Modern versus traditional solutions Ask you dentist about the various methods available to replace a missing tooth. A traditional bridge: is an old fashioned solution to fill a toothgap. It is secured by having healthy teeth on either side ground down, so the crowns are placed over them for security. Those crowns are attached to the bridge to make a solid row of teeth. Today‘s modern implant solution: A missing tooth can be replaced by a dental implant without altering the healthy adjacent teeth. The implant mimics your dental root. Once the implant is placed, a post (or abutment) is attached providing support for your final crown. This method does not affect your other healthy adjacent teeth. A ceramic crown is then placed on your implant. It is individually made to match the shade and contour of your natural teeth so practically no one can tell the difference.
