5 Different Ways That Helps To Replace Your Missing Tooth

1. 5 Different Ways That Helps To Replace Your Missing Tooth Losing a tooth can be excruciatingly painful. Aside from the physical discomfort, there is the emotional distress of a smile that is no longer ideal. People who have a missing tooth lose their confidence and, as a result, their natural grin. A missing tooth can be harmful to your health since it impairs your ability to chew and digest your food properly.

2. However, If you happen to lose a tooth, you have various options for replacing it. At Arrowhead, Dental implants Glendale AZ we offer five possible solutions to the problem. 1. Temporary Denture This is only a temporary fix. It’s known as a “flipper” since it can easily flip in and out with a simple flick of the tongue. When your waiting for the location of a lost tooth to heal and you want to get a bridge or possibly an implant later, this procedure is used. In appearance and feel, a temporary denture is similar to a detachable denture, although it is not as long-lasting. However, it’s not prohibitively pricey. Your dentist will not change any surrounding teeth when creating a “flipper”. 2. A daytime Denture This type of denture is removable. You put it on during the day and take it off at night. Though it can be used to replace many missing teeth, it’s not preferred for replacing missing front teeth. Why is this the case? To keep it firmly in your mouth, a metal clasp is occasionally employed. This shiny metal might be visible every time you speak or smile.

3. A daytime denture has the advantage of being more economical because you won’t need to file down or amend any other tooth. In a full-mouth restoration Glendale you can get a set of full dentures to replace all your lost teeth. 3. Bridge When a tooth is located between two adjacent teeth, a bridge provides a more permanent solution. It's cemented, so it’ll remain put in your mouth and won’t come out. It can replace more than one lost tooth, and in some cases an entire row if the bridge is well supported. However, there are a few drawbacks. To fit a bridge, the adjacent teeth, even if they are perfectly healthy, are ground down. The bridge on the other hand can achieve both if the tooth neighbouring the missing tooth requires a crown or has a cavity that needs to be filled. A bridge in your lower jaw may require special attention. The lower jaw bends to chew the food and this results in wear down or leak. To keep your bridge clean and bacteria-free, your dentists will recommend floss threaders. Slide these under the bridge and floss that area regularly.

4. 4. Dental Implant An implant is your best option, especially when replacing a gap, next to a tooth with painful caries that itself may need a crown. An implant has a more natural feel and appearance. Your dentist places an implant by drilling the root of the tooth, killing the root and allowing the region to recover. Once healed, an abutment is placed there. A crown is then cemented or screwed into the abutment. A major benefit of implant-supported dentures in Glendale is that all the other healthy teeth are not touched. When talking or smiling you won’t notice the implant because it looks just like a natural tooth. 5. Do Nothing Yes, do nothing. You always have this option too. When you lose a tooth just allow the bone to melt away. The teeth adjacent will move in to fill the void. Name - Arrowhead Prosthodontics & Dental Implants Website -https://arrowheadpros.com/
