Missing teeth at birth can pose unique challenges

Missing teeth at birth can pose unique challenges, but there are several effective options for tooth replacement. In this case this young woman had 2 front teeth missing at birth. We determined that the best option for her was a fixed bridge after ortho treatment. There are multiple options that could have been considered such as implants or removable partials.

Here are some important considerations before opting for a bridge:

Dental Bridges:
- A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth.
- Benefits: Fixed solution; can restore function and aesthetics.
- Considerations: Requires alteration of drilling teeth, which may compromise their structure long term. This is permanent.

In this case, the result was gorgeous, using the best materials and ceramists. The patient was thrilled with the results.
