This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as shifts in the teeth’s alignment after additional teeth have been lost, or even shrinking of the jaw as one ages. Fortunately for patients seeking more comfortable and stylish prosthetic options, there are a number of ways to complete the smile both seamlessly and securely!
Consider the Many Benefits of A Dental Bridge
Many patients enjoy the benefits of dental bridges, when seeking to complete their smiles for the first time, or looking for a more stable alternative to existing unsupported dentures. That is because dental bridges help hold replacement teeth firmly in place, through the use of dental crowns, which can be affixed to remaining teeth, or even a dental implant, in order to stabilize a replacement tooth, including a partial denture.
Bridges are a relatively fast way to provide stability to a dental prostheses.
When Is a Dental Implant the Right Answer?
However, for added security and permanence, many dentists recommend dental implants, which create the most natural-feeling prostheses available. That is because only an implant relies on a titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawline, in order to mimic a healthy tooth root. Thereby creating a firm, and actually permanent, base on which a replacement tooth can be attached.
