Tooth splinting

Tooth splinting at Gallant Clinic is a method of stabilising and strengthening teeth that have increased mobility due to gum diseases, injuries, or other pathologies. Splinting helps preserve teeth, reduce their mobility, and prevent tooth loss. Our experienced dentists use modern techniques and materials for effective tooth splinting, ensuring maximum patient comfort and long-lasting results.

Advantages of tooth splinting at Gallant Dental Clinic:

High effectiveness: Splinting provides reliable stabilisation of mobile teeth.

Tooth preservation: Helps save teeth that might otherwise be lost due to mobility.

Painless procedure: The splinting process is performed using modern methods and anesthetics to ensure comfortable and pain-free treatment.

Aesthetic: Use of modern materials ensures the splint is nearly invisible on the teeth.

Individual approach: Treatment is carried out considering the individual needs and health condition of the patient.

Indications for tooth splinting:

• Increased tooth mobility due to periodontitis or other gum diseases
• Tooth injuries that have caused mobility
• After orthodontic treatment to stabilise teeth
• Preparation for dental prosthetics

The tooth splinting procedure includes the following steps:

Dentist consultation

The first stage includes a detailed examination of the oral cavity, assessment of the condition of the teeth and gums, and determination of the need for splinting. The doctor discusses possible treatment options with the patient and develops an individual plan.

Tooth preparation

Cleaning teeth from plaque and tartar, performing necessary treatment procedures to reduce inflammation and prepare the teeth for splinting.

Selection and preparation of the splint

Choosing the appropriate material for the splint (fiberglass tape, metal splint, or composite material) and preparing the splint for installation.

Splint placement

Fixing the splint on mobile teeth using a special adhesive. Shaping the splint so that it is as invisible and comfortable for the patient as possible.

Checking and adjustment

Checking the bite and adjusting the splint to ensure proper tooth positioning and maximum comfort for the patient.

Post-procedure care:

Proper oral hygiene: Regular tooth brushing using a soft toothbrush and safe toothpaste, with special attention to the area around the splint.

Avoiding excessive load: Avoid consuming very hard and sticky foods that can damage the splint.

Regular dental visits: Preventive check-ups to monitor the condition of the teeth and splint, timely detection, and treatment of possible complications.
