What Are the Tooth Replacement Options?
The top three different tooth replacement options include: dental implants, dental bridges, and removable dentures. Based on your initial consultation, Dr. Kontos will recommend the tooth replacement option that’s best for you and your needs.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is an artificial tooth that “bridges the gap” caused by missing teeth.It’sheld in place by anchoring to your surrounding natural teeth with the help of supportive dental crowns. Bridges are a popular choice among patients as it’s a cost efficient option and the procedure is typically quick and painless.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a great option because they can restore any number of teeth, providing full functionality and a natural appearance. They’re permanently placed into the jawbone and beautiful dental crowns are placed on top for an improved look. . Patients often choose dental implants because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth and can be taken care of just the same. When taken care of correctly, implants can last patients a lifetime.
Removable Dentures
Removable dentures are custom-made to fit in your mouth comfortably and color-matched with your remaining natural teeth so they blend seamlessly into your smile. Some patients prefer this option because it requires no procedure for placement. Removable dentures are an excellent choice for patients looking for an affordable option.
