When you learn a whole bunch of new terminology because you’re planning on receiving dental implants, you will find that it’s easy to get things mixed up. First, you learn all about implants and their different parts and processes. Then, you learn about restorations, what they are, the options offered to you, and your vocabulary seems to keep growing. To ensure you have a solid handle on the different ways you may restore your implant (or implants) when replacing missing teeth, we would love for you to take a brief quiz. If you’ve got anything mixed up, you’ll set it straight in an instant!
Quiz Questions: True or False?
- True or False: When you’re selecting the replacement for just one single tooth, you’re going to restore the implant you have placed with a dental crown.
- True or False: A denture is going to allow you to replace many of your missing teeth at once but not all of them on a single arch.
- True or False: If you choose a bridge or partial to restore your dental implants, these are both terms that mean the same thing. Bridges and partials are both devices replacing two to three missing teeth. The teeth in question reside next to one another.
Quiz Answers
- True. That’s all you need! One dental implant and one crown will replace an entire tooth.
- False. Good news: Implant retained dentures replace a full arch of teeth all at once.
- False. They are not the exact same thing. Partials can address very complex partial tooth loss concerns (and can replace more than three teeth at a time). Bridges will replace one, two, or three teeth (only if they are situated next to one another).
