If you\u2019re dealing with tooth loss, then you likely know exactly how many teeth you\u2019re missing. Whether that number is one, three, five or even all of your teeth, dental implants in Arlington can restore the form and function of your smile. Read on to learn about the different ways\u00a0dental implants<\/a>can be used to replace your missing teeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Single Tooth Replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are missing one tooth\u2014regardless of where the gap is in your smile\u2014a dental implant in Arlington is truly the best option for replacement. More that any other type of replacement, a single tooth implant most closely imitates the natural structure of a tooth. The implanted post stands in for a tooth root in your jaw, and a customized porcelain crown substitutes for the portion that everyone sees above the gum line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replace Multiple Missing Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For patients that are missing between two and four teeth in a row, there is an implant-retained bridge. Like a traditional crown and bridge prosthetic, this is designed to suspend false teeth across the gap in your smile. However, instead of using abutment teeth for support, the bridge is held firmly in place with two dental implants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implant-Retained Dentures for a Complete Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are missing all of your teeth, then you want dentures that are natural looking and comfortable. You also want your dentures to feel secure. Implant-retained dentures offer the security of dental implants and the attractive appearance of a full set of teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please don\u2019t think that complete dentures means that you must have a jaw full of dental implants. To the contrary, depending on your particular situation, you may only need two dental implants to secure a removable lower denture, and as few as two to four implants can hold a full, permanent set of top or lower teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
