfort during your visit. Then, they will shave a portion of the neighboring teeth so the bridge can anchor to them. When your teeth are ready, your dentist will make an impression of the area and will send that impression to a professional dental lab. There, lab technicians will create your new bridge. While you wait, your dentist will cover the neighboring teeth with temporary dental crowns so you can use them until your next appointment.

When your new dental bridge is made and ready, you will come back into Northport Prosthodontics to get it placed. During this appointment, our dental team will cement the bridge over the teeth and will make sure it gives you the smile you’re looking for.

Call Northport Prosthodontics today at 631-262-0644 if you have any questions or if you would like to see if a dental bridge is right for you. Our dental team will be excited to talk with you and help you schedule an appointment so you can meet with Dr. John Poulos or Dr. Jaime Poulos about the possibility of replacing your missing teeth.
