Tooth Replacement
Tooth Replacement Solutions for Missing Teeth

Teeth that are extremely decayed and damaged are extracted leaving a gap. One can also lose teeth in an accident. If you have lost a tooth or two, it is advisable to find a tooth replacement option to fill the gap. If the gap is left open, the surrounding teeth begin to shift from their original position into the gap left by the missing tooth. This could result in crooked teeth. Crooked teeth make it hard to reach all surfaces when brushing and flossing leading to tooth decay. One could also develop bite problems, straining and damaging the jaw joint. Missing teeth also alter the appearance of the face.To avoid such issues, consider replacing teeth that have been extracted or knocked off in accidents. Below are some solutions you can get from your dentist:

Advantages of Dental Implants
Dental implants give one a more improved appearance because they look like natural teeth. They are also more permanent as they are designed to fuse with the bone. This makes them more comfortable compared to removable dentures.
Dental implants are very durable. They are designed to last for decades and if proper care is exercised they can last a lifetime. Dental implants function like your normal teeth thus promoting easier chewing, improved speech and improved overall health.
Dental Bridge and Dental Implant
A single tooth can be replaced using a bridge or implant. A bridge is usually supported by the adjacent teeth. A dental implant does not require support from the adjacent teeth. This gives it an advantage over a dental bridge. For a dental bridge, the dentist has to prepare the adjacent teeth to support the bridge. A dental implant also provides the support lost after a tooth is removed. The implant prevents bone loss; this does not happen when a bridge is used. Since dental implants are unnoticeable, they can be used to replace front missing teeth. This dental solution among others like porcelain veneers Barrie are used to help patients achieve the smile they desire.
If three or more adjacent teeth are to be replaced, then the dentist can recommend bridges supported by implants. The bridges are fixed permanently and are more stable than a traditional bridge.
DENTURES
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are artificial teeth that are used to replace missing teeth. Dentures can be permanently fixed or they can be removable. They are usually custom made using acrylic or metals. Dentures can either be full or partial depending on the individual needs. Complete dentures are suitable for patients who have lost most of their natural teeth. They replace all the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures are for dental patients who have lost fewer teeth. They only cover the gaps left by missing teeth.
Can Dentures Be Supported With Dental Implants?
Over the years dentures have been a huge concern for many patients due to slipping and minimal chewing power. However, with advancement in technology, dentures can now be supported with dental implants eliminating these problems. Implants will ensure dentures stay in place and that the chewing power is increased.
