If you’ve lost teeth or are about to have some extracted, you face many new limitations. You might only be able to eat soft foods because eating anything else causes discomfort. You might not be able to speak clearly and naturally. You can smile, but the idea embarrasses you—especially if the missing teeth are in your smile zone. If tooth loss leads to bone recession, your face may even take on a sunken, aged appearance.
Many solutions to recover your smile include dental bridges and dental implants, which offer the function and aesthetics of natural teeth, jaw protection, and unequaled longevity. You may be surprised at how quickly you can eat, speak, laugh, and smile again once our team replaces your teeth at Liberty Dental Implants. If you have failing or missing teeth in Spokane Valley, WA, reach out, and we’ll help you find the tooth replacement solution for a complete, confident, and healthy smile.
Dental bridges are frequently the first solution many patients think of for one missing tooth or a series of missing teeth. Dental bridges are made of crowns that span the gap left behind by tooth loss. When placing your dental bridge in Spokane Valley, WA, the enamel of one or more adjacent teeth (abutment teeth) at the bridge’s foundation must be removed. Once placed, this solution is esthetic and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting.
Dentures are a time-tested, economical solution to tooth loss. They fit over your gums and stay in place through suction or adhesive creams but can also be removed. You can have full or partial dentures; full dentures cover entire arches of teeth, essentially replacing all your teeth, while partial dentures take the place of a few missing teeth in a row or throughout an arch.
For additional stability, dental implants can anchor dentures in your jawbone. Implant-supported dentures won’t slip out of place or irritate your gums and offer healthy bone stimulation. They also enable you to eat more foods than standard dentures.
The best overall tooth replacement option available today is dental implants. They are the most natural-looking solution that can last decades with proper care. Dental implants can replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch of teeth. Comprised partly of artificial tooth roots, they protect your jawbone from deterioration and thus your facial shape from changing. Moreover, they allow you to eat anything you want—hard foods, sticky foods, chewy foods, and whatever your favorites might be.
