\"smiling<\/a>If you have one or more missing teeth, then you are well aware of the challenges. Eating certain foods may be difficult. Depending on which teeth are missing, you may have trouble pronouncing some words. And your smile just won\u2019t look the same. Fortunately, there are several good options for tooth replacement in Odessa. Read to learn more about these and how your dentist can work with a specialist to ensure your complete satisfaction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Implant-Retained Dental Crowns<\/h2>\n

For a single missing tooth, there\u2019s really nothing like an implant-retained dental crown. A dental implant\u00a0<\/a>is designed to mimic the natural construction of a tooth. A specialist will surgically position the implant in your jawbone beneath the socket of your missing tooth. Over the months of healing, this post will fuse together with the surrounding bone tissue. Once secure, you\u2019ll return to your dentist to have a customized porcelain crown attached to the dental implant in Odessa.<\/p>\n

Fixed Bridges<\/h2>\n

Another excellent choice for tooth replacement is a fixed bridge. This combines the security of dental crowns with the beauty of natural looking false teeth.<\/p>\n

Teeth on both sides of the gap in your smile are prepped for dental crowns. With a bridge, these crowns support the false teeth, or pontics, that complete your smile. The crowns and false teeth are made as one unit, making your fixed bridge a strong and durable prosthetic that will last for many years.<\/p>\n

Dentures<\/h2>\n

Dentures today are nothing like what they used to be. Today\u2019s materials and manufacturing techniques make this tooth replacement more lifelike than ever.<\/p>\n

Basically, dentures are a row of false teeth that are mounted to an acrylic base shaded to look like you natural gum tissue. Careful measurements of your mouth as well as impressions are taken to make sure your dentures rest evenly and comfortably along your gum ridge.<\/p>\n

Although a combination of muscle tension in your cheeks and natural suction hold your dentures in place, you may want to use an adhesive for added security.<\/p>\n

All-On-4<\/h2>\n

All-On-4 refers to a replacement system that combines the strength of dental implants with the function of a denture. During this procedure, four slightly smaller dental implants are positioned along your jaw. During the healing process, you\u2019ll wear a temporary denture, so you\u2019re never without teeth. After about six to nine months, we\u2019ll exchange your temporary denture for a permanent one that is custom made for you.<\/p>\n
