Tooth Replacement Options
If you are missing one or more teeth, we here at Beautiful Smiles Dental can provide different options for improving your smile.Here are a few options:
Replacing Several Missing Teeth
Option 1: Implant - Supported Bridges
Dental implants may be used to support a bridge when several teeth are missing. The bridge replaces the lost natural teeth and some of the tooth roots. An implant-supported bridge does not require support from the adjacent teeth.
Option 2: Fixed Bridges
A fixed bridge can be attached to your natural teeth. Adjacent teeth are prepared for crowns that will serve as abutments for the bridge. Fixed bridges can be used in all areas of the mouth, including areas that are involved in heavy chewing.
Option 3: Partial Dentures
A partial denture, sometimes called a removable bridge, can be taken out of the mouth for cleaning and at night while sleeping. It usually has replacement teeth attached to gum-colored plastic bases that are connected by metal framework.
