What are my choices to replace a missing tooth?
There are three ways to replace a missing tooth or teeth: 1. A fixed prosthesis, A bridge is a permanent or fixed replacement. A bridge consists of replacement teeth (one or more) that are attached to crowns on the adjacent teeth. The replacement teeth are shaped and contoured to blend in with the natural teeth in the mouth. 2. A removable prosthesis. A denture is a removable replacement. A denture can be either partial or complete, a partial denture has replacement teeth attached to either a metal or flexible plastic framework, while a complete denture replaces all the teeth in either the upper or lower arch, attached to an acrylic base. 3. implants.
