What is Terminal Dentition?

As a dentist in Putnam, we do everything we can to ensure your teeth and gums stay as healthy as possible. When damage occurs, we take every possible measure to repair the damage to restore a tooth’s function and appearance. However, there are times when teeth can’t be saved. This is known as terminal dentition. When teeth can no longer be restored, your Putnam dentist will recommend your teeth are extracted and dental prosthetics are used to restore your oral function.
