Dentist in 94127 zip code area describes tooth replacement options
When teeth are missing, it is important to visit a dentist in the 94127, West Portal, area to discuss possible tooth replacement solutions. Many patients who have lost a tooth, or several teeth, are embarrassed about smiling. They may experience reduced ability to eat and speak properly. The health of the smile is also affected by missing teeth. Drs. Terri Nguyen and Laura Huynh believe patients should visit West Portal Family Dentistry to learn about the advantages of treatment by a quality team of professionals.
Excellent methods of tooth replacement:
Replacing missing teeth is done using dentures, dental bridges, or dental implants.
Dentures
Dentures come in two varieties – full and partial. Full are dedicated to patients who are missing an entire arch of teeth, while partials are for those missing one or more teeth within an arch. These restorations slide in and out of the smile for easy care and cleanings.
Dental bridges
Bridges are ceramic or gold restorations that are made with false teeth called pontics and dental crowns fused together to create a single combined unit. These are more permanent than a denture and are economical for most patients.
Dental implants
Titanium posts called implants are often used to replace one or more teeth. These posts act as natural tooth root replacements. They are placed into the bone of the jaw and restored with crowns, bridges, or dentures.
