Naperville Dentist Educates Patients on Tooth Loss

    NAPERVILLE, IL, June 14, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- At Valley View Dental, Dr. Paul Singh, Naperville dentist, offers education and treatment options for patients who have lost one or more teeth. Today there are several options available for restoring a patient's smile when teeth are missing, including dental implants, dentures and bridges. Missing teeth make chewing difficult, cause problems speaking, and impact a person's sense of self-esteem.

When patients lose a tooth, or multiple teeth, visiting Valley View Dental for proper diagnosis and treatment is vital. With advancements in dentistry, Dr. Paul Singh and his team at Valley View Dental can replace missing teeth with Naperville dental implants, bridges or removable appliances such as dentures.

"It is important for our patients to understand their options so that they can continue smiling with confidence. Whether it is with dental implants or dental bridges, the end result is the same-a restored smile without gaps. I encourage my patients to visit Valley View Dental whenever they have a dental complication and to maintain a healthy smile with regular visits," said Dr. Paul Singh, Naperville, IL dentist.

Dental implants in Naperville are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jaw to replace lost teeth. A replacement tooth, called a crown, will be attached to the post, giving the appearance of a natural tooth. In cases where multiple teeth are missing, or all of a patient's teeth, dental implants can be used in conjunction with bridges or dentures to make sure these tooth replacements are secure.

Additionally, Valley View Dental may recommend a dental bridge as an appropriate tooth replacement option. Dental bridges get their name because they bridge the gap between the missing tooth or teeth and surrounding teeth. To place the bridge, Dr. Paul Singh, orthodontist in Naperville, will bond it onto the teeth that surround the gap caused by the missing teeth. Dental bridges can be made from an array of materials, including gold, alloys, and porcelain (with porcelain being the most popular choice). Bridges can also help maintain the shape of a patient's face and the integrity of their bite, and allow him or her to chew, speak, and smile with more ease and confidence.

Patients who have lost all or most of their teeth can benefit from dentures in Naperville. Complete dentures and overdentures are two common types of dentures used to replace missing teeth. Complete dentures are used when no teeth are remaining, or when the teeth that do remain need to be removed. These dentures cover both the upper and lower gums. If all of a patient's teeth are removed, the dentists at Valley View Dental will give a patient an immediate denture to wear until their gums have healed and a conventional denture can be custom designed.

If a patient is missing teeth, Dr. Paul Singh encourages them to visit Valley View Dental to discuss an appropriate treatment plan for restoring their smile. With an array of treatment options available, including dental implants, bridges and dentures, patients can smile and eat with confidence with the help of Valley View Dental.
