CUSPIDS

A cuspid is a pointed tooth in the front of your mouth. If you lose a cuspid, it can be replaced with a dental prosthesis. A dental prosthesis is an artificial tooth or teeth that are made to look and feel like natural teeth. There are several types of dental prostheses, including crowns, bridges, and dentures.

If you are missing one or more cuspids, you may need a dental prosthesis to replace them. A dental prosthesis can restore the function and appearance of your teeth. It can also help keep your mouth healthy by preventing other teeth from shifting out of place.

If you are considering a dental prosthesis, be sure to talk to your dentist about your options. He or she can help you choose the best type of prosthesis for your needs.
