Which of the Following Is an Example of a Major Dental Service?
By Dr. Eastwood – Summerbrook Dental & Implants, Fort Worth, TX
When we talk about major dental services, we’re referring to treatments that go beyond simple care like cleanings or fillings. These services are usually more complex, take more time, and may involve rebuilding or replacing teeth. So, if you’re wondering what counts as a major dental service — here’s a clear example:
A dental crown is one example, but a better and more complete example of a major dental service is a dental implant.
A dental implant is used to replace a missing tooth from the root up. It involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, letting it heal, and then attaching a natural-looking crown on top. This process restores function, strength, and appearance, making it feel like you have your real tooth back. It’s a long-term solution and one of the most reliable ways to replace a missing tooth.
Other examples of major dental services include:
-
Bridges to replace multiple missing teeth
-
Dentures, both full and partial
-
Root canals to treat infected teeth
-
Oral surgeries, like bone grafts or sinus lifts
-
Full-mouth reconstructions, often using All-on-4 implants
