Multiple Teeth Replacement – Newington, CT

Non-Implant Tooth Replacement Options

In many cases, non-implant tooth replacement solutions can be quite natural-looking and provide patients with the ability to eat almost anything.These treatment possibilities include:

• Afixed bridge. A fixed bridge, sometimes called crown and bridgework, is often suitable for patients who are missing a few teeth in a row. It is a custom-made prosthesis that has two crowns, which fit over the teeth that are next to an empty space in the mouth. The crowns support 1 -3 artificial teeth between them.
• Partial dentures. A partial denture is a removable prosthesis that replaces multiple teeth at various places throughout an arch. Metal clips or other attachments help it to stay in place during eating and speaking.
• Full dentures. A full denture is a replaces an entire arch of teeth. It includes a gum-colored base that is attached to artificial teeth, which are usually made of acrylic or porcelain. Natural suction or a mild adhesive helps a full denture to stay in place.

The Dental Implant Process

If you are interested in multiple teeth implants in Newington, your journey toward a new smile begins with a consultation in our office, wherein we will determine whether implants are the best treatment for you. Then, your mouth must be prepared to receive the implants. You may need to undergo procedures such as extractions, gum disease treatment, or bone grafts. When your mouth is ready, implants will be placed at strategic locations throughout your jaw. The implants will then bond with the tissue around them over a period of several months, enabling them to act as substitutes for the roots of missing teeth. Finally, we will attach prosthetic teeth to the tops of the implants.

The Benefits of Implant-Retained Dental Prostheses

We usually recommend implant-retained prosthetics rather than traditional tooth replacement options because dental implants offer a number of outstanding advantages:

• Placing dental implants does not usually required that the remaining natural teeth be modified.
• Implant-supported prostheses tend to be stronger and studier than non-implant tooth replacement options.
• The bond the implants form with the body helps to preserve bone mass and gum tissue volume.
• Implant-supported restorations can last for decades. Non-implant prostheses may last for just 5 – 10 years or so.
