Have you lost a few of your teeth? Rather than put up with the embarrassment and daily inconveniences of tooth loss, you may be thinking about visiting your dentist to discuss your tooth replacement options. Either a dental bridge or a partial denture may be a suitable solution for you, but is one better than the other? A partial denture is a custom-made, removable prosthetic that fits around the remaining natural teeth. Small metal attachments help it to remain secure during eating and speaking. Partial dentures can enable you to enjoy most types of foods without worry, even though they are not as secure as fixed types of tooth replacement. A fixed bridge or a fixed partial denture, is not removable. Rather, it has crowns that are permanently attached to the teeth adjacent to the empty space in your mouth (the abutment teeth). Placing the bridge requires that the abutment teeth be slightly modified in order to fit well beneath the crowns. Bridges can be constructed out of various materials, including gold, alloys, or porcelain. Patients usually find eating with and caring for their fixed bridge easy. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and then let you know which type of tooth replacement they believe would suit you best. They will take into account such things as the extent of your tooth loss and the health of your remaining teeth before they make a treatment recommendation. Both bridges and partial dentures are sound tooth replacement options. The one that is best for you depends on your unique circumstances.
