Missing teeth can affect not only your smile but also your ability to chew, speak clearly, and maintain facial structure. At Uluwatu Dental Care, our prosthodontist specializes in restoring missing teeth using a range of customized solutions.
Dental Implants: The Gold Standard
Implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, acting like natural tooth roots. Once integrated, they support crowns, bridges, or full‑arch prostheses. Benefits include long‑term durability, preservation of bone density, and a feel indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Fixed Bridges: A Conservative Alternative
When adjacent teeth are healthy, a bridge can replace a missing tooth by anchoring a prosthetic crown between two existing teeth. Modern bridges use porcelain fused to metal or all‑ceramic materials for a natural appearance.
Removable Dentures: Comfort and Flexibility
For multiple missing teeth, especially when bone loss is significant, removable dentures provide a cost‑effective solution. Advances in denture technology, such as implant‑supported overdentures, improve stability and comfort.
Choosing the Right Treatment
Factors influencing the best option include:
- Bone health and quantity
- Overall oral hygiene
- Budget and insurance coverage
- Personal aesthetic goals
During your free consultation, we will conduct a thorough examination, discuss your lifestyle, and present a treatment plan tailored to you.
Recovery and Aftercare
Implant surgery typically requires a healing period of 2‑4 months before the final restoration is placed. Proper oral hygiene, regular follow‑up visits, and avoiding hard foods during the initial healing phase are essential for success.
