Splinting is a dental procedure used to stabilize loose or weakened teeth by connecting them to adjacent teeth. This technique is commonly performed to treat teeth that have become mobile due to gum disease, trauma, or loss of supporting bone. By splinting the teeth together, we help restore function, improve comfort, and prevent further damage to your oral structures.

No, splinting is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia if needed, ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
Temporary splints typically last a few months, while permanent splints can provide stability for years with proper care.
Splinting can be temporary or permanent depending on the underlying condition. In some cases, further treatment like gum therapy or implants may be required.
