Advantages and Disadvantages of Teeth Replacement Options
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide the appearance of natural teeth and offer other benefits, as well. Other benefits include:
- Not affecting nearby teeth
- High success rates
- Requiring less maintenance
- Sturdiness
However, dental implants also have their own unique set of disadvantages, such as:
- Costliness
- May have a long recovery period
- Require surgery
Bridges
For patients who only need one or two teeth replaced, bridges may be the solution. Bridges are held in place by teeth or implants on either side of the false teeth. Artificial teeth can be crafted from materials such as gold but are usually made from porcelain to match the shade of the surrounding teeth.
Unlike removable teeth replacement options, we fix bridges to the teeth. This process can help bridges function more effectively than other treatments. Bridges do not require a patient's jawbone to be of a particular shape or strength. There are a few different types of bridges we recommend based on a patient's individual needs:
- Traditional Dental Bridge. With this type of dental bridge, we place a crown on each adjacent tooth to hold the bridge in place.
- Maryland Dental Bridge. Unlike a traditional dental bridge that is attached to crowns on each tooth, we will bind a Maryland dental bridge onto the natural teeth with either metal or porcelain.
- Cantilever Dental Bridge. If a patient only has one tooth adjoining their dental gap, such as in the back of the mouth, we may recommend a cantilever dental bridge, where we will place one crown on the adjacent tooth to secure the false teeth.
- Implant-Supported Dental Bridge. This treatment is effective for patients who do not have adjoining teeth near the dental gap.
There are many advantages to dental bridges, including the ability to:
- Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
- Restore facial structure
- Restore the ability to speak normally
- Restore the smile
Of course, there are also some potential disadvantages as well. These include the possibility of:
- Bacteria and plaque getting inside if the crowns are ill-fitting
- Collapsing of the bridge if the abutment teeth are not strong enough
- Crowns changing the structure of the teeth
- Damage to the abutment teeth compromising the bridge
“Bridges do not require a patient’s jawbone to be of a particular shape or strength.”
Implants
Implants are among the most popular multiple teeth replacement options available. Getting implants is a wise move for patients looking to restore their smile without others noticing the artificial teeth. Implants closely resemble the color of the surrounding natural teeth. Implants allow the patient to once again eat just about any food. This replacement option does not need surviving roots as the implant screw will serve this purpose.
The dental team will begin by taking X-rays and molds of the person's mouth. These go to a lab where a technician custom-makes the implants. The dental professional will then numb the patient, make an incision in the gums, and insert a screw deep into the jawbone. The patient will undergo a healing process before our team can move onto the next step, which can take several months. Then, an abutment, or a post, will attach to the screw and the dentist will place the false top on the post.
Implants are made of titanium and can last for 20 years or longer. These are comfortable and can restore the person's biting function. However, the surgery can be difficult. The cost is typically higher than other options, so patients with multiple missing teeth may wish to consider alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Should I replace missing teeth?
A. Yes. Missing teeth are an oral health issue, not just an aesthetic issue. Losing just one tooth can cause the bone to deteriorate and muscles to droop.
Q. Does age affect my tooth replacement options?
A. There are several factors to consider when choosing a tooth replacement option. However, no age is too old or too young.
Q. Which is the right tooth replacement option for me?
A. To determine the most effective replacement option for a patient's tooth, we will need to examine the patient's mouth, medical history, and other relevant factors. Since each option offers benefits and changes to one's oral health routine, it is essential to understand the specific details of each. Our team can help to customize the treatment to meet your needs.
Q. Is replacing multiple teeth expensive?
A. It can be, especially without dental insurance. Luckily, we can help figure out the most affordable option for you.
Q. Does multiple teeth replacement hurt?
A. The answer depends on the tooth replacement option you choose. The doctor can help give you a better idea of what to expect during a one-on-one consultation.
Q. How often do I see a dentist after replacing my teeth?
A. Everyone should visit their dentist once or twice a year for annual checkups. Some patients may require more trips to the dentist than others. Ask our team for a more complete idea of what to expect after replacing your teeth.
