Dental Bridges
A dental bridge does exactly what its name implies; it serves as a “bridge” to fill in the gap left by several missing teeth in a row. Typically, dental bridges rely on two crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap for support, with a row of replacement teeth in between. However, in certain cases, it might be suggested to support a dental bridge with dental implants placed beneath the gum line.
Dentures
Dentures are perhaps the most recognizable of all the solutions used to replace missing teeth. They consist of a base, often made from metal and/or acrylic, combined with realistic replacement teeth called pontics. They come in both partial and full varieties and can be used to restore one or both arches of teeth, and with the right care and routine maintenance, they have the potential to last for decades. Like bridges, dentures can also be supported with dental implant posts.
Removable Partial Dentures
Designed to fit comfortably around remaining existing teeth, these custom-made appliances restore oral function as well as improve the overall aesthetics of the smile. Plus, unlike fixed options, they can be easily removed for cleaning, making maintenance very simple. Whether you’ve lost a few of your teeth due to old age, injury, or decay, removable partials are a practical way to regain confidence in your smile while helping you enjoy everyday activities like eating and speaking.
Dental Implants
Dental implants refer to small, biocompatible posts that are surgically embedded beneath the gum line, directly into a patient’s jawbone. They fully replace the roots of lost teeth, allowing a custom-made dental restoration to be attached and receive full support and stability. Dental implants are considered one of the top tooth replacement solutions due to their impressive durability and tendency to last for decades; not to mention, their long list of practical, everyday benefits such as improved biting power and the prevention of bone loss.
