one of the most fulfilling things about being a dentist is that i can improve someone's life by improving their smile. unfortunately, sometimes it's necessary to remove a tooth if it cannot be saved. this can happen for many reasons, including trauma, gum disease, etc.. this patient came to me with obvious concerns of loss of chewing function and being unhappy with his smile.
in general, there are three options for replacing missing teeth. they are:
without going into all the pros and cons, we decided the best option for this patient was a three-unit bridge. i am showing the before picture and a picture of the temporary bridge. these pictures were taken on the same day. as you can see, the aesthetics improved immediately. in roughly four weeks, we will have the final porcelain bridge, and i will share the post-operative photos. if you have a similar issue, please feel free to schedule a consult by calling 704.474.3152 or schedule an appointment on our website www.norwooddentalclinic.com
