Dental Bridges
When combining two dental crowns with one or more free-standing artificial teeth (pontics), you get what is known as a dental bridge. This prosthetic can fill in the gaps that exist along the top or bottom row. While the crowns are anchored to healthy natural teeth, the pontics sit atop the gums to create a lifelike appearance and a more confident smile. Also, you can expect to eat a wider array of foods and speak without worrying about an impediment getting in the way.
Dentures
There are two types of traditional dentures – full and partial. Both usually consist of an acrylic base and porcelain artificial teeth. A partial denture includes a metal framework and metal clasps, allowing the prosthetic to attach to healthy teeth for optimal stability. Full dentures need only natural suction and a small amount of denture adhesive. A third option is also available if you prefer a more stable and permanent option – implant dentures.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the only restorative solution that consists of small, titanium posts that extend into the jawbone, fuse with the surrounding tissues, and support a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. It delivers continuous stimulation to the underlying bone, which dental bridges and dentures cannot do. This full root-to-crown method of tooth replacement is deemed superior to all other forms of treatment and can last decades or a lifetime with the right level of care.
