About The Video
In this video, Dr Jo Ann from Dental Designs talks about the main solutions for replacing missing teeth: dentures, bridges, and implants. She explains how each option works, their advantages, and possible downsides, so that patients can make more informed decisions.
Dr Jo Ann also provides some pointers on how to check which option might suit a person. While dentures are cost-effective and non-invasive, bridges may offer a more natural feel if neighbouring teeth are strong. Implants take time and require surgery, but provide a natural and lasting result. The video encourages patients to consider lifestyle, oral health, and budget, and to consult their dentist for personalised advice.
Losing a tooth can affect one's appearance, confidence, and daily function, but modern dentistry offers various effective solutions. While dentures are a removable and affordable choice, especially suitable for multiple missing teeth, they may feel bulky and may need replacing over time. Dental bridges on the other hand, provide a fixed solution that feels closer to natural teeth, but they require shaping the neighbouring teeth and can be more challenging to clean.
Implants are a close alternative to natural teeth as they replace the root with a titanium post and support a crown, aiming to restore both function and aesthetics. However, implants require surgery, healthy bone structure, and a longer healing period, which makes them more of an investment. The suitable choice for you depends on your individual needs, dental condition, and budget considerations. Consulting a dentist can allow you to receive personalised recommendations that suit your situation.
