How do you replace missing teeth?
At City Family Dental, we offer complete tooth replacement services. These include traditional bridges, dentures, partial dentures, as well as crowns and bridges supported by dental implants. A dental bridge is ideal for replacing a single tooth or a few teeth in a row. Partial dentures can replace individual teeth, multiple teeth, or several missing teeth scattered throughout the mouth. Conventional removable dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while full dentures replace the entire set of teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. For patients who need a complete smile restoration, dental implants offer a permanent and effective solution.
How do you replace teeth with a bridge versus dentures?
Bridges and dentures differ in how they are supported or stabilized in the mouth. A bridge relies on the neighboring teeth for support. It consists of one or more artificial teeth along with two dental crowns. These crowns are placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap and anchor the bridge securely. Partial dentures also depend on nearby teeth. They are held in place by clasps or other attachments that connect to the surrounding teeth. Dentures, on the other hand, are held in place by a proper fit that conforms to the gum tissue, relying on natural suction to stay in place.
How do conventional dentures compare to implant-supported ones?
Implant-supported dentures offer many benefits over traditional dentures. The implant functions as a tooth root, with each post made of biocompatible materials like titanium. The implant is inserted into the jawbone, where it fuses naturally with the surrounding bone. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, the artificial tooth or denture is attached to the implant. For patients missing several or all of their teeth, a denture can be supported by as few as four to six implants, ensuring long-lasting stability and comfort.
What are the benefits of partials and dentures?
Partials and conventional dentures are an affordable solution for replacing missing teeth. They restore confidence in your appearance and self-esteem while improving your ability to chew and speak. While implants may have a higher upfront cost, they are designed to last a lifetime. Implants also help preserve the bone structure in the jaw, preventing bone loss that often follows tooth extraction. When considering tooth replacement options, it’s important to weigh your budget, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
