Implant Options for Multiple Missing Teeth in Colorado Springs, CO
Your One Stop Dental Private Practice in Colorado Springs, CO
Multiple Tooth Replacement Options
Dr. Seth Kimmelman’s Downtown Colorado Springs Dental office offers multiple options for replacing several front or back teeth.
Tooth Replacement Options Overview
The three most common options for missing more than one tooth include the traditional tooth-supported bridge, a removable partial denture, or implant-supported crowns or bridgework.
The benefits of implant-supported teeth are significantly increased in these situations; they include:
- Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- Dental implants are much more stable & comfortable than partial dentures
- Chewing ability and your bite remain intact so that you can eat and speak properly
- Bone resorption & deterioration is virtually stopped
- The facial structures stay the same – no sunken face appearance
- Adjacent teeth are not reshaped to fit a bridge, maintaining tooth structure
Implant Process and Benefits
Implants are perfect for tooth replacement, eliminating the need to reshape or grind down healthy adjacent teeth to support traditional crown and bridge therapy.
Dental implants are placed in the bone below the gum tissue. Like single tooth replacements, there will be a healing phase after placing the implants.
After healing, the abutments are attached to the implants, and impressions are taken to make handmade, beautiful custom crowns or bridges.
In the final step, the custom teeth – crowns or bridges will be cemented onto the abutments. The teeth have been replaced without disturbing the teeth next to them, and bone loss has been significantly reduced.
