Losing your teeth as an adult can be frustrating for many reasons. It can limit your ability to chew certain foods, speak, and can change your appearance. Your Riverside, CA, dentist team offers several prosthetic options that can replace your missing pearly whites and give you a full smile again. In today’s blog, we’re here to discuss your options!
Dentures And Bridges Can Mimic Lost Teeth
A dental bridge is a type of artificial option that can replace up to three of your lost teeth in the same row. This may be helpful for patients who have lost some of their pearly whites from an accident or a health condition. Crowns are added over the supporting teeth before the bridge is placed, and then the pontic is secured in place. This option is secured in place, meaning you won’t have to take it out to clean. A dental bridge may be able to improve your ability to chew, speak, and feel confident in your smile.
Dentures may be a helpful option for patients experiencing more serious forms of tooth loss. These can be a full or partial set, depending on your needs. Usually, your dentures will be removable and are secured in place with a safe adhesive. Dentures can give you a complete smile and improve your smile’s function.
Securely Replace Your Missing Structures With Implants
Dental implants are another option that replace your missing teeth, improve your appearance, and make it easier to perform functions like chewing and talking. This option is different from others because it can mimic both the lost root of your tooth as well as the visible part. You can secure a bridge or dentures in place with implants to create a more secure way to replace your missing pearly whites. Implants can help preserve your jawbone and prevent further tooth loss from occurring.
Before receiving your prosthetic, your dentist will examine your oral cavity and discuss your oral health history to determine the best option for your needs. Patients with a healthy smile and strong jaw may be good candidates for dental implants. However, if you have problems such as gum disease, you may need to treat these conditions first before receiving your prosthetic.
