There’s no need to go through life with missing teeth. These days, many good alternatives are available. Dental implants and dentures are the most common options. Dentures are false teeth, and although their quality has improved, they’re not ideal for everyone. And if ill fitted, dentures might promote infection and decay in other teeth |
|
That said, dentures may be the best choice for people whose gums and jaw are weak or unhealthy. |
|
If you are missing teeth and your gums and jaw are healthy, you may benefit from dental implants, which are replacement teeth that are implanted surgically into the jawbone. With good oral hygiene, dental implants can last for 20 years or more without the need for replacement. Dental implants are often a popular choice for people who have only one or two teeth missing, but they can be an alternative to dentures if you have several missing teeth, two or more implants can serve as a base of support for several replacement teeth. |
