What are my options for replacing my missing tooth?
A dental implant is the most natural way to replace a missing tooth. This solution feels and acts the most like a natural tooth when chewing, brushing or smiling.
A bridge is another option to replace a missing tooth. Conventional bridges can be used when you have natural teeth on both sides of the gap created by your missing tooth. The downside of these as a solution is that your dentist will need to remove enamel from the adjacent teeth to make room for the bridge to be cemented on top.
A denture is also an option for replacing missing teeth. A partial denture is used to replace some of your teeth and relies on surrounding teeth for support. A full denture is used when all teeth are missing.
