If you are faced with finding teeth replacement options after the loss or extraction of natural teeth, you will want to work with a dental team offering a variety of restorative dental services. The team at Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry in Pierrefonds, Quebec, can educate you on your options and talk to you about what to expect, depending on your chosen solution. Below are some frequently asked questions we hear about tooth replacement.
At Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry, we’ve got a few options for you to consider. Dental implants, bridges, and dentures are the most common choices. Dentures are removable and can replace entire arches of teeth. Bridges replace one or more teeth and are anchored to your natural teeth. Implants are the most reliable of the choices, as they’re permanent, naturalistic in appearance, and function like natural teeth.
Absolutely! While dental implants can be an investment upfront, they are durable, long-lasting, and super sturdy. Plus, they look and feel like natural teeth, which means you can eat, laugh, and even smile confidently without worry. If you are looking for a one-and-done solution, implants are the way to go.
They sure do! Our modern dentures are made with advanced materials that resemble natural teeth and gums, so no one will know the difference unless you tell them. You can even customize the shade to match your smile perfectly.
A dental bridge relies on the teeth next to the gap, effectively “bridging” the space left behind from the missing tooth, whereas a dental implant is anchored directly into your jawbone. Implants are considered independent restorations, while bridges lean on the neighbouring teeth for support. Both are great options, but it just depends on your specific needs.
Not when they are created properly and customized to the smile. Well-fitting dentures should stay snug and remain in place with suction, denture adhesives, or dental implants. Just make sure you get them properly fitted by Drs. Ramin Mirmooji and Samer Abboud.
Absolutely not. While it might take a few days to adjust to new appliances like dentures or bridges, they should feel comfortable and natural once you have adapted. Your friendly dental team at Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry will make sure everything fits perfectly to avoid any possible discomfort during the adjustment period and afterward.
The answer to this depends on several factors, such as budget, current oral health, and lifestyle. Our team guides you through the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation. No matter what, there is a solution for you that will get your smile back!
