Dental implants:
– Description: Titanium posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone and act as artificial tooth roots.
– Advantages: They provide a permanent solution, look like natural teeth, and help maintain jaw health.
Bridges:
– Description: A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored to adjacent teeth using crowns.
– Advantages: Bridges remain firmly in place, restoring chewing function and improving aesthetics.
False teeth:
– Description: Removable appliances that can be complete (replacement of all teeth) or partial (replacement of certain teeth).
– Advantages: They are less invasive and can be a cost-effective option for replacing multiple teeth.
Plastic Bonded Bridges (Maryland Bridges):
– Description: This is a false tooth with metal wings attached to the back of adjacent teeth.
– Advantages: Less invasive than traditional bridges, preserving even more of the natural tooth structure.
