Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. They impact your ability to speak, chew and enjoy daily activities comfortably. Beyond function, teeth play a vital role in maintaining healthy bone levels by stimulating the underlying jawbone. When a tooth is lost, that stimulation stops, which can lead to bone loss and shifting of your remaining teeth. Replacing missing teeth promptly helps you restore both the aesthetics and function of your smile while preventing future complications.
Here at BB Dental Studio, we offer several tooth replacement options tailored to your individual needs and preferences:
- Dental Bridges: Dental bridges are a popular choice when you need to replace one or more missing teeth in a row. They work by anchoring an artificial tooth between two crowns that are placed on the healthy teeth or implants adjacent to the gap. Because they are fixed in place, bridges provide stability and restore your bite, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment.
- Dentures: Dentures are a removable option for replacing several missing teeth or even a full dental arch. There are two main types: partial dentures, which replace some teeth, and complete dentures, which replace all the teeth in the upper or lower arch. Dentures offer a cost-effective way to restore your smile and can be customized for comfort and fit. Dentures may also be anchored in place with dental implants if desired.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. An implant consists of a titanium post inserted into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. This post supports a crown, bridge or denture to complete your restoration. Implants feel, look and function like natural teeth while helping to maintain jawbone health. They are a long-lasting solution designed to blend seamlessly into your smile.
