Tooth Replacement

Missing teeth can have a large impact on your day to day life, from the foods you choose to eat to how you feel when you smile.  There are a number of options for replacing missing teeth, and we are happy to discuss them with you on a case by case basis.

​

Implants are the most tooth-like option and consist of the implant itself (which acts as the "root") and a crown on top (which is the chewing surface that is visible above the gum).  Implants are placed by a surgical specialist, and you will return to our office for placement of the crown. 

​

Bridges use the two teeth on either side of a space to support a false tooth.  Hygiene and maintenance are critical to ensuring a long life-span for bridges.

​

Partial dentures are removable and made of a metal or acrylic frame with clasps and acrylic teeth to replace those that are missing.
