5 Options for Replacing a Missing Tooth When a tooth is missing, there are several options for replacing it. This presentation will discuss five options for replacing a missing tooth: dental implants, dentures, bridge, Dental crown, and Implant-supported Dentures.
Dental Implants Dental implants are a permanent fixture that replaces the root of the missing tooth with an artificial one made from titanium which is surgically implanted into the jawbone below the gum line. The implant then acts as an anchor for a replacement tooth to be placed on top of it. This type of replacement offers long-term stability and durability, allowing for normal chewing functions and natural looking results that last for decades.
Dentures are prosthetic devices made from acrylic resin or porcelain that fit over existing teeth or gums in place of missing ones. They come in full or partial sets and can be removable or fixed to implants or natural teeth with clips/bridges depending on individual needs. Dentures provide support to facial muscles and help maintain facial symmetry while also preserving your unique smile. • Dentures
Dental Bridge A bridge is a dental device used to replace missing teeth by filling the gap between two adjoining teeth with an artificial one fabricated from porcelain or metal alloys fused together at its ends called abutments which attach securely onto the remaining crowns of your existing teeth bridging them together overtop the gap created by your missing tooth to recreate the appearance of having a full set of healthy teeth again.. This type of prosthesis offers improved biting force and provides better oral hygiene than other alternatives thanks to its secure attachment methods ensuring it won't slip out during eating activities unlike dentures would do normally if not fitted correctly in first place .
Implant-supported Dentures Dentures with implants are different from regular dentures. Implant-supported dentures, as opposed to conventional dentures, are securely retained in place by dental implants that have been surgically inserted into your jaw. You may wear your dentures with ease everywhere and at any time thanks to this special mix of denture stability and natural dental strength! When your dentures are stable and secure, you can laugh, speak, and eat normally without worrying that you'll need to fix them or that they'll fall apart. For people who desire a beautiful and long-lasting smile without having to deal with routine denture maintenance, implant-supported dentures are the ideal tooth replacement option.
Dental Crowns If you have severe tooth decay or other dental issues, dental crowns can be the best dental treatment option for you. A dental crown is a long-lasting covering that completely encases the visible portion of the tooth, restoring both its structural integrity and aesthetic. A number of materials, including porcelain-fused-to-metal, ceramic, and gold alloys, can be used to create crowns. Depending on your requirements and financial situation, your dentist will consult with you to determine the appropriate kind of dental crown. Additionally supporting bridges and dental implants are dental crowns. Dental crowns provide a lovely finish and are built to survive because to modern advancements in dental technology, frequently lasting more than ten years! Make an appointment with your dentist to determine whether dental crowns are the appropriate choice for you.
