Your Treatment Options When It Comes to Replacing Your Missing Teeth
If you have missing teeth, your smile is at risk for many dental problems, including misaligned teeth and more. You also most likely disapprove of your smile’s appearance and you most likely suffer from lower self-esteem. Our dentist, Dr. Matthew Scaffa, encourages you to replace your missing teeth as soon as possible. Fortunately, there are many treatments available to help you. Some of those treatments are:
-A dental bridge (A dental bridge is a restoration that anchors onto the natural teeth that remain on both sides of the gap in the mouth. It is made of two dental crowns and one or more false teeth.)
-A dental implant (A dental implant acts as a replacement tooth as well as its root. It is made of a titanium post, an attachment piece, and a dental crown.)
-Dentures (Dentures are removable appliances that can replace all of your teeth (complete dentures) or just a few of your teeth (partial dentures).)
