Dental Bridges
One of the most common methods for replacing a missing tooth is via dental bridges. These restorations are made from multiple crowns that are fused together to make one larger restoration, with the crowns on either end hollowed out so they can be placed on top of neighboring teeth. The crown(s) in between are meant to act as the replacement tooth, preventing teeth from shifting out of place and making your smile or bite uneven.
Dental Implants
The most comprehensive solution for replacing missing teeth is through dental implants, which works to replace the root that’s lost as well as the crown. By replacing teeth in this way, you can effectively restore not just your smile, but your ability to chew the foods you love. Additionally, the integration process dental implants undergo ensures that your tooth replacement will last longer on average than any other option to date.
