In a recent blog, we mentioned that a dental bridge is a helpful tooth replacement option. This prosthetic can mimic up to three of your missing teeth in a row. All patients are different, though, which is why it is important to offer a variety of replacement options. Riverside Dental Group in California also offers dental implants which can address tooth loss and help support your jaw. In today’s blog, we’ll discuss how this option works and who it may be able to help.
Dental Implants Mimic Your Missing Tooth
A dental bridge can be used to address up to three missing teeth. This works by having crowns on the adjacent teeth to support the prosthetic. It can help improve your appearance by filling in the gap and may be able to improve your ability to chew and speak. However, it does not completely mimic your missing dental structure. The root of your tooth helps keep your dental structure in place and helps support your jaw. If you lose this, it can cause your jaw to weaken over time and other teeth may also be lost. Dental implants help prevent this by replacing your lost root with a titanium post. This post will fuse together with your jawbone to create a sturdy base for the replacement crown. As a result, you can have a complete smile again and the function of your oral cavity can be returned.
Improve Your Smile’s Function And Appearance
Tooth loss can have a negative impact on your life whether you have lost a single structure or multiple. By using a dental implant, you can feel secure in having a smile that will last longer. This sturdy option may be paired with a bridge, dentures, or a single crown to address your specific needs. This option can help a wide range of patients who are experiencing tooth loss. Before getting started, you will have a consultation with your dentist to go over your oral health and previous health history. It’s important that you have healthy gums and a stable jaw before starting this process. Once approved for this method, an appointment will be made to have the post surgically inserted. After this, a resting period will be required before adding the abutment and crown.
