Your natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime, however, in some cases, unforseen happenings mean that the life of teeth is limited.
Tooth damage
Tooth damage can be caused by gum disease ( periodontitis) decay, injury, or teeth can become fractured through an accident.
At Perfect Smile Dental Clinic in Hungary we believe that if teeth can be saved the extent of the restoration is carefully planned with your best interests at the forefront.
Here is a list of options to restore teeth in bad condition.
Fillings
Fillings are used by dentists all over the world, fillings are a very common method to repair teeth in bad condition.
The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, a cavity is created and is replaced by a filling.
The filling is a replacement for the entire cavity, the filling seals off that section and stops any further damage.
Fillings consist of several materials that include:
Silver amalgam, this material is durable, easy to apply, not expensive but they can be easily seen.
Porcelain or composite resin fillings may not last as long as silver amalgam, however they are typically the same colour as natural teeth and are barely noticeable.
Porcelian or composite resin fillings are commonly used for teeth that are in bad condition.
Using crowns for teeth in bad condition
One of the better but more expensive options is using dental crowns for teeth in bad condition.
Our Hungarian Dentists can advise you whether or not dental crowns are suitable for your teeth.

If teeth are substantially decayed or are severely fractured dental crowns are the preferred choice.
Dental crowns are custom built in our state-of-the-art dental laboratory in Perfect Smile Hungary to exactly match your teeths natural colour.
Dental crowns for specific teeth in bad condition are virtually an exact match for natural teeth, they look amazing and should be considered.

Dental bridge
A dental bridge is an artificial bridge the gap treatment that is used by our experienced dentists at Perfect Smile Dental Clinic in Hungary.
Basically the dental bridge covers or bridges the gap that is there after teeth are missing, the adjacent teeth on either side are used to anchor the dental bridge.
A prosthetic set of new teeth are attached or anchored to the dental bridge to take the place of the missing teeth.
Depending on the number of teeth that are missing and their location will determine what type of bridge is used.
There are two types of dental bridges, teeth supported fixed dental bridge, or resin bonded bridge.
In a case where a teeth supported bridge is utilized the anchor teeth need to be ground down.
This process means that the crowns holding the bridge can be fixed securely over the natural tooth.
A resin bonded bridge contains bonding wings made from porcelain or metal, their function is to anchor the teeth securely.
Resin bonded bridges for teeth that are in bad condition are favoured over removable partial dentures.
The one principal drawback is they won’t last nearly as long as dental implants.

Dental implants for teeth in bad condition
At Perfect Smile Dental Clinic Hungary our staff don’t like to extract teeth unless they are completely unsalvagable.
If we do extract teeth for that reason, we highly recommend dental implants for teeth in bad condition that are extracted.
Dental implants are the most successful long term solution to the problem of missing teeth, they offer a whole range of benefits.
For example, they replace the tooth root, this means that concerns about facial changes due to teeth missing or bone detoriation are eliminated.
Once our surgeon has put the artificial root into the socket a dental crown is put in place to replace the part of tooth that is visible.
In addition dental implants for teeth that are in bad enough condition to be extracted are so like real teeth in appearance it’s hard to tell the difference.
Another good reason to get dental implants is the fact that they stimulate the jawbone.
Composite bonding
Composite bonding is a treatment for teeth in bad condition that involves using a composite or porcelain resin that is dyed to match the colour of your own teeth.
Composite bonding is mainly used to restore chipped or broken teeth, a periodontist will apply the material to the chipped or broken teeth.
It will then be shaped and moulded until the correct looks natural.
Composite bonding is used for teeth in bad condition because of chipping, cracking, or it can be used where a part of the tooth has come off.
Bonding by compositing can be achieved in one visit to the clinic, no need for follow up visits, this treatment is probably the least expensive for teeth in bad condition.
Dentures for teeth in bad condition
A more short term and less expensive option are dentures forcteeth in bad condition.
Having said that many patients complain that dentures move when they speak, or clicking noises can be heard when they cough, eat or laugh.
We have read reports of some patients swallowing their dentures during sleep or eating.
Veneers
Veneers are popular because they greatly enhance one’s Smile, they can cost a lot of money.
This type of treatment for teeth that are in bad condition applies where teeth are stained, chipped or gapped.
The treatment is irreversible meaning that one has to be really confident that the treatment is the correct one for you.
Veneers are quite thin pieces of porcelain that are made to fit in our dental laboratory in Hungary.
Our experienced dentists bond the veneers to your natural teeth, they are custom made to look so natural as well as being strong and resilient.

Overdenture
An overdenture has some advantages compared to traditional dentures, it is attached to dental implants.
A traditional denture sits on top of the tissue of the upper and lower jaws (gingiva).
The overdenture is more beneficial for the jawbone, it’s more stable, and they work much better when eating your favourite foods.
An overdenture is designed to snap on to the dental implants, they are suitable for both the upper and lower arches.
In practise they are used more frequently for the lower arch by comparison to traditional dentures because of their stability.
Overdentures do require adequate support so at least two implants are required to hold them.
Similiar to traditional dentures overdentures need daily removal and cleaning, so overall an overdenture could be an option for teeth that are in bad condition.
