It will be so awkward when you lose your tooth that too your front tooth. One couldn't talk properly, smile with their heart when a tooth found missing. But there are many options to replace those missing teeth easily and you can restore your smile. Here are a few tooth replacement options you can opt based on your health and other terms. 1. Have patience and stay calm It's nothing wrong to have an empty space in your mouth. Moreover, if a gap is maintained for a longer period then the adjacent teeth will shift to fill the space nearby. It also becomes easy for you to clean that space. And you will be really lucky by doing nothing for your missing teeth instead of getting toxic materials into your body by following any of the below methods. 2. Removable Denture When you lose your front teeth, it will really be embarrassing for you even to smile and converse with someone. A removable denture is something that you wear during your day time and you can remove it during your bedtime. These removable partial dentures need metal support for your teeth to stay in your mouth which are visible clearly whenever you speak. Another disadvantage is that the denture may shift a little whenever you speak or when you eat which makes you feel uncomfortable. 3. Bridgework For decades, a tradition bridgework is always a solution for a missing tooth. The basic strategy of the traditional bridgework is that the teeth on either side of the gap are grounded down in order to attach the fixed bridge. But a major problem with this method is that if any one of the anchor teeth is moved a little, you lose the entire bridge i.e all the three teeth. Another problem is that you will be unable to clean under the bridge. 4. Implants Implants are the next option to replace the missing tooth. A dentist will place a screw-shaped titanium metal on the place where your tooth is missing. Once your body accepts the metal that is placed, your dentist will then place a crown over it. The problem with implants is that people may allergic to titanium metal, which is a very rare scenario. Zirconia, a crystal shaped non-metal came to the rescue for the patients who are allergic to titanium. But still, since zirconia is the method introduced recently there are no proven records that zirconia will last for many years whereas there are many studies and records convey that titanium implant lasts for about 30 years. 5. Removable bridge Removable bridge option is the least opted method in this high tech dental industry yet it will be helpful to replace your missing teeth. These removabe bridges are fixed into the gum tissue and it is easily removable. You can remove the bridge and clean it once after you eat. It takes some time for you to go with the bridges as it feels uncomfortable at the first. You must be keen on your bridges while eating as they may fall off as they are not cemented in place. It is better if you approach the dentist nearby, so that you will get better idea and options that well suits for you. Any of the above mentioned options will be done to replace your missing tooth based on your oral condition and the condition of your gums and bones.
