Types of Dental Implants Portland OR Getting dental implants is a process one must get accustomed to. Just for a bit, it may alter your lifestyle and make you think that you’re missing out on a lot of good food, but worry not because you’ll soon be back on track. One of the ways you can ensure fast recovery is by staying in your comfort zone in one way or another. In this case, you can choose what dental implant you would like to opt for. There are many different types of dental implants. Learn more about who is a candidate for dental implants. Types of ImplantsYou can make a choice between dentures, bridges, and implant-supported bridges. Dr. Hunter will be able to guide you in more detail and also answer any questions you may have, at Hunter Dental Care. DenturesDentures are primarily an artificial set of teeth. Complete dentures include upper and lower sets of teeth. These are removable and specific dentures can also be made to replace missing teeth or hollow spaces. Dentures can be custom-made as per your requirement as well. With dentures, the idea is that you can easily remove them and wear them as per your need. This would be entirely up to you. It may seem convenient, but in the long run, you may get tired of the commitment it requires to sustain the relationship. Dental BridgeWhen you visit us at Hunter Dental Care, our dentist, Dr. Hunter, will explain how dental bridges work. As the name explains, a dental bridge will bridge the gap where your missing tooth is located. This can be done altogether for a set of missing teeth as well. Depending on your case, the bridge is sustained by an artificial tooth or teeth. These bridges may be manufactured from crowns from any side of your missing space. This is to hold some ground and support the artificial tooth. You should opt for a dental bridge if you fear tooth decay. With missing space, you’re more vulnerable to cavities. Over time, you may be exposed to an infection or face a severe case of dental pain. However, you’ll need healthy teeth on at least one side of the focused hole to opt for this option. Implant-Supported BridgesAre you looking for a one-time solution? If so, then implant-supported bridges are the ideal choice for you. With implants, you go through one singular process, and then you’re well on your way to eating what you want. With an implant-supported bridge, Dr. Hunter will place an implant-supported bridge for all teeth that require it.
