Dental Bridges
Dental bridges can replace anywhere from one to four consecutive missing teeth in an arch by anchoring to the natural teeth on either side of the gap in your smile. The restorations are comprised of dental crowns, which act as anchors, that are fused to free-standing replacement teeth called pontics. With the proper maintenance, these restorations can be a great alternative to placing dental implants when bone quality isn't right for implant placement.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures can replace several or all of your missing teeth in an arch. Full dentures utilize an acrylic, gum-colored base to hold the replacement teeth within the mouth. Dentures fit over the gums and utilizes suction to stay secured. Partial dentures are structured a little differently — they stay in place with a framework that fits around your existing teeth, holding the denture in place. All dentures come in and out of the mouth and therefore move around unlike bridges and crowns. However, ask Dr. Young about dental implant options for your denture as they can be used.
Dental Implants
Dental implants stand out as a superior tooth replacement option, offering a myriad of benefits that set them apart from traditional alternatives like bridges and dentures. This innovative technique involves the use of titanium posts, known as dental implants, to seamlessly replace the root structure of missing teeth. Surgically placed underneath the gum tissue, these implants provide a secure foundation for attaching crowns, bridges, or dentures, effectively restoring both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your smile.
