Not only are those gaps embarrassing, but they can also make it difficult for you to chew properly and speak clearly. Really, you have every reason to replace your missing pearly whites. But what are your options for filling in those spaces? Your dentist in Jacksonville is here to explain a few treatments that may be a fit for your circumstances.\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dental Implants<\/h2>\r\nDental implants in Jacksonville<\/a> are small cylinders, usually made of titanium, that a dentist surgically inserts into the jawbone. They serve to replace the roots of missing teeth. Once they\u2019re in place, you\u2019ll receive restorations (artificial teeth) to go on top of them. This whole-tooth replacement treatment helps to preserve the bone in your jaw and can provide you with a natural-looking and sturdy smile that lasts for the rest of your life. Dental implants are a flexible solution for missing teeth; they can replace one tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch.\r\n

Hybridge Implant-Retained Dentures<\/h2>\r\nHybridge is a dental implant company that has revolutionized the tooth replacement process. They craft high-quality implants, restorations, and abutments (which connect the implants to the restorations). They also train dentists on how to navigate implant treatment in a way that minimizes complications and produces the strongest, most aesthetically pleasing results possible.\r\n\r\nAlthough Hybridge offers single and multi-tooth replacement, their focus is on full-mouth reconstruction (implant-retained dentures that replace an entire arch of teeth). At Jacksonville Dental Specialists, we are proud to serve as your local Hybridge-certified restorative dentist.\r\n

Fixed Dental Bridges and Traditional Dentures<\/h2>\r\nA traditional fixed bridge is supported by crowns that go on top of the teeth that are adjacent to the gap in a smile. Although these bridges are aesthetically pleasing and can last for a decade or longer, they do nothing to replace the tooth root. Therefore, you will still experience bone deterioration in the jaw.\r\n\r\nTraditional dentures, which sit on top of the gums, can work quite well to provide you with a sturdy bite and attractive appearance. However, they tend to last just a few years because changes in the shape of the jaw affect the way the prosthesis fits.\r\n

Which Option Is Best for You?<\/h2>\r\nIf you would like to find out which multi-tooth replacement option is right for you, we warmly invite you to visit us for a consultation. After our highly trained specialists evaluate your oral health and explain the pros and cons of each treatment option, you\u2019ll be able to make an informed and confident decision about whether basic implants, a Hybridge dental implant denture in Jacksonville, or a traditional prosthesis is the best way for you to gain a restored smile.\r\n\r\nAbout the Author<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDr. Matthew Nawrocki is a certified prosthodontist who specializes in crafting beautiful, functional tooth restorations. He derives great satisfaction from helping his patients regain their missing teeth.
