Tooth extractions can leave an unsightly gap in your smile, but there are effective solutions to consider. From temporary fixes to permanent treatments, here’s how to fill that gap after tooth extraction:
- Dental Implants: This is the most permanent solution. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, and after healing, a crown is attached.
- Bridges: Dental bridges use adjacent teeth as anchors and fill the gap with a false tooth, providing a natural appearance.
- Partial Dentures: Removable partial dentures offer a less invasive and more affordable option, ideal for multiple missing teeth.
- Bone Grafting: If bone loss is an issue, bone grafting can provide the necessary support for implants or bridges.
Consult your dentist to determine which solution best fits your needs and budget. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining your new smile.
