Missing Teeth, What Are The Solutions?

Here is what we can do for you.

We’re in the business of saving teeth long before we replace missing teeth. Unfortunately sometimes a severely decayed or broken tooth is beyond saving or restoration.

In those cases do not worry, we have solutions for you.

Option 1: Dental Implants

Dental Implants are the gold standard for missing teeth replacement and are the next best thing to your natural teeth. But what are they? An implant  integrates with the surrounding bone, in order to set a crown or bridges. Once placed on the implant (via a “peg” called an abutment), it will look completely natural.

How can Dental Implants improve your daily life?

In some situations, the loss of a tooth may occur and it is important to address that issue as swiftly as possible. The main goal is to prevent he adjacent teeth shifting from their current positions. Leaving an empty space in your mouth for too long after losing a tooth can cause your teeth to move. This could lead you to have misaligned tooth and severe occlusion problems on the long run.

Option 2: All in 4 or all in 6 Bridges

In cases of missing teeth replacements, we provide all in 4 or 6 bridges as a solution.
A bridge is when the two teeth on either side of a space receive crowns, and then a replacement tooth, or “pontic,” is added in between to fill the space.

Option 3: Removable appliances (Dentures)

For tooth replacement, removable appliances are ideally the last option. A partial (short for a partial denture), is something that you wear during the day but take out at night. There are different varieties based on the type of material, but they all have the same basic pros and cons.
