Replace Teeth with Abington Restorative Dentistry
Gain a Complete Smile!
If you currently have missing teeth, then you’re probably very aware of the issues they can cause. In addition to making you feel self-conscious, they might even be preventing you from speaking clearly or eating comfortably. Plus, what you may not know is that they can actually make you much more vulnerable to developing additional dental problems, such as gum disease, which in itself is the leading cause of tooth loss for American adults!
At Abington Family Dental Care, we have a variety of treatments that can help you say “goodbye” to the gaps in your smile. Whether you are missing a single tooth, all of your teeth or you simply want to get rid of your uncomfortable denture, you can rely on us to have what you need.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are quickly becoming the most common way to replace missing teeth. Unlike other treatments, dental implants actually restore an entire tooth’s structure both above and below the gum line. They not only give the replacement teeth unmatched stability and strength, but they also support the jaw so that it maintains its shape over time. They can be used to support a variety of prosthetics that can replace any number of teeth, and thanks to their 95% success rate and 30-year lifespan, they are also one of the most reliable solutions as well.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are one of the most versatile treatments used in all of dentistry. A crown is a tooth-shaped restoration that simply fits over the top of a broken or decayed tooth, and it can improve a tooth’s shape, size, and color as well as restore its lost structure and strength. Each one is completely custom-made for every patient, and you can get one in as little as two appointments. They can even be used to replace missing teeth by forming a dental bridge.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge can be used to replace a single missing tooth or even a row of consecutive missing teeth. It works by placing two crowns on either side of the gap in your smile and bonding them to prosthetic teeth that literally “bridge” the space between them. Thanks to the advanced materials used, they’ll not only make your smile look fantastic, but they’ll also prevent your teeth from shifting into the open space and causing alignment issues.
Full Dentures
A full denture can help you if you are missing an entire arch of teeth. It is made of a row of prosthetic teeth attached to a realistic-looking gum-colored base, and it’s held in place using natural suction or a small amount of denture adhesive. Thanks to advances in the field of dental prosthetics and our team’s dedication to detail, we’ll make sure you get a denture that has the perfect look and fit for you.
Partial Dentures
If you are missing multiple teeth throughout your mouth, a partial denture may be exactly what you need to smile with confidence again. It consists of prosthetic teeth attached to an acrylic, gum-colored based that will fit among your remaining teeth like the missing piece of a puzzle. It is held in place using small metal clasps that attach to your natural teeth, and it can be easily removed whenever you need to clean them or sleep.
If you’re tired of hiding your smile or limiting your food choices because of your missing teeth, Abington Family Dental Care can help.
