It is the part of dentistry that involves the rehabilitation of lost or damaged dental structures and restores the anatomy of one or more teeth returning the functionality and aesthetics of the patient´s dentition.
With tooth loss, the adjacent teeth tend to shift, causing chewing problems, making difficult an adequate nutrition, making proper oral hygiene difficult and, therefore, putting the patient at greater risk of getting diseases. For this reason, replacing teeth that have been lost is essential to maintain proper oral and general health.
The recovery of dental aesthetics is another reason to carry out this treatment.
