Tooth Replacement Options

We recommend patients replace missing teeth as soon as possible. The longer a tooth remains missing, the greater chance you have of developing lasting oral health complications. We offer a number of tooth replacement options that can benefit various lifestyles and budgets. We may recommend a tooth replacement options such as:

Dental Implants
We often recommend implants, as this method is permanent and closely resembles the natural teeth. This treatment replaces the entire tooth root and structure. Although this treatment takes the longest to completion, patients love the many benefits and the improvement to their quality of life.

Dentures and Partials
Dentures are a removable appliance that can be used to replace teeth. Partial dentures can be used to replace missing teeth when you still have natural teeth remaining. Complete dentures are used to replace an entire arch of teeth on the top or bottom, or both.

Dental Crown
This replacement option can be used to replace a tooth structure where the tooth root is intact. It can also be used to complete other restorative treatments such as a dental implant or a dental bridge.

Dental Bridge
This option can be used to replace one or multiple teeth that are missing in a row. This is a permanent restoration that attaches artificial teeth, such as crowns, to surrounding natural teeth.
