Replacing Multiple Teeth with Dental Implants at Dentspa; What are my Options?

Are you missing one or more of your natural teeth? You’re not alone. According to the American College of Prosthodontics, about 178 million US citizens are missing one or more of their natural teeth [1]. Many people think that it is not necessary to replace a missing tooth. Unfortunately, this is not true.
While missing teeth negatively affect your smile and facial esthetics, they also affect your physical health in many ways. Each tooth has a specific function, and even if one of them is lost, it becomes quite difficult to chew and digest the food, resulting in poor physical health. In addition, missing teeth also create difficulty in speech and pronunciation of words.
Not only this, loss of teeth results in an accelerated bone loss in the region, which results in the appearance of wrinkles and signs of premature aging on the face. So, are you ready to take this risk? Isn’t it better to get your missing teeth replaced immediately and prevent all these drawbacks in the first place?

Choosing the Right Tooth Replacement Option

Now you might ask “which tooth replacement option will be best for me?” Don’t worry, we can help you with that. When it comes to replacing multiple missing teeth, we recommend dental implants. Implants are screw-shaped fixtures which are inserted in the bone and they provide a solid foundation for the attachment of naturally appearing and durable artificial teeth.

Let’s look at some of the implant-supported prostheses which can be used for replacing multiple teeth:

  • Implant-Supported Bridge
    • In this type of prosthesis, a dental bridge is attached to the implants for replacing missing teeth. Unlike the conventional bridges which are supported by natural teeth, implant-supported bridges are attached directly to dental implants. The good thing is that you can replace up to 3 or 4 missing a bridge which is supported by a single implant.
  • Implant Supported Overdentures
    • another option is to use a removable partial denture which gains its support and retention directly from dental implants. Such prostheses are called overdentures. Conventional overdentures are supported by natural teeth. However, implant-supported overdentures directly gain support from implants. In this system, special attachments are placed on the implant and the denture so that when the denture is seated, the male attachment on the implant grips the female attachment on the tissue surface of the overdenture.

Since implant-supported prostheses are supported by the implants, they provide excellent chewing and speech efficiency in comparison with other tooth replacement options. In addition, esthetically pleasing and lifelike prostheses can be attached over the implants which restore your facial esthetics and personality.
