• Missing Teeth? What Are The Options For Tooth Replacement

1. Dental Implant
Dental Implants are replacements for your tooth roots. A Titanium post is placed in the bone and a crown is attached to the new root to replace the missing teeth.

2. A Bridge
A fixed bridge uses the adjacent teeth around the space to support a false tooth to replace the missing teeth.

3. Removable partial denture-metal framework
This is an appliance that is removable, has a metal framework with plastic teeth added to the framework and this uses the other teeth and gums for support.

4. Removable partial denture-plastic framework
This appliance is removable also, but the whole appliance is made of plastic and primarily uses the gums for support.

5. Dentures
This is replacement of all the teeth on either the top or bottom, or both.

6. Live without it or them.
It’s not the best choice but millions of people live with missing teeth. 

It’s always best to try to hang onto a tooth as long as possible, but sometimes it’s not possible, thankfully you have options to replace the missing teeth.
