Losing a tooth can be a daunting experience, but it's more common than you might think. In fact, millions of people in the United States are missing at least one tooth due to injury, decay, or gum disease. A missing tooth doesn't just affect your oral health and function - it can also impact your appearance, self-esteem, and confidence. At our dental office, we understand how important a healthy, complete smile is to you, which is why we offer the latest solutions for tooth replacement, including traditional fixed bridgework and modern dental implants.
In the past, a fixed dental bridge was the go-to method for replacing a single missing tooth. A bridge consists of an artificial tooth anchored by two dental crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the edentulous area. While dental bridges remain an effective and satisfying method for tooth replacement, you may also be a candidate for a single-tooth dental implant.
Single-tooth dental implants represent the most advanced method of replacing missing teeth available today. Unlike traditional bridgework, a dental implant eliminates the need to prepare and crown adjacent teeth. In other words, a single dental implant restored with a crown will be an effective and permanent replacement for a missing tooth. Additionally, since a dental implant gets placed directly into the jawbone and behaves the same way as the root of a natural tooth, it provides ongoing stimulation necessary to preserve bone mass and support facial contours.
Dental implants are not only an excellent solution for replacing a single missing tooth; they can also replace multiple missing teeth up to an entire smile! They provide outstanding support for long-span bridgework and full-arch restoration, and even offer added retention and stability to removable dentures. In fact, dental implants have become the preferred method of tooth replacement for many people due to their natural look, feel, and function.
At our dental office, we pride ourselves on providing precise and gentle care. We use the leading treatment methods and generations of dental ceramics to give you a smile you're confident sharing. Patient comfort is always our top priority, and we're here for you every step of the way.
