Multiple Teeth Replacement Options Kendall, FL
If you are struggling to live with a missing tooth or teeth, we can help with multiple teeth replacement options. Not only can we help to restore your smile, but we can ensure you are able to continue using your teeth as you usually would. Multiple teeth replacement options involve various forms of dental technology to restore the appearance of a smile and the functionality of the teeth.
Multiple teeth replacement options are available at Design A Smile Kendall in Kendall and the surrounding area. Possible options include bridges, dental implants, and dentures to replace teeth. Our dentist decides on the right tooth replacement option for you based on the location of the missing teeth, how strong the jaw is, and your personal preferences.
Call (305) 615-2415 today to schedule your consultation with our doctor and learn which replacement option is most effective for you.
Available Teeth Replacement Options
One of the most prominent factors that will help us determine an effective tooth replacement option is how many teeth we need to replace. Bridges are artificial teeth, also known as pontics, that close the gap between teeth. Dental implants are a viable option for patients who have a few missing teeth and want an option that does not require removal for cleaning; they look and function just like natural teeth.
When someone has a few teeth left, it may be possible to attach dentures over these remaining teeth; these are called partial removable dentures. Dental implants can be more durable and last longer than other options if the patient takes proper care of them.

Fixed Bridge
Appropriately named, this multiple teeth replacement option bridges the gap in a person's mouth. According to Authority Dental, a bridge may be used as an alternative to partial dentures or implants. If a patient is missing several teeth in a row, a fixed bridge can bring relief. A bridge replaces one tooth or multiple teeth with artificial teeth by joining them to crowns on either side of the gap.
A dental bridge requires two or more visits. The initial consultation involves X-rays and impressions, as well as a dental exam. At the next appointment, the dentist will place the artificial teeth in the gap and attach them to the crowns. There may be some adjustments to ensure there is a good, comfortable fit. The bridge provides patients with a natural look.

Temporary Teeth Replacement Options
Sometimes, teeth must be replaced immediately. Patients may not have the time, patience, or money to undergo more complex procedures. In such cases, partial flippers, partial dentures, and immediate dentures are all viable options.
A partial flipper (also known as a removable flipper or temporary partial denture) is an acrylic removable partial denture that rests on the lower jaw or fits along the palate of the mouth. A partial denture replaces one or several teeth missing on the same arch. Immediate dentures can restore a smile right after tooth extraction.

Replacing All Teeth
It is never a fun experience to lose an adult tooth. It is especially scary to lose all of one's permanent teeth. Fortunately, all-teeth replacement options are available. Two of the most common options are traditional dentures and dentures secured by implants.
Traditional full dentures include a full set of prosthetic teeth and are held in place with denture adhesive and natural suction. They must be removed and cleaned every day. In comparison, as the name suggests, dentures secured by implants are affixed to the mouth via implants.
“Conversely, even the most loyal brusher and top-flossing patient can lose permanent teeth.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Should I replace missing teeth?
A. Yes. Missing teeth are an oral health issue, not just an aesthetic issue. Losing just one tooth can cause the bone to deteriorate and muscles to droop.

A. There are several factors to consider when choosing a tooth replacement option. However, no age is too old or too young.
Q. Which is the right tooth replacement option for me?
A. To determine the most effective replacement option for a patient's tooth, we will need to examine the patient's mouth, medical history, and other relevant factors. Since each option offers benefits and changes to one's oral health routine, it is essential to understand the specific details of each. Our team can help to customize the treatment to meet your needs.
Q. Is replacing multiple teeth expensive?
A. It can be, especially without dental insurance. Luckily, we can help figure out the most affordable option for you.
