Dental Implants
The most effective treatment for tooth replacement is placing a dental implant. An oral surgeon places a small titanium post in the jaw to anchor the replacement tooth. After it has healed, your dentist will place a crown, and the result is a natural-looking, fully functioning permanent tooth.
Bridges
In some cases, a patient may choose a dental bridge to replace missing teeth. A bridge is different than an implant in that the artificial replacement teeth are affixed to the teeth adjacent to the gap rather than an implant post. An implant-supported bridge is an option when there is more than one tooth missing. Implants are placed on each side of the gap, restored with a crown, and the remaining replacement teeth are attached to the implants.
