When there are one or more missing teeth, especially when they are visible while smiling, it is normal to feel ashamed and hide or cover your smile. According to the statistics, around 90 percent of people do not feel confident enough to smile with lost teeth. No matter if they are teenage, adults, or elderly. In other words, nowadays, having a great appearance is one of the top priorities of most people around the world. And missing teeth act as a barrier to this great appearance. If you are one of those suffering from missing teeth and hiding your smile, you can visit us at Parkview Dental & Implant Centre. A group of dedicated and experienced dental specialists is gathered in our clinic to replace your missing teeth utilizing advanced dentistry tools.
When it comes to tooth replacement options, there are some useful options such as dental implants, dental bridges, and dentures. Each option is a type of cosmetic dental treatment that can both improve your appearance and restore the function of your teeth. Besides, it can be said that each one has its advantages and disadvantages and meets unique needs. Here, we explain the two most common tooth replacement options: dental implants and dentures.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth can happen due to various reasons such as an accident, a sports injury, a severe dental issue, or even ignoring dental hygiene. This is a kind of advanced dental treatment used in all dental clinics that offer cosmetic dental processes. As the name replies, a false tooth is implanted in your jawbone in this method. These titanium alloys and bone-like ceramic materials are biocompatible with body tissue. These cosmetic dental methods have become so popular because they look and function like natural teeth. After the dental implant surgery, the false tooth will be fixed in your jaw precisely. As dental specialists applying dental implants explain, it is almost impossible to diagnose an implanted tooth and a natural tooth. They are so close to real teeth. They also feel secure and stable.
Another positive point related to this cosmetic dental method is that the number of your missing teeth does not matter. Dental implants are offered as both single tooth replacement and multiple tooth replacement.
Finally, it is worth stating that when these cosmetic dental methods are performed professionally and maintained well and properly, they can last a lifetime. Maintaining does not mean a specific caring point. Taking care of dental implants simply means brushing, flossing, and cleaning daily.
Dentures
As mentioned earlier, dentures are another kind of tooth replacement option. Long ago, people did not like dentures since they had to take dentures out of their mouths at night. Or they complained that dentures slipped in their mouths when they ate, laughed, or talked. These days, these mentioned problems are removed in advanced dentures. They are now two kinds of dentures that are fixed or movable. They are also partial or full dentures. The first one is suitable for those who have lost some of their teeth. And the next one is designed for patients suffering from a large number of missing teeth or even all of them.
