Teeth are arguably the most important part of the smile. They give our faces structure aesthetically, and without them, we suffer in both form and function. Nobody knows this better than individuals suffering from tooth loss. Fortunately, advances in modern dentistry have afforded patients a multitude of options to replace their teeth and restore their smiles.
Find Reliable Relief from Tooth Loss with Dental Implants
Dental Implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. No other option is as effective long-term in such a wide variety of applications.
The titanium implant post, with its biocompatible qualities, is the most comprehensive and complete option to replace a missing tooth. The post acts as a tooth root, preserving jaw structure and supporting a variety of restorations. Crowns, bridges, and dentures alike can be enhanced with the support of dental implants.
A dental implant procedure is a straightforward, highly-successful endeavor. Patients need only have adequate bone-mass to support the post. Titanium is a biocompatible material that will integrate securely into the jaw bone with time. This is a large part of what makes the dental implant method so successful.
Choose Dentures to Replace an Entire Arch of Missing Teeth
It’s common for aging individuals to experience tooth loss at a rapid rate. This is due to the increased development of gum disease among individuals with weaker immune systems, as well as dry mouth being a side-effect of many medications. This, combined with daily tobacco use among older generations, makes for a prime recipe for tooth loss.
It’s important to replace missing teeth and return ones’ smile to working order as soon as possible. Dentures provide the ability for a patient to chew, speak and smile once more. Dentures can replace up to a full arch of teeth, and they come in partial sets as well. These quick replacement options are very cost effective compared to other methods, making them attractive to the retired population.
Bridge the Gap from Lost Teeth with Dental Bridges
If you’ve lost up to three consecutive teeth, choose a dental bridge as your tooth replacement option. Bridges affix themselves to neighboring teeth to hold the replacement tooth in line. This option requires remaining teeth be minimally prepared to accommodate the attachment crown.
A bridge is an excellent option for replacing the front teeth. Bridges are made of beautiful, life-like porcelain that will give a smile a full and healthy appearance.
