It is such a great time to live in where there are different options for the replacement of missing teeth. Not everyone can afford to have dental implants as a tooth/teeth replacement, and not everyone wants to go through the long process of having them implanted in the mouth. For many people, partial dentures are an exceptional and desirable choice. Partial dentures are a tooth replacement option when some natural teeth remain in the mouth.

If you are missing one tooth, a single tooth implant is the ideal long-term solution for replacement because it will successfully replace the tooth and protect the health of the adjacent teeth. For years, a tooth supported bridge was used if a single tooth needed to be replaced.

While dental implants are the greatest advancement in dentistry within the last century, dental implants are not invincible. Just like natural teeth, dental implants can become damaged, cracked, or broken from trauma or injury. Other factors such as tooth or gum infection can also cause damage to dental implants. By taking proper care of your mouth you can prevent broken dental implants.

Dentures have long been an ideal way for people to replace missing teeth. While dental implants are the most ideal tooth replacement, they are expensive and not feasible for everyone. Dentures are removable false teeth made from acrylic and/or metal that fit into the mouth to create the appearance of a complete smile.

Dentures are a wonderful method to attractively replace missing teeth, but they are not always easy to adjust to right away. Dentures are foreign objects within the mouth, and unfortunately they cannot duplicate the exact function and feel of natural teeth.
