While traditional methods for replacing missing teeth, such as fixed bridges and dentures, remain effective options, dental implants offer an advanced solution that closely mimics the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. With dental implants, you can enjoy a complete and attractive smile while speaking and eating with ease.
When a single tooth is missing, a dental implant restored with a crown can replicate the natural tooth in almost every way. Unlike traditional fixed bridges, which require the preparation and crowning of adjacent teeth, a single-tooth implant acts as a self-supporting entity that preserves the integrity of your surrounding teeth.
For patients missing multiple teeth, an implant-supported fixed bridge offers a stable and secure solution. Unlike traditional bridges, which rely on adjacent natural teeth for support, this approach uses strategically placed dental implants to provide the necessary stability and retention. This not only preserves your natural teeth but also promotes ongoing bone stimulation to maintain facial contours.
As an alternative to full dentures, a complete set of replacement teeth can be supported by four or six strategically placed implants. This approach offers a fixed solution that eliminates the need for messy denture adhesives and improves comfort and fit while preventing any embarrassing slippage.
For patients who wear full dentures, an implant-retained denture can provide added stability and retention. By attaching to a select number of strategically placed implants in the upper or lower jaw, this type of denture offers increased security and confidence when speaking, smiling, and eating.
If you're struggling with tooth loss and looking for a solution that closely mimics your natural teeth, contact us at Syosset Family Dentist today. Our experienced staff is here to help you make an informed decision on the best options in care for rebuilding your smile.
