Missing teeth have a powerful impact on your oral health and function. Teeth ensure you can eat and speak normally, as well as stimulate your supporting bone to keep it healthy and give your smile a stable foundation. When you lose a tooth, both your appearance and your overall wellbeing are impacted. Dr. Patricia Breen and Dr. Elyse Patrella offer several options for replacing missing teeth:
Dental implants are the ideal option for replacing missing teeth, as they replace both the roots and the crowns of the teeth. They can be used to replace individual teeth, multiple teeth or an entire arch of teeth as needed.
Dental bridges consist of one or more missing teeth anchored in place using dental crowns or implants. They are a good option for replacing one tooth or several missing teeth in a row.
Dentures are a type of removable orthodontic appliance. They consist of prosthetic teeth set into a plastic or acrylic base. Complete dentures replace a full arch of teeth, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
