What are my options to replace missing teeth in my mouth?
Missing teeth should be replaced to prevent the shifting of other teeth and ultimately changing the bite. With advances in dentistry, replacement of missing teeth is no longer limited to plates. Dental implants are made of titanium and are placed in jawbone as permanent anchors. On top of the implant body, a porcelain crown can be placed. Implants feel and look just like your natural tooth. They can be flossed and brushed just like your other teeth. Bridge is another way to replace missing teeth. Bridges are fixed so there is no hassle of a removable appliance.
