Got a dental problem, but not what the right solution for your unique situation is?
The best way to replace missing teeth depends on:
Beenleigh Marketplace Dental offer three options to replace missing teeth:
A dental bridge is a false tooth. It can be attached to one or two dental crowns, bonded straight onto adjacent teeth or secured with a dental implant.
The most common option is the dental bridge attached to dental crowns. This involves preparing either one or both of the healthy teeth on either side of the gap for dental crowns. The crown(s) is then cemented to the healthy teeth and the gap is bridged by the false tooth.
This option is a budget-friendly, effective way to replace a missing tooth.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root. Made from biocompatible material, the dental implant is surgically inserted in to your jaw where it is used to anchor either a dental implant crown, bridge or denture.
For patients in good health (both oral and general health), this is treatment has benefits over and above non-implant supported tooth replacement options.
With a dental implant your jaw is being looked after as well as your gums and teeth. This is a result of the jawbone fusing with the dental implant which helps with health jawbone stimulation—an important part of keeping your jawbone healthy.
While this treatment has the most benefits it also has the longest treatment time. It can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to complete this treatment. But at the completion of treatment you will have a long-lasting, healthy tooth replacement option that takes care of your teeth, gums, and jaw.
People have been using dentures to replace missing teeth for centuries. This tried and tested method of replacing missing teeth is the least involved of all the methods. Dentures can be used to replace one tooth or a whole arch of teeth.
Some patients choose to have the dentures secured with 2 to 6 dental implants depending on the health of their jaw and the size of the denture.
