![]() It can change the way you speak, eat, and the way you are perceived by your peers. Heck, it can even hurt your self-image. Because there are a few different options on the market, let's take a look at the different aspects of tooth replacement in order to determine what the best option would be. Replacing a Tooth in FormMaking it appear as though you have a tooth is the easiest aspect of replacing a tooth. Dentures, and removable prosthetics make it appear as though you have a tooth in pretty much the same way a dental implant or crown does.Removable prosthetics don't do much more than just appear to be a real tooth, however. In order to eat you must remove prosthetics or removable bridges. They don't do a whole lot for your oral health when compared with dental implants. Replacing a Tooth in FunctionThe function of the tooth is the most important aspect of tooth replacement. Not only does a dental implant allow you to eat with the same confidence as your natural teeth, it gives you all the same oral health benefits that a real tooth would.Dental ImplantsDental implants are able to replace a tooth in both form and function. They stimulate the hard and soft tissues within your mouth to encourage a healthy mouth. This prevents further tooth loss, something that removable prosthesis are not so great at.To learn more about dental implant, please call us today, and we can schedule you a no obligation consultation. |
