Dental Bridges
One of the most common methods for replacing single and multiple consecutive missing teeth is through dental bridges. This restoration is made up of two crowns fused on the either side of free-standing replacement teeth, called pontics. The crowns on either end are designed to fit on top of existing natural teeth nearby the gap in your smile. The pontics in between fill the gap and complete your smile. With regular at-home oral hygiene and professional checkups, your bridge should last 10 to 15 years without worry.

Dental Implants
When you want to replace the tooth and the root, dental implants are the best treatment option for you. Each dental implant comes with a titanium post that is placed directly into the jaw. This is followed by an abutment (which acts as a connector) for the eventual permanent restoration. Offering the best esthetics, comfort and functionality, dental implants do take a long time to receive because of their integration process. However, they also last several decades as a result.
