What Options Are Available For Invidivudal Tooth Replacement?

Tooth loss can happen to anyone, at any age. A tooth may need to be extracted due to severe decay, or because of an accident like playing rough sports. But no matter how it happens, replacing it can be a top priority.
 
Whether you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile or not there are plenty of reasons to replace a missing tooth. One of the least known or talked about concern is that a gap in your remaining teeth will allow for movement. If you already have pretty straight teeth to begin with this can be a devastating situation. What happens is when a gap is left, the other teeth will shift to fill the gap. They have the freedom to move. But teeth won’t just slide over, perfectly straight, they will turn adjust become crooked, and thus throwing the alignment off. An alignment issue will be more expensive to repair and can take considerably longer than replacing a missing tooth.
 
When you visit the dentist, they will likely give you three options for individual tooth replacement. These can include a bridge, a partial denture, or a single dental implant with a crown. Depending on your budget, the location of the missing tooth could determine which is the best fit for you.
 
With a bridge, your dentist will need to shave down the teeth next to the gap for placement of the crow. If your teeth are generally healthy, this might not be the best thing for those teeth. A bridge is then fixed into place and is not removable. Most dental offices and insurances consider a bridge a cosmetic procedure because it looks more realistic and goes above just filling the gap for functionality purposes.
 
Dentures, on the other hand, and in this case, a partial denture, are removable dental appliances that are secured using clasps to other teeth in the mouth. Of the three options, partial dentures are the least comfortable but the most inexpensive.
 
With Sarasota dental implants, you get the benefit of a permanent solution for tooth replacement, and the most natural looking crown possible. Your dentist will tailor make a crown that matches the size, shape, and color of your existing teeth so that the transition from your real teeth to the artificial is virtually unnoticeable.
 
All three options are great for filling the gap in a smile due to tooth loss. While partial dentures and bridges are the least expensive options for replacement, the benefits of dental implants are unmatched. That is why they are considered the gold standard in the dental field for replacing missing teeth.
