Posterior tooth replacement focuses on replacing missing back teeth, which are essential for chewing and maintaining proper oral function. When teeth are lost, they can be replaced using dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures to restore both function and appearance.

Dental implants are a popular choice for replacing posterior teeth as they provide a durable, long-lasting solution. Implants are placed in the jawbone and act as artificial tooth roots to support a crown, bridge, or denture.

Bridges and partial dentures are also commonly used for posterior tooth replacement, providing a less invasive option for patients who may not be suitable candidates for implants. Both options fill the gaps left by missing teeth, improving the patient’s ability to chew and speak.

By restoring missing posterior teeth, patients can regain full dental function and prevent further complications like bite misalignment or tooth shifting.
