There are so many options and treatments that can give you back the smile you are missing. All you need to do is discuss all your options with your dentist to find out which one will work best for you.
Choosing to replace missing teeth can be a hard decision, but if you discuss with your dentist what you expect from a replacement, they will be able to guide you in the right direction.
One of the most popular options to replace a missing tooth is a dental implant. This type of replacement is surgically implanted into the gumline by a connector. This replacement is made from porcelain and looks very natural.
You can treat your implant like a natural tooth. It is cleaned the same. It can be flossed and brushed with a toothbrush. You can also continue to eat any foods you want because dental implants do not shift or move inside of your mouth. This replacement option will have you looking in the mirror with confidence again. Implants look and feel like natural teeth.
Dental implants can be expensive compared to other replacement options. The reason for their cost is that to be placed in the mouth and into the gumline requires a surgical incision. The implant is screwed into the surgically placed connector inside the gum. Once the implant is in, it can only be removed by your dentist or periodontist, making them feel like your natural tooth.
To prevent tooth loss, you need to establish a healthy oral hygiene routine early on. This will require you to be sure to brush your teeth twice a day, floss as often as you can, and use mouthwash to prevent bacteria from sticking to your teeth. Tooth loss can be avoided by doing a few simple tasks every day, but even if you do all that is recommended, you may still end up facing the choice of how to replace missing teeth.
