Popular teeth replacement options

At  LAGOS Periodontics & Dental Implants, we offer the following treatments to replace your missing teeth;

• Dental bridges

A dental bridge is comprised of artificial teeth that fill the space where one or more teeth are missing. The bridge is anchored in the mouth by dental implants or small titanium roots. Because these dental implants are anchored directly to healthy bone tissue, they offer the highest level of stability for artificial teeth. This requires the alteration of your natural teeth on either side of the gap, so the bridge can be cemented in place. Two dental crowns will be placed on the teeth on either side of the gap, and fake teeth will fill the gap in between.

• Dental implants

Dental implants are a secure, permanent solution to replacing missing teeth. They are also the only treatment that prevents jawbone shrinkage, which occurs when teeth are missing. Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone. A dental crown is then placed on top of the dental implant, completing the tooth replacement process.

• Dental crowns

A dental crown is a type of restoration that covers a tooth that has a large cavity or is broken. It restores the tooth's shape, size, and appearance.
