Teeth can be lost for various reasons, with periodontal disease, dental decay, and trauma being the three major causes. There are three main methods for replacing missing teeth: implants, bridges, or removable dentures. Implants are considered state-of-the-art and are commonly used when the patient is a good candidate; however, in some cases, implants may not be an option.

Another alternative for replacing missing teeth is a fixed prosthesis, also known as a “crown and bridge.” This treatment allows the dentist to provide artificial teeth that are both aesthetic and non-removable. Patients can care for these much like their natural teeth. Feel free to contact Dr. Yosi Behroozan to discuss which tooth replacement option is best for you.
