Dental Bridges
Dental bridges have been the standard for tooth replacement for quite some time. The bridge consists of three to four dental crowns fused together, with the crowns on either end hollowed out for effective placement. The crowns in between these hollowed-out crowns are known as pontics and effectively bridge the gap in your smile. As a result, some tooth enamel will need to be modified to keep the bridge properly anchored. With proper care, it can last many years without issue.
Dentures
For those who have multiple missing teeth on both sides of their arch or missing all of their teeth can benefit from affordable full and partial dentures. These oral appliances use a gum-colored, acrylic base and porcelain restorations to naturally and fully restore missing teeth. Full dentures use the natural shape of the mouth and suction to stay in place, while partial dentures are held via metal clasps that hook around existing teeth.
Dental Implants
In recent years, dental implants have been becoming extremely popular, especially for those who are tired of replacing and repairing dental bridges and dentures on a routine basis. Unlike these traditional tooth replacement methods, dental implants replace the entire tooth structure, including the root and the crown. Therefore, their use makes eating, smiling and speaking all feel natural. With proper care, they can easily last a lifetime, just make sure to commit to daily oral care and visit Dr. Morton regularly!
