YOU HAVE OPTIONS ON REPLACING YOUR MISSING TOOTH!
If you’re
missing a tooth, you’ve got several options. The least advisable is to do
nothing! It’s not just about aesthetic Replacing a lost tooth is important to restoring maximum function, |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
maintaining the alignment of surrounding teeth, and preserving facial contours. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Over time,
those adjacent to a toothless gap can drift to fill the space and move out of alignment. Additionally, tooth roots below the gums provide stimulation |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
that the underlying jawbone needs to maintain its form and density. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Following
are common approaches to replacing a lost tooth. The most appropriate for you will depend on a variety of factors that you should discuss with your dentist. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is actually a tooth root replacement to which a separately fashioned crown is attached. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For
successful implantation, there must be a sufficient amount of healthy jawbone to anchor the implant and the adjacent gums and teeth must be healthy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Certain systemic health conditions may preclude implantation as well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nobody
really wants to live with missing teeth. So, throughout history, human ingenuity has come up with various ways of replacing them |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If your parents lost a tooth, they probably had only one good choice for its replacement: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
the three-unit fixed bridge. But today there's an even better option available the dental implant. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Why do we
think dental implants are the best method yet found for tooth replacement?
It's all about bone tissue. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Even if you can't see a missing tooth, the bone in your jaw “knows” it's gone. Without the stimulation that teeth provide, the alveolar bone begins to resorb |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The bones in the jaw support facial structures like cheeks, lips and chin. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As bone
disappears, cheeks begin to sink in, lips lose their support, and eventually the lower third of the face shrinks, exaggerating the appearance of aging. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Aside from
esthetics, bone loss can also lead to problems with the gums, the bite, and other health and nutritional issues. |
