Tooth Replacement Options for Replacing All Teeth
Replacement options for multiple teeth include:
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular method for replacing one or several teeth. They are surgically implanted in the jaw.
Implants are reliable and form a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Implants can last for a long time if they are properly taken care of.
-Pros
Looks and functions are similar to natural teeth
Preserves the jawbone and bone tissue
Holds the artificial teeth securely in place
-Cons
It is one of the most expensive tooth replacement options
Requires a lot of time to heal
Removable Dentures
Removable dentures are a simpler and less expensive option compared to implants.
-Pros
One of the most inexpensive options for teeth replacement
Non-invasive and quick procedure
Can be replaced and repaired easily
Good for restoring chewing abilities
-Cons
Usage for long periods may be uncomfortable
Less durable than other options
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are more secure than traditional dentures as they use implants for the base. They also eliminate the risk of dentures slipping off during conversations or while you eat.
-Pros
Economical choice
Preserves bone and gum tissue
Enhances the ability to chew and smile
-Cons
Requires multiple visits to the dentist in Concord CA
Cannot be used for a single tooth replacement
Fixed Bridge
A fixed bridge is used to bridge the gap left by one or more missing teeth. There are many benefits of getting a fixed bridge:
-Pros
Gives a natural and realistic look
Less invasive procedure
Less expensive than dental implants
You don’t have to remove it for cleaning
-Cons
Poor fit of the bridge can affect the adjoining teeth
If food particles get underneath the bridge, it will be tougher to clean them
