Tooth loss is never easy, regardless of the number of teeth\nyou\u2019re missing. Not only does chewing and speaking become considerably more\ndifficult, but your neighboring teeth will shift into the open spaces left\nbehind. This carries major implications for your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to advancements in dentistry, replacing missing teeth\nwith bridges has become the official standard. However, even more advanced\nsolutions like dental implants in Frisco are available as well. The first\nquestion is not so much \u201cshould you replace teeth,\u201d but rather \u201chow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bridges and Dentures to Replace Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dental bridges consist of a metal (or white zirconia) frame,\nwith tooth colored porcelain stacked on top of it. The dental bridge consists\nof adjoining teeth (known as abutments) that connect to the missing space\n(known as a pontic). The dental bridge is cemented in to the mouth, similar to\nthat of a traditional dental crown. For those with multiple missing teeth on\nboth sides of the arch, or those who are missing all their teeth in a given\narch, dentures provide an effective and affordable solution. The denture\nconsist of either a metal or acrylic plate fitted with porcelain crowns.\nDepending on the upper or lower jaw, the denture will hug your roof of the\nmouth or your lower gum and jaw to stay in place. However, denture adhesive will\nbe needed in order to keep it in place as you adjust to wearing it daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Dental Implants Take Tooth Replacement a Step Further<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bridges and dentures rebuild your smile and prevent\nneighboring teeth from shifting, but they don\u2019t address all of the issues of\ntooth loss. That\u2019s where dental implants differ. Dental implants consists of three\nparts: a titanium screw (known as an implant or fixture), a porcelain crown,\nand a connector that attaches the two together (known as an abutment). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only are implants more reliable for daily use, but they\nfeel and look the most natural compared to your original teeth. Titanium has\nbeen proven to safely integrate with your body\u2019s existing structures and remain\nhealthy for many years. The implant acts as the root replacement, therefore\nproviding a stronger and more stable replacement than other methods. This\nintegration allows for a stronger biting force and easier maintenance.  Since a dental bridge is one piece, flossing\nis more difficult.  Proper oral hygiene\nwill require something to thread floss underneath the bridge, dental implants\ndo not require extra home care products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaw Bone Preservation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The moment a tooth is lost, the jaw bone and surrounding gum\ntissue responsible for holding it in place begins to break down. This process\nis called bone remodeling and it consists of unnecessary bone dying away\n(resorption) in order to properly heal the jaw bone. Keep in mind that this\nprocess not only affects the tissue where the previous tooth was, but also the neighboring\nteeth as well. The chances of tooth loss increases in patients with multiple\nareas of missing teeth, which is why dental implants are often recommended for\nmissing teeth. Other options may be affordable, but they don\u2019t address the\nlong-term issues associated with tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
