Splinting of teeth is a dental procedure used to stabilize loose or mobile teeth that have lost their normal support due to gum disease, trauma, or bone loss. It involves joining weak teeth together using a splint — a thin, strong material such as fiber-reinforced composite or metal wire — to distribute biting forces evenly across the teeth. This helps reduce tooth mobility, provides comfort while chewing, and allows the surrounding tissues and ligaments to heal. Splinting not only strengthens the affected teeth but also prevents their premature loss, helping to preserve your natural smile and oral function.
