Dental Bridges
A dental bridge can be used to replace one, two, or three missing teeth in a row (any more usually requires a different restoration like a denture). Dental bridges consist of a row of lifelike replacement teeth situated between two dental crowns, which are placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap. However, in some cases, a dental implant might be used instead. These devices are designed to look, feel, and function as closely to your original teeth as possible.
Dentures
Dentures are maybe the most recognizable of all tooth loss solutions, having helped countless generations of patients. They are custom-made replacement teeth that are attached to a gum-colored base, which is stabilized using adhesives, natural suction, clips, and even dental implants depending on the patient’s circumstances. Dentures are highly customizable, making them a viable option for many who suffer from tooth loss.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are lauded as the gold standard of tooth replacement. They refer to small, biocompatible posts that can be surgically placed right into your jawbone, where they’ll begin fusing with it to replace the roots of your missing teeth. Once healed, a custom-made restoration can be attached on top.
