options for replacing missing teeth

Having missing teeth can be embarrassing. We know how much it can affect your self-confidence to have teeth fall out. We have options depending on how many teeth are missing. Please keep reading to learn more, and then give our Calgary dentist a call right away to set up a consultation.

Dental Bridges

If you have a gap from a missing tooth that needs to be closed, you can explore the idea of having a dental bridge. This involves placing a crown that will fit onto the teeth next to your missing teeth to cover the gap. This can help maintain the alignment of your teeth.

Dentures

Dentures are an option for missing teeth. You can either get partial or full dentures. Having dentures can help make talking, eating, and smiling more comfortable. You can restore your confidence by having these teeth replacements. A major benefit of getting dentures is that you do not have to let your gums heal before you wear them like you would need to with implants.

The material used for the replacement teeth is designed to match your natural teeth as closely as possible. We make sure that they fit comfortably so that you can go about your day-to-day activities. You will be able to enjoy your life more whether you are missing some of your teeth or all of them.

Dental Implants

If you want a more permanent fix to replace missing teeth, you are likely going to be interested in a dental implant. The benefits of you getting an implant means that you do not have to worry about it coming loose.

Dental implants are screwed into the jawbone. Once that screw gets fused with your bone, it will not shift around like bridges or dentures.
