Life can be unpredictable.
As a result of this unpredictability, many people may find that as time goes on, they lose teeth due to illness, decay or trauma.
The end result? People who are self-conscious about their smiles, or whose dental situation stops them enjoying the foods they want to eat. Not exactly fun!
If you are one of the many people who has lost multiple teeth, you will be pleased to learn that, thanks to advances in dental techniques, there is now a way to restore your smile’s looks (and maybe even improve them), while also helping you regain complete functionality.

So, you will leave your appointment with us feeling a boost in your confidence and pride in your smile. Perfect!
But what are some of the benefits of this type of cosmetic dentistry in Kew, Melbourne? Read on to find out!
Speech
Many people are unaware of the impact missing teeth in your mouth can have on your speech patterns; even misaligned teeth can cause your vocal patterns to be less than clear.
And so, when you visit Dr Kirthi Kosalram (Dentist) at Melbourne East Prosthodontics, she will assess the most suited prosthetics that can fill in any gaps, allowing your tongue to move correctly and your speech to improve.
Chewing
With all this talk of cosmetic dentistry in Kew, Melbourne, it is easy to overlook what teeth are actually designed for; biting, chewing and grinding food.
And if you have a few missing teeth, it is unlikely that you are able to bite into food correctly or you may have issues with chewing. A full mouth rehabilitation can replace lost teeth with dental implants, allowing your mouth to work as it was designed to. And with a stronger bite, you can eat a wider range of foods too!
Sleep
Teeth that are misaligned or have gaps have a higher chance of being ground together during the night.
Called nocturnal bruxism, this disorder can impinge on a good night’s sleep, and cause you to wake up with a sore neck, jaw and even a migraine! Yikes! Correcting misaligned teeth with adult orthodontics, or filling a gap with an implant will drastically reduce the incidence of nocturnal grinding, ensuring that you get those all-important 40 winks needed to get through the day.
Health
Generally, having dental implants fitted, or wearing an adult aligner will reduce the likelihood of any areas in the mouth being missed when you brush your teeth. Ergo, there will be a reduction in plaque and bacteria, which cannot then seep into your bloodstream.
As dental plaque has been linked to cardiovascular conditions, diabetes and even cancer, having a full mouth rehabilitation can actually promote long-term oral and general health, making it a cosmetic procedure that’s worth having! Brilliant!
