There are multiple options to replace missing teeth, one of the best options are implants, a titanium screw that is integrated into the jawbone to stabilize the area. Once the bone heals and grows around the implant, the next step is to fill the space using a natural looking porcelain crown. If one has a missing tooth, it is crucial to act fast as teeth can gradually shift causing bone loss. Implants are an aesthetic and permanent way to improve the appearance of one’s smile thus increasing one’s overall confidence. The best part about dental implants is that they look and feel like your own teeth without letting anyone know you underwent treatment.
Other options for replacing missing teeth includes dentures, a removal piece that attaches to adjacent teeth and bridges, which shape the tooth next to it and fits over them. However, a high quality implant is the most efficient way to restore a tooth. Like a natural tooth implants are anchored into the bone allowing for chewing and speaking as normal. Unlike bridges which alter the teeth next to the space, implants leave the teeth intact and allow for better access to maintain oral hygiene and home care.
