Replacing or adding a new tooth to a denture or implant prosthesis is necessary to address missing or damaged teeth. This procedure involves fabricating and attaching a new tooth to the existing prosthesis using materials like acrylic or porcelain. Proper alignment ensures the restoration remains functional and aesthetically pleasing, improving chewing efficiency and enhancing the appearance of the smile. Adding or replacing teeth is particularly useful for restoring occlusion and preventing shifting of adjacent teeth.
Restoring chewing efficiency and enhancing the appearance of the smile improves the patient’s overall oral health and quality of life. By addressing missing or damaged teeth, the procedure prevents complications such as displacement or discomfort, ensuring the prosthesis remains stable and comfortable. Additionally, it enhances the durability of the restoration, ensuring it remains functional and aesthetically pleasing over time. By addressing retention issues, the procedure prevents complications such as discomfort or failure, ensuring long-term success.
Ensure proper alignment and occlusion to avoid premature wear or discomfort. Use advanced bonding techniques to ensure a strong and durable bond, reducing the risk of debonding or failure. Verify the fit and margins of the new tooth to ensure it does not interfere with the patient’s bite or cause discomfort. Educate the patient on proper care and maintenance of the denture, emphasizing the importance of avoiding hard or sticky foods that could damage it.
