If you have a missing tooth or missing teeth, you can have teeth replaced by D B, dentures or dental implants. This article will discuss the difference between dental bridges and partial dentures.
What Are Dental Bridges?
D.B are fixed porcelain replacements of teeth. They can replace one to five teeth with two abutment teeth. They must be placed on healthy teeth.
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are removeable acrylic replacements of teeth. They can replace one or all teeth. Partial dentures do not rely on abutment teeth so much, like dental bridges.
What is best For Replacing Teeth?
Dental bridges are fixed and dentures are removable, so depending on your teeth and gum health, the cosmetic dentist can decide what's best for you!
Assessment of Dental Treatment
It is important to have a thorough assessment to see what's the best option for you. This depends on the teeth, gums and x-rays to show the health of the teeth and jaw.
Alternatives of Replacement Teeth
Dental implants are another option to replacing teeth. You must have good jaw bone to accommodate dental implants. A dental bridge or denture can be supported on dental implants.
What Happens if You Don't Replace Teeth?
If you do not replace them then your teeth either side of the gap and opposing the gap, may move. It may be difficult to eat. Your face may sink in the places where your teeth are missing.
Prevention of Tooth Wear
Cosmetic dentists are aware that tooth to tooth contact cannot be completely stopped, but with the night bite guard your teeth are prevented from excessive contact and can help tooth wear! In turn this may alleviate jaw and muscle symptoms.
