Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are composed of two different types of restorations fused together, one that anchors the entire bridge within the mouth, and one that fills the gaps. The anchor is comprised of two dental crowns. These are fused between free-standing replacement teeth, called pontics, which act to fill the space in your arch left by anywhere between one and four consecutive missing teeth. Once secured, dental bridges can last for between five and 15 years with good maintenance and oral hygiene.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures are designed to restore an arch missing either several or all of its teeth. Partial dentures are specially designed to fill the various gaps in a row by anchoring a custom made prosthetic to the existing teeth in that arch, while full dentures are designed to fit securely over the gumline to restore an entire row of missing teeth. For a longer-lasting and more natural-feeling solution, dentures can be anchored within the mouth with dental implants.
Dental Implants
Today, dental implants are the gold standard treatment for replacing missing teeth, as they have the ability to prevent further consequences of tooth loss, like jawbone deterioration and declining oral health. This is because they’re the only procedure that restores the entire structure of missing teeth, including both the roots and the crowns. This allows them to not only look real, but also feel as though they’re completely natural, allowing you to smile with greater confidence and enjoy better oral function.
