If you have one or several teeth missing, it is important to replace them to protect your oral health. Missing teeth affect your:
Bite
Chewing
Diet
Digestion
General appearance
Self-esteem
Speeches
They may also lead to headaches and jaw pain, and increased pressure on the remaining teeth.
There are several options for replacing missing teeth:
Dentures (including harmonics)
Bridges Crowns
Implants
Dentures
The dentures are the traditional method to replace missing teeth. Complete dentures are complete sets of the stem or lower teeth of prosthetic teeth. Partial dentures replace some teeth missing. Dentures are not permanent, they are associated with denture adhesive. They must be removed and cleaned each night with a denture cleanser. The problem with dentures is that they are not always safe, and because they rest on your gums, they can almost half the pressure of mastication of natural teeth.
Bridges Crowns
Bridges are artificial (porcelain) teeth permanently attached to adjacent teeth for crowns or metal "wings". Usually a crown is a cover for a tooth all-round protection needs to extend its life. The crown is permanently attached to the stub tooth, so the news paper surfaces and leaving its natural roots in the place.
To support a fixed bridge, crowns are placed on healthy teeth next to the hole of the missing tooth. Healthy tooth must be removed to make room for the crowns. But this gives you a tooth replacement without having to remove and clean every night. It is simply the same care to receive your natural teeth. But some people have no teeth for a crown reduced. A third option is, by many as the best.
Implants
The implants are artificial tooth roots, in whole or jaw. They are permanent support and porcelain teeth. This approach to bridge the gap of the missing tooth, but also the gap in the bone left by the missing tooth root. As teeth will move in to fill a gap tooth, bone it will "move", or contract, to fill a bone gap. This is the outline of the face and you do more.
Implants are a solution offered by cosmetic dentists. The titanium implant is chosen because it blends well with the bone. In a separate dental, it is placed in the jaw and allowed to heal for several months. If the bone has grown around him (osseointegration) and the gums heal, a little post (pillar) is attached to the top of the implant, stab the gums. At a porcelain tooth is attached. It will look, feel and act like a natural tooth, including the amount of pressure that can resist biting.
These three options provide a structure for your mouth if you do not end with a hollow appearance to the absence of a mouth full of teeth. Dental implants also preserve your jaw line youth. Whichever method you choose, it is important to at least replace missing teeth for your dental health future.
