- Teeth CleaningA -Good oral health care is vital during your pregnancy. Continue with your regular dental cleaning and check-ups to avoid oral infections that can affect the fetus, such as gingivitis and periodontal disease. Dentists recommend that major dental treatments that aren't urgent be postponed until after your child is born. The first trimester, the stage of pregnancy in which most of the baby's organs are formed, is the most crucial to your baby's development, so it is best to have procedures performed during the second trimester to minimize any potential risk.

- CrownsA fixed bridge is commonly cemented or bonded to the natural teeth next to the space left by the missing teeth. An artificial tooth (called a pontic) replaces the lost natural tooth, and restores its function. A pontic is attached to a crown (restoration that covers a tooth). Crowns, which are cemented on adjacent prepared teeth, serve as retainers that support the fixed bridge.
- BridgesA fixed bridge can be attached to your natural teeth. Different types of artificial teeth may be used in fixed bridges. These include gold, porcelain fused to metal, and all porcelain. In some instances, a resin-bonded fixed bridge (sometimes called a "Maryland Bridge") can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. Because it is attached by a special procedure called bonding, it doesn't require the use of crowns or extensive tooth preparation. Your dentist can determine whether this treatment method is appropriate for you.

- DenturesFirst, surgery is performed to place the dental implant. Up to six months may be required for the bone to grow around the dental implant to firmly hold it in place. In certain cases, dentists can use techniques that may allow immediate use of the dental implant. Some dental implants require a second surgery in which a post is attached to connect the replacement teeth. With other dental implants, the dental implant and post are one unit placed in the mouth during the initial surgery. After healing, the next step is begun. The replacement tooth is made and fitted to the post portion of the implant. Because several fittings may be required, this step can take one month or longer to complete. Dental Implant surgery can be done either in a dental office as an outpatient procedure or in a hospital, depending upon a number of factors. A local or general anesthetic may be used. Usually, pain medications and when necessary antibiotics are prescribed. Your dentist will give you instructions on diet and oral hygiene. Dental implants can provide replacement teeth that look natural and feel secure, and also can be used to support complete or partial dentures. It is possible to stabilize dentures and eliminate the need to remove them each day.
- Dental ImplantsDental Implants, however are not an option for everyone. Because implants require surgery, patients should be in good health overall and have healthy gums. Further, patients either must have adequate bone to support the dental implant, or be good candidates for surgery to build up the area needing the implant. Patients also should be committed to very thorough oral hygiene every day, and regular dental visits. If you are considering dental implants, a full evaluation by your dentist will help determine if you would be a good candidate.
