Missing teeth can impact not only your ability to chew and speak but also your self-confidence. At Tolland Hill Family Dental, serving patients in Wellington and Ellington, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions for missing teeth, ensuring that each patient can find the right option to regain a full, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Dental Implant Solutions
- Single Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing one or more missing teeth, a single tooth implant involves a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a new root. After integration with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, providing a natural-looking and functional tooth replacement.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: For those missing multiple teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a stable and aesthetically pleasing solution. Unlike traditional bridges, these are anchored to implants, providing enhanced support and reducing the number of implants needed for multiple missing teeth.
Traditional Dental Bridges
For patients with missing teeth flanked by natural teeth, traditional bridges are an effective solution. These bridges consist of one or more pontics (artificial teeth) held in place by crowns cemented onto the adjacent natural teeth.
Prettau Full Mouth Bridges
The Prettau implant bridge, ideal for those missing multiple teeth, is supported by dental implants and made from zirconia. This option provides a more secure and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional dentures, stimulating the gums and jawbone to maintain their health and structure.
Denture Options
- Conventional Full Dentures: Placed after any remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed, offering a full replacement for all teeth in an arch.
- Immediate Full Dentures: Inserted immediately after tooth removal, with adjustments needed as the mouth heals and reshapes.
- Partial Dentures: A removable option for those with some remaining natural teeth, partial dentures are attached to a metal framework and can be anchored to natural teeth with crowns.
