2If you have several gaps in your gum line due to
missing teeth, it is important to have these
teeth replaced with artificial ones.

3Not replacing the teeth can cause the other teeth
to start to shift and move, which can create gaps
in-between the remaining teeth, as well as cause
them to become crooked.

4In cases where you are missing teeth on the
bottom gums and you still have teeth above these
locations, not replacing the teeth with an
artificial one can cause the upper teeth to fall
out! How?

5The lower teeth actually work to help keep the
upper teeth in place. When this lower support
is no longer there, the teeth can slowly start to
drop down.

6Overtime, it will start to become loose and
eventually fall out, creating more missing teeth.

7One option available at our Thunder Bay dental
clinic for replacing a few missing teeth, in
cases where they are located next to or near each
other, is to get a dental bridge,

8which is also called a partial denture plate. In
recent years, there have been advances in dental
technologies, and the types of dental bridges you
can select from to replace missing teeth.

9In the past, one doubt people held about partial
denture plates was how they were secured to
adjacent (abutment) teeth. Small metal clips
would be placed onto the plate and used to hold
it in place.

10Over time, from the increased pressure on the
abutment teeth and the wear and tear from the
clips, these teeth would crack, break, and
eventually need to be extracted.

11Another fear people had was the fact the metal
clip could be noticeable if the abutment teeth
were in the front of the mouth.

12It was not easy to hide the clip and if they
smiled, others would know they were wearing some
type of denture.

13Depending upon the age of the person wearing the
dental bridge, it could affect their self-esteem,
confidence, and desire to have their picture
taken.

14Fortunately today, these fears and doubts no
longer have to be an issue. One of the latest
advances in dental bridges in Thunder Bay is to
use an implant-supported dental bridge.

15This artificial tooth replacement procedure is
where two implants are installed at each end of
the section of missing teeth, and then an over
dental bridge is secured onto the implants.

16The main benefit of an over dental bridge is it
does not require using abutment teeth to secure
it in place. This alleviates the concerns of
falling into an endless cycle

17where the abutment teeth would have to be
extracted and new ones used, until eventually the
person could possible lose all of their teeth.

18For people, who are missing a single tooth or two
teeth right next to each other, single implants
are also a viable alternative to traditional
dental bridges.
