Tooth Replacement
When you lose a tooth, it's not just the aesthetics of your smile that take a hit. The loss of a tooth can also have implications for your oral health down the line. That's why it's important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. Replacing teeth helps to prevent gum disease and cavities, and it also protects the long-term health of your jaw bone. So when you lose a tooth, don't wait to replace it!
Replacing one or more missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking much easier, and it can also do wonders for your self-confidence. But the benefits extend even further than that!
When you're missing teeth, there are a few different options available to you. Dental implants are often the best option if you want to be able to chew normally and have a full smile, but all possibilities should be considered. Losing a tooth can be a big problem, both for your oral health and your self-confidence. Thankfully, there are now many options available for tooth replacement.

We can help you regain a smile that is healthy, happy, and bright. The first step is understanding all there is to know about losing a tooth and tooth replacement.
Single Tooth Replacement
Single-tooth replacement is the process of replacing a single tooth in the mouth with an artificial tooth. Dental implants, bridges, and removable partial dentures are typically used for this purpose.
Single-tooth replacement depends on the missing tooth location, the health of the surrounding teeth and gums, and the patient's preferences and budget.
Multiple Tooth Replacement
Multiple tooth replacement refers to the process of replacing several missing teeth with artificial teeth. Options for multiple tooth replacements include dental implants, dental bridges, and removable partial dentures.
Among the three options, dental implants are the most popular, offering an improved appearance and natural teeth-like functions.
Implant-supported bridges
An implant-supported bridge is a dental prosthesis that replaces two or more missing teeth. This type of bridge is similar to a traditional dental bridge, but instead of being supported by the adjacent natural teeth, it is supported by dental implants.
It is a great option for patients who want a stable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
Tooth-Supported Bridges
Tooth-supported bridges or traditional dental bridges are common dental prostheses used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are called "tooth-supported" because they are anchored to the adjacent natural teeth using dental crowns.
They are good options for patients who want a relatively affordable and convenient tooth replacement solution.
Removable Dentures
Removable dentures are dental prostheses used to replace missing teeth. They are artificial teeth set in a base of pink or gum-colored acrylic that fits over the gums. They can be full or partial, depending on the patient's needs.
Dentures are a good option for patients who want an affordable and minimally invasive solution for missing teeth.
