TranslateIf you find you are hiding your smile a lot because of missing teeth, or dread face-to-face conversations, then it may be time to correct it. Whether you're missing one or multiple teeth, aesthetic reasons alone would be reason enough to do so. But a gap in your smile can lead to a variety of future complications if it is not addressed. You have options available to you, but dental implants can be your best choice. Find out how below, but for more information get in contact with Dr. Adib Setareh and Dr. Neda Setareh of Stars Dental in Camarillo, and Tarzana, CA.
Bridges and Dentures
Both dental bridges and dentures are very effective at what they do and many patients and dentists choose them to deal with missing teeth. But the benefits of dental implants cannot be understated.
Dental bridges require the teeth adjacent to the gap to support the crown which will replace your tooth. These need to be reshaped in order for them to also accept a crown.
A dental implant however supports itself in a manner similar to your natural teeth. In place of a root, a titanium post is implanted directly onto the bone, which permanently fuses to the post through a process called osseointegration. It is onto this post that a crown will be ultimately attached, making for results that can last a lifetime if properly cared for.
Similarly, they can restore multiple teeth through implant-supported dentures. These improve over the traditional treatment by securing the implement onto a number of implants and negate some of the most common complaints associated with dentures.
