Do you have gaps in your smile? Many U.S. adults are missing one or more teeth. You probably already know that missing teeth detract from an attractive smile. You may be self-conscious about your smile. Do you cover your mouth when you laugh? Perhaps you keep your mouth closed when someone takes a picture of you.

There have never been as many options for tooth restoration.
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is used where a tooth is missing. Aptly named, it “bridges” a gap between teeth. It is a restoration with a false tooth (or teeth) attached to the surrounding teeth. Dental bridges have been used with success for generations of dental patients who have lost teeth for various reasons.
A Tooth Implant Replaces the Root Also
An implant consists of an artificial tooth PLUS an artificial root (usually biocompatible titanium). A dental implant is a more extensive replacement for a missing tooth.
With local anesthesia, your dentist anchors the artificial root into the jaw bone. In the following months, it integrates and meshes with the jaw bone tissue.
There are three components of a dental implant: the artificial root or post, the connecting abutment, and the final crown or denture. An implant is often the ideal restoration as it offers beauty, strength, and natural function. In addition, it offers something many patients don’t realize is important: protection from bone recession that often take places at the site of a missing tooth.
Traditional and Implant Supported Dentures
Most men and women have heard of dentures: a plate holding artificial teeth that can be removed by the wearer. These are individually-constructed and can contain varying numbers of teeth. Sometimes the entire set of upper and lower teeth have to be extracted and a custome denture created. Modern dentistry offers a myriad of custom dental implant-denture combinations to restore missing teeth.
Dental Veneers
If you still have your teeth, but are not comfortable with them, a dental veneer might be a great answer that preserves the health tooth structure. Beatiful porcelain veneers can remedy uneven color, oddly sized, or slightly misshapen teeth.
A veneer is a thin shell that your dentist bonds to the front of the teeth. In other words, a dental veneer can upgrade unsightly, but structurally sound teeth.
