Dr Darrell guides patients through dentures, bridges, and dental implants in an easy to understand way using real-life examples as reference. ## About The Video A broken front tooth can be distressing, both functionally and aesthetically. When a tooth fracture extends below the gum line, there is not enough healthy structure left to support a filling or crown securely. In such cases, the tooth will be considered as non-restorable, and tooth extraction is often becomes the only viable option. After tooth removal, patients must decide how to replace the missing tooth. Removable dentures are simple and cost-effective but may feel inconvenient. [Dental Bridges](https://www.dentaldesigns.com.sg/en-sg/services/dental-bridges) offer strong and long-lasting results but involve trimming neighbouring healthy teeth, which is sometimes not ideal. [Dental implants](https://www.dentaldesigns.com.sg/en-sg/services/dental-implants), placed directly into the bone, provide a natural-looking and independent replacement without affecting other teeth. Although they involve surgery and a healing period, implants are often a good choice when suitable. Ultimately, the solution depends on your individual bone condition, your lifestyle, budget, and preference. Dr Darrell from [Dental Designs Clinic](https://www.dentaldesigns.com.sg/en-sg) shares the story of a patient who fractured a front tooth in a cycling accident. Deepen your understanding on why some broken teeth cannot be repaired with fillings or crowns particularly when the fracture extends too deep into the gum. By using illustrations and simple comparisons, Dr Darrell clarifies why such teeth are considered non-restorable and why extraction of that tooth becomes necessary. The video from our Before & Beyond series, also introduces replacement options once a tooth has to be removed. These options include removable **[dentures](https://www.dentaldesigns.com.sg/en-sg/services/dentures)**, **[dental bridges](https://www.dentaldesigns.com.sg/en-sg/services/dental-bridges), **and **[dental implants](https://www.dentaldesigns.com.sg/en-sg/services/dental-implants), **each of which have thier own unique pros and cons. Dental implants help preserve neighbouring teeth, while dentures and bridges may involve compromises in that regard. Many factors need to be considered to assess what treatment may suit different situations,and the right choice depends on individual needs and practical considerations.
