At Sparkle Dental Care, we offer a wide selection of tooth replacement options to meet your specific needs. Whether you have one missing tooth or several, we are here to help.
We recommend booking a consultation with your Fairfield dentist to get started. This initial visit determines your candidacy for the various options, and we can discuss costs and what to expect, including potential pretreatments and aftercare.
Now, let’s explore single and multiple tooth replacement options.
Single Tooth Replacement Options
Dental Bridge
This is a restoration tooth housed between dental crowns. The dental crowns cover healthy teeth, and the restoration teeth fill in the gap. Your dentist can also secure your bridge with a dental implant. In either case, this is a fixed prosthetic.
Partial Denture
Partial dentures fit around your remaining teeth and compensate for partial tooth loss. A partial denture may be removable or dental implant-supported.
Single Dental implant
A single dental implant is one tooth root replacement surgically set into the jawbone. Later, this implant is topped with a custom dental crown.
Multiple Tooth Replacement Options
A dental bridge can stand in for one to two missing teeth. A partial denture can work for one missing tooth or several.
However, when all teeth are missing, your dentist typically recommends one of the following:
- Complete dentures—a removable prosthetic that sits over the gum.
- All-on-4®--a fixed denture secured to the jaw with four dental implant posts.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
Tooth loss hurts your oral health. For example, when teeth are missing, the remaining teeth can shift and throw off your bite alignment. Eventually, this can lead to dental problems. Additionally, tooth loss can impact jawbone health by causing deterioration—only dental implants can help protect your jawbone!
