Understanding Supraeruption

Supraeruption, or over-eruption, occurs when a tooth continues to emerge beyond its normal position due to the absence of an opposing tooth to provide contact and resistance. This condition can lead to various oral health issues, including bite misalignment, aesthetic concerns, and difficulties in chewing. South Gate Dental Clinic is dedicated to addressing supraeruption with effective treatments tailored to each patient's unique needs.

Causes and Consequences of Supraeruption

Missing Opposing Teeth: The most common cause, where the lack of an opposing tooth contact allows a tooth to drift out of alignment.
Wear and Tear: Natural or excessive wear can reduce tooth height, encouraging adjacent teeth to supraerupt.
Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can lead to tooth and bone loss, contributing to supraeruption.

Our Supraeruption Treatment Options

Restorative Solutions: Crowns or onlays can restore the tooth to its proper height and function, preventing further supraeruption.
Orthodontic Intervention: Braces or clear aligners can realign the supraerupted tooth and improve overall dental alignment.
Dental Implants or Bridges: To replace missing teeth and provide the necessary opposition to prevent supraeruption of adjacent teeth.
Occlusal Adjustment: Reshaping the biting surfaces of teeth to ensure even contact and distribution of force.
