Replacing missing teeth prevents the remaining natural teeth from drifting, which can lead to difficulties with chewing, periodontal concerns, cavities, and jaw issues.
Choosing the best option to replace missing teeth depends on numerous factors including your initial concerns, finances, time commitment, and goals for treatment. A consultation with the dentist allows you to ask any questions or concerns you may have to help determine which treatment is right for your individualized needs.
Artificial teeth used to replace missing teeth within the dentition include:
- Bridges
- Implants
- Dentures
