Hello,
I’m Dr. Jayalalakshmi,your Dentist.
This post is meant to remove your worries that may crop up if there is a likelihood of losing your teeth arising out of causes such as gum disease, tooth decay, injury. You can read it after getting relaxed by watching my video, which is more symbolic in nature. This is done so to make it interesting for you with a visual presentation.
Here is the link to the #video
Let me now straight away suggest you the options.
#Dental implants
It is an ideal option, if there is a need for you to replace a single tooth or when several teeth are missing in different areas of your mouth. The procedure for this treatment is mounting of ‘titanium post’ into your upper or lower jaw, wherein the tooth to be replaced is mounted to the implant .This allows the tooth to remain in place and intact.
The utility of dental implant is it provides a permanent base for replacement of the tooth or teeth as the case may be. The major advantage is that the replaced tooth/teeth would resemble a natural tooth and can last for a life time. Another merit with dental implant is that it does not mess around with other teeth like a bridge.

#Fixed Dental Bridge
Fixed dental bridge comes in handy when the missing tooth/teeth take place in the same area. Functionally, it bridges the gap caused by a missing tooth with a dental prosthetic or artificial tooth. It is adjusted to the adjacent tooth and then bonded using a dental cement.
Again, the advantage with this treatment is also that it would give a feel and tough of a natural tooth. It has an aesthetic quality also in that it would improve the appearance by evenly fitting on either side of the space.
There is only a little cost difference between Dental Implant replacement option and fixed dental bridge.
#Removable partial dentures
I recommend this if you need to replace few of your teeth. This treatment consists of replacement of teeth attached to a naturally-appearing pink base. The process is that the natural teeth stabilise and would hold the removable plastic base in place. The base is designed to match your gums and the colour of your natural teeth.
As in the previous treatments, the removal partial dentures also look and feel natural in the mouth and they are also relatively less expensive, as well, as amenable to replace when compared with other replacement options.
