One of the Most Popular Cosmetic Dental Alternatives is Dentures
Dentures may be the best option for you if you have lost most or all of your teeth. Because they are only familiar with the dentures of the past, many seniors dread this alternative. Dentures have only been readily accessible for roughly 50 years, in actuality. They have significantly improved in comfort, appearance, and price since then. Having said that, there are alternatives and they are not always the best option.
Dental Implants
Seniors may remember the days when partial dentures were common and how uncomfortable they may be. To replace missing teeth, dental implants are now accessible. A dental implant is a two-part implant that begins with a metal screw inserted into the gum and directly attached to bone tissue. The tooth is then capped with a cap to give it the appearance of a genuine, healthy tooth. This gives the appearance of a real, healthy tooth and will also feel that way.
Dental Bridge
Similar to an implant, a dental bridge is made to replace missing teeth, though it can do so simultaneously. The dentist will make a piece of fake teeth (the “bridge”). The healthy teeth on either side of the gap will be filed down to tiny nubs. The bridge will then be constructed over the nubs. The teeth that were previously lost will be replaced by this bridge of artificial teeth.
What Is Your Best Course of Action?
These are only a few of the alternatives. Do you have another idea in mind, like whitening your teeth? Do you want an evaluation of your teeth to identify the best course of action?
