Tooth replacement solutions have progressed quite impressively across the past three decades or so. If you have a badly damaged tooth or a missing tooth, do not assume you have to live with this problem for the rest of your life. Dental implants, dental bridges, and other oral health solutions are available. The question is whether dental implants or dental bridges are optimal for your unique mouth. In many cases, dental implants will prove ideal yet there are an array of factors that must be considered before taking either route.

If you are like most people, you are at least somewhat hesitant to get dentures. This is not a time to make assumptions or base your decision on a quick scan of Google search results pertaining to dentures. Meet with your dentist, ask the right questions and you will be able to make a truly informed decision as to whether dentures are right for you. Let’s take a look at the top questions to ask before moving forward with dentures.

Over the course of time treatments in the field of dentistry have improved to such a great extent with the introduction of new products and technology that have made it possible to improve one’s smile. People usually opt for the most convenient orthodontic treatment option when it comes to choosing between the traditional dental wire braces or the Invisalign clear aligners. To decide which option is right for you it is essential that you learn a little bit about how they work in aligning the teeth and the care that is needed for both.

If you are missing teeth, there is a good chance you can benefit from dental bridges. Dental bridges are exactly as they sound: they bridge the space created by a lost tooth. The bridge is comprised of different metals ranging from gold to silver and porcelain. Three crowns are used: two that function as abutments to the adjacent teeth near the gap along with a middle crown that functions as a pontic (meaning false tooth). If you don't have healthy teeth near the gap, dental implants can be added. Once the dental bridge is in place, it is fixed, meaning the crown is permanently connected to the adjacent teeth or an implant.
