The idea of getting false teeth is something that a lot of us may have to consider at some point in our lives. But getting false teeth is not as simple as getting dentures, as there are a few different options to consider, depending on the oral issues and the recommendations of a dental professional. When talking about getting false teeth, Spring Hill residents should become more familiar with their options, so they don’t feel as though there is only one fix for them to consider. Here are some of the more popular types of false teeth that patients may get at some points in their lives.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a very common way that someone can change the look and shape of their real teeth, without the need to have them completely removed and replaced. A dental veneer can be thought about as a covering or a cap for a tooth, but do not get them confused with actual dental caps. When it comes to these false teeth, Spring Hill residents should be made aware that most people cannot tell the difference between real teeth and dental veneers. Dental veneers can even be color matched to look more like the shade of your real teeth, so they aren’t as bright and noticeable.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are more inclusive than a dental veneer, but not as inclusive as a set of dentures. When it comes to these types of false teeth, Spring Hill residents should know that often a bridge affects two to four teeth, sometimes more or less depending on the dental professional that is installing them. Dental bridges are another great way of only getting false teeth for a select few teeth that are having issues, and avoids someone needing to have all of their teeth removed. A dental bridge can be placed onto someone’s mouth for their molars, or even their front teeth, as they are very versatile.
