Depending on your suitability and circumstances, your dentist will suggest a dental implant/s, bridge, or removable dentures.
Dental implants have become a reliable and sought-after solution for individuals seeking a permanent and functional tooth replacement option. Once an implant is inserted, a crown is placed on top to complete the treatment.
Dental implants are not just used to replace individual teeth. When multiple teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge can be used to mimic the lost teeth effectively.
If all the teeth on your jawline need to be replaced, full-mouth dental implants perfectly mimic natural teeth in function and aesthetics. Unlike dentures, the custom-made prosthesis is permanently attached.
Dental bridges mimic multiple teeth, “bridging” the gap in your teeth. They are permanently secured in the mouth using dental crowns on your natural teeth at either side of the gap.
After replacing a missing tooth, dental function is effectively restored, enabling the individual to chew, speak, and bite easily and confidently. The replacement option, whether it’s a dental bridge, denture, or dental implant, ensures the person can maintain proper oral function and enjoy an improved quality of life.
Restored Function
A missing tooth can impair your ability to chew and speak properly. By replacing missing teeth, you can regain normal functionality and enjoy a complete set of teeth.
Bite Alignment
Gaps from lost teeth can cause adjacent teeth to shift into the space. This causes uneven wear on the remaining teeth, bite misalignment, and food to get caught in the new spaces.
Jawbone Preservation
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding jawbone shrinks over time, causing dental issues and a sunken facial appearance. By replacing missing teeth, you help preserve bone structure.
Aesthetics
Missing teeth can affect your smile and overall facial appearance. Replacing a missing tooth can improve your self-confidence and restore a natural, pleasing look to your smile.
Everyone’s oral situation is unique. While each treatment option has its advantages, we recommend you speak with a dentist who can advise which method is best for you!
