Tooth Replacement
Replacing missing teeth is important for maintaining optimal chewing function, preserving facial structure, and preventing issues such as bone loss and misalignment of the teeth.
At Anokhi Dental we offer several solutions for replacing missing teeth.They include:
Metal-free dentures:
Made from a flexible, nylon-like material, these dentures are lightweight and more adaptable compared to traditional denture materials. This flexibility means a more comfortable fit and a visually appealing appearance. They are also less prone to breakage, irritation, or allergic reactions, especially for those with metal allergies and are a cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth.
Dental bridges:
These replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or implants. They restore chewing function, prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, and enhance the smile’s appearance. With proper care, bridges can last for many years, providing a durable and reliable solution.
Dental Implants:
A dental implant is a titanium or zirconia post that’s surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. It serves as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. We refer our patients to a specialist we work with who performs the implant placement surgery. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant, creating a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth.
Once the implant has integrated into the bone, you will be referred back to us for the restoration phase. We will design and affix a custom-made crown or bridge onto the implant, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement for the missing tooth or teeth.
