They can...: But it's a temporary fix. Let's face it, once your teeth are "wobbly", it's only a matter of time before they need to be extracted. Before dental implants became the standard of care, many techniques were tried. Nowadays, many practitioners rely on implants to replace teeth that have a poor prognosis. Each case is different, so ask your dentist what is best for you.

Splinting teeth: Splinting loose teeth together is generally a short term and temporary fix for loose teeth. It's important to see a Periodontist and a General Dentist/Prosthodontist for a better long term solution.
