Stabilizing Loose Teeth

Teeth can become loose for several reasons: Traumatic injuries, severe periodontal disease, or tooth grinding. In many cases, those problems become terminal, and the loose teeth have to be removed.

We can stabilize teeth and increase their lifespan. If we can anchor loose teeth successfully, and treat the source of the loose teeth, those questionable teeth can survive longer.

One method is splinting. We can unite or bond several teeth together. We can use metal wires or non-metallic fibers to unite the teeth with adhesive dentistry.




We also make clear acrylic splints called biteguards so you can reduce the traumatic forces of grinding.



Combining splinting with treatments for bite problems or treating periodontal disease can prevent premature tooth loss.
