5 September 2026 · Loose teeth & dentures
Teeth that move do not automatically mean extractions, but they should not be ignored either. We explain how we assess bone, gums, and realistic chances of saving them.
A loose tooth can have several causes: periodontitis, infection, trauma, or an old crown that no longer protects as it should. Each situation needs a separate evaluation.
Sometimes the tooth can be stabilised with periodontal treatment, subgingival cleaning, and careful follow-up. Other times, mobility shows that too much bone has been lost and saving it is no longer realistic.
Important: delaying does not make the tooth more stable. Infection can progress, and extraction can become harder. A clear, staged plan tells you what is worth trying and how long it makes sense to wait.
This article is educational; an individual consultation establishes the diagnosis and treatment plan.
Consultation & treatment plan ↗Do not turn an article into a self-diagnosis. At the consultation we examine you clinically and review the images, then discuss your options.
The next step is a clear consultation, not a diagnosis guessed from an article.
