An  implant holds natural-looking crowns and bridges securely in the mouth  without requiring clasps or reducing neighboring teeth. This enables you  to talk and chew easily, and it preserves your beautiful smile.<\/p>\n<p>Wearing a partial denture<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">A  partial denture can replace one or more missing teeth. A partial is  held in place by clasps or special attachments, and it is removable for  sleeping and cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>Wearing a bridge<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">A  bridge might also be an alternative. There are several types, but they  are all permanently anchored to neighboring teeth. This requires us to  reduce the anchoring teeth, even if they are healthy, and reducing  healthy teeth can sometimes lead to decay and root canal therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Delaying treatment<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">If  you are thinking about delaying treatment, you should know that without  teeth and tooth roots, the jawbone in that area gradually shrinks. This  weakens the jaw and changes your appearance. The longer you delay, the  more the jawbone will shrink, making future treatment more complex.<br \/>\nIn  addition, teeth need each other for support. Missing teeth can lead to a  chain reaction of dental problems, including shifting teeth, increased  risk for tooth decay and periodontal disease, and changes in the bite  that can lead to painful problems with your jaw joints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Treatment alternatives When you\u2019re missing one or more teeth, you have several choices for replacing them: Wear a partial denture Wear a bridge Delay treatment Wear an implant-supported crown or bridge Unlike partial dentures and bridges, an implant replaces the roots of missing teeth, so it helps maintain the health and shape of the jawbone.
