Tooth splinting

Service Description

Tooth splinting is a dental procedure aimed at stabilizing mobile teeth by joining them into a single structure using special materials. This method is commonly used in cases of periodontal disease, increased tooth mobility, after trauma, as well as during orthodontic or comprehensive dental treatment. The main goal of tooth splinting is to evenly distribute chewing forces among the teeth and reduce pressure on weakened tissues. This decreases tooth mobility, lowers the risk of tooth loss, and creates favorable conditions for periodontal healing. The procedure is performed after a thorough diagnosis, which may include an examination, X-rays, and assessment of gum health. Glass fiber strips or special wires are most commonly used for splinting, fixed to the inner surfaces of the teeth with composite material. The resulting structure is strong, aesthetic, and nearly invisible. Tooth splinting is quick and painless, usually completed in a single visit. It does not interfere with speech, chewing, or daily care. Patients receive guidance on oral hygiene and routine preventive check-ups. Tooth splinting helps preserve natural teeth, improves everyday comfort, and is an important part of comprehensive treatment for periodontal disease.
