Missing or damaged teeth — when dental prosthetics is needed

Losing a tooth or a severely damaged tooth usually does not hurt right away, but chewing becomes uncomfortable. People start chewing on one side, food gets stuck, and nearby teeth take extra load.

Prosthetic treatment restores the tooth and chewing support. Depending on the situation the dentist may recommend a crown, bridge, removable denture or restoration on a dental implant.

Modern ways to restore a missing or damaged tooth

Before treatment the dentist checks the remaining teeth, gums and bone support and explains which tooth restoration option is safest and most predictable.

Signs you may need tooth restoration

• 1. A tooth is missing
• 2. A tooth is cracked or badly broken
• 3. You avoid chewing on one side
• 4. Food constantly gets stuck
• 5. Teeth shift toward the empty space
• 6. The tooth is worn down

Can a tooth be restored in adults

Modern prosthetic dentistry allows teeth to be restored at almost any age. The dentist evaluates the clinical situation, bite and supporting tissues and then explains which treatment options are possible.

Depending on the case, treatment may involve a crown, bridge, removable denture or implant-supported restoration. The dentist explains the advantages and limitations of each option so you can choose the most suitable solution.

After the examination the dentist evaluates the teeth and the bite and explains which tooth replacement option may be suitable: a crown, bridge, removable denture or restoration on dental implants. If needed, you may consult a dentist at the MasterDent clinic in Kyiv, where the doctor will assess your teeth and help choose the most appropriate way to restore chewing and function.
