When damage occurs, we take every possible measure to repair the damage to restore a tooth\u2019s function and appearance. However, there are times when teeth can\u2019t be saved. This is known as terminal dentition<\/a>. When teeth can no longer be restored, your Putnam dentist will recommend your teeth are extracted and dental prosthetics are used to restore your oral function.\r\n\r\n

What is Terminal Dentition?<\/h2>\r\nTerminal dentition most often occurs when teeth have become too severely damaged from tooth decay or periodontal disease. There are many signs that this may be occurring, such as if the gums have begun to recede severely, bleed, or suffer from extreme inflammation or infection. Often, the teeth may have begun to shift out of place, becoming loose and even falling out.\r\n\r\nHowever, the condition can occur for other reasons as well, such as cracked teeth. When this occurs, you\u2019re likely to experience pain when biting or chewing. In some cases, you may have constant bad breath, which is often due to an infection or decay. No matter the cause, it\u2019s important to your oral health and function to have severely damaged teeth removed when they can no longer be repaired.\r\n\r\nIf you have severely damaged teeth that can\u2019t be restored, your oral and overall health will be impacted. Unhealthy teeth not only cause discomfort, but can lead to infections, dental decay, and advanced gum disease.\r\n

Treating Terminal Dentition<\/h2>\r\nIn order to treat terminal dentition, your Putman dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine a treatment plan. Using digital x-rays and other imaging tools, your mouth will be scanned to analyze the scope of damage and the health of your jaw bone. Using oral impressions, your dentist is able to create a treatment plan using prosthetic teeth, such as dentures or dental implants.\r\n\r\nBefore you can receive prosthetic teeth to restore oral health and function, your teeth will first need to be extracted. After your teeth have been extracted and you\u2019ve fully healed, the restoration process will begin. Depending on the tooth replacement option you\u2019ve chosen, your restoration process will differ.\r\n\r\nFor those who choose dentures, you\u2019ll have impressions and images taken of your mouth. These are then sent to a lab to create a custom set of dentures. For those who have healthy gums and adequate bone density, you may be a candidate for dental implants<\/a>. Dental implants will require surgery to implant titanium posts, which will support the prosthetic teeth.\r\n
