Dental crowns and bridges offer a solution to missing teeth. The cost of dental crowns depends upon the quality of the skill of the dental surgeon in preparing and fitting the work , the quality of the dental laboratory used and the quality of materials used to manufacture the unit.
Dental Crowns are caps made to fit over an existing tooth. They are often recommended following a root canal filling to protect the remaining tooth whose strength is often compromised by the extensive decay and infection that may have been present.
Bridges are units of false teeth that are fixed by a dental surgeon to remaining natural teeth to fill a gap. A bridge may take the place of one or more missing teeth and the results can be excellent with good function and aesthetic results. With careful maintenance a well-made bridge can last many years. The bone in the jaw surrounding the missing tooth or teeth can continue to recede.
Dentures remain a cost effective method by which a dental surgeon may replace missing teeth by providing the patient with a removable appliance. Dentures can provide patients with a reliable biting and chewing function and acceptable appearance. The main disadvantages with the dentures are they are sometimes difficult to tolerate. A denture will also be subject to slippage during speech and normal movement of the mouth. The bone in the jaw surrounding the missing tooth or teeth continues to recede, and this can lead to a gradual collapse of the lower profile of the face. The Biofunctional Prosthetics System offers a new approach to dentures which may be of interest.
