Effective dental treatments for missing teeth When it comes to missing teeth, there are several dental treatment options available to restore function, aesthetics, and overall oral health. The best option depends on factors such as the number and location of the missing teeth, your overall health, budget, and personal preferences. Here are the main treatments: 1. Dental Implants Dental implants are one of the most popular and long-lasting solutions for missing teeth. An implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a root replacement. A crown is then placed on top of the implant to restore the appearance and function of a natural tooth. 2. Dental Bridges A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) that is anchored to the adjacent healthy teeth or implants. 3. Dentures There are two types of dentures that we deliver to our edentulous patients: a) Partial dentures b) Complete/full dentures
