| How
Prosthodontics can help you |
At some stage in our lives, most people will lose a
tooth, through such things as gum disease, tooth decay and trauma.
This tooth loss places a great deal of strain on the rest of
the mouth, and eventually results in loss and degeneration of
the surrounding jawbone, and gum tissue. It also alters the
overall shape of the mouth and face.
Missing teeth can have a negative effect on your self-esteem,
and alter the way in which you deal with others. You may find
that you smile less, or that you feel awkward talking with
people. Modern Prosthodontics can improve both your appearance
and your self-confidence.
Until fairly recently, the only choices available for people
that were missing teeth, were either living with the missing
teeth, or replacing them with dentures or other non-permanent
appliances. Over time, these have proven to be uncomfortable
in speech, eating and general wearing.
For those who have lost most of their teeth in the upper
or lower jaw, the problems are even greater. Loose fitting
dentures compound problems and lead to sore gum tissue and
additional pain.
With Prosthodontics and Dr Christopher Smith, there are many
more choices available to you. Crown
and Bridgework and Dental
Implants are two of the most advanced dental procedures
available today. Read more about these two procedures to find
out how they can change your smile and your life!
