Options for Replacing Missing Teeth

Removable Partial Denture (Flipper)

Removable appliance made of an acrylic or metal framework that is a valid short term option for missing teeth. The drawbacks are comfort and long term stability.

Dental Bridge (Fixed Denture)

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device to replace missing teeth by using the neighboring teeth as anchors to hold the missing tooth in place.

Dental Implant

Dental implants are the best long term solution to replace missing teeth. They are the most stable and you do not need to compromise any neighboring teeth.

Removable Dentures

Traditional acrylic dentures may be a good option for some. They restore aesthetics but they are not the best option for stability when eating and functioning.

Implant-Retained Overdentures

A hybrid between traditional dentures and implant-supported dentures. The dentures are removable for easier hygiene, and they snap into implants for support.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are the best option for withstanding the everyday forces from chewing and biting. They are a great permanent option if you have no teeth.
