Partial Bridges and Dentures

A partial bridge refers to a section of artificial teeth anchored to the surrounding teeth for support as the surrounding teeth keep it in place. In the case of dentures the artificial teeth are placed on pink acrylic which secures them in place. The acrylic is placed on the remaining gums to help replace the one that has shrunk. The challenge in the use of partial bridges and dentures is bone loss. Since there are no teeth on the gums the gums begin to shrink. The lack of teeth also leads to bone deterioration resulting in about 75% jaw bone loss. In the case of bridges, there is a further effect on the teeth used for anchoring. Over time the stress placed on them builds up affecting them and they would also need to be replaced.

Dental Implants

Dental implants address the problem of bone loss and gum shrinkage. They also solve the issue of stability and comfort and in doing so offer a permanent solution that saves you from further costs and visits to the dentist. A titanium screw is inserted into the jaw bone to act as the tooth root. After healing a false tooth is screwed at the top. This set up perfectly mimics a natural tooth and therefore guards against bone loss and gum shrinkage. Dental implants are easy to care for and you will only need the regular brushing and flossing at home as well as the normal dentist checkup for a natural tooth. They can be used to replace single or multiple teeth in a number of ways.

TOOTH LOSS

The Problem of Gum Shrinkage

To address the problem of gum shrinkage and further loss of teeth, the dentures and the bridges have to be replaced now and then. Over a lifetime the cost of replacement easily surpasses the one-time cost of using dental implants. Bridges when being replaced have to include the teeth that were previously used for anchoring depending on their condition. There is also the case of dentures eventually sliding and slipping as the gum continues to shrink affecting the comfort and confidence of the user.
