Restorative Options for Replacing Lost Teeth

Living with tooth loss is never a good idea because your teeth depend on each other for health, support, and functionality. Even one lost tooth can affect how you talk, look, and feel. Losing multiple teeth can lead to bone loss, dental drift, an uneven bite, and other dental issues. 

Fortunately, there are various restoration options for replacing missing teeth, and we can discuss these with you to guide you to the treatment that best meets your dental needs. We can discuss these with you and guide you to the treatment that best meets your dental needs. Here are some of the ways our team can help you replace lost teeth:

• Removable Dentures 
  A removable partial or full denture is the easiest and most cost-effective means of rebuilding your smile. Partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth close together, while full dentures replace all your teeth. Quality dentures will restore your ability to bite and chew so you can eat a wider variety of foods. By customizing your dentures for comfort and appearance, our dentists can give your new teeth a natural look and feel. As dentures are only supported by suction and adhesives, you should be aware that they can come loose when you bite or chew.   
• Fixed Dental Bridge
  A fixed bridge can fill the gap of one to four missing teeth in a row. A traditional fixed bridge gets its support from dental crowns placed on healthy teeth located on either side of the gap. The crowns keep your bridge firmly in place when you bite and chew. Fixed bridges are permanent, unlike dentures that are removed for soaking and cleaning. You brush and floss them just like you do natural teeth. They’re designed to resemble your natural teeth, giving your smile a seamless, realistic appearance.
• Dental implants
  The most popular option for replacing lost teeth is implants. Implants can replace one tooth, several teeth, an entire arch, or all of your teeth. The implants are small, titanium screws that serve as artificial tooth roots. They’re placed in your jaw surgically to integrate with surrounding bone tissue. Once integrated with your jawbone, our dentists attach abutments and a crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile. Implant smiles are strong, stable, natural-looking, and enduring – all you could ask for in replacement teeth.
