Why Replace Missing Teeth?
If the gaps left from missing or lost teeth are not filled soon enough, some problems may occur, including:
- Crooked teeth
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Bone loss
- Speech problems
- Shifting teeth
- Facial sagging
- Gum recession
If you have noticed any of these dental problems, call Dr. Gittleman and his team at Morristown Cosmetic Dentistry at (973) 287-3337.
Restorative Dental Treatments
Dental Implants
A single dental implant is made of a titanium post that is inserted into the jaw bone. This post is covered with an abutment and dental crown after it is implanted. Over a healing period of 3 to 6 months, the implant fuses to bone tissue. Dental implants are a stable restoration that can last for a long time when cared for properly.
Dental Bridges
If you have multiple gaps in your smile, you can benefit from dental bridges. Patients with a solid tooth structure are the best candidates for this treatment, although tooth grafting is a possibility. Dental bridges can be secured with dental implants for a more secure result, and adjacent natural teeth can also be used to support a dental bridge.
Dentures
Patients who are missing multiple teeth or even whole arches of teeth may want to try dentures. Like dental bridges, dentures can be secured with dental implants for a stable fit. Patients who receive dentures often find that it is easier for them to bite, chew, and speak with the appliance in their mouths. For information about the dentures we offer to new and existing patients, visit Dentures & Partials.
