Tooth Replacement Options

We recommend patients replace missing teeth as soon as possible. The longer a tooth remains gone, the greater the chance you have of developing lasting oral health complications and issues. Some of the options we may recommend include:

Dental Implants
This option is used to replace a tooth root and hold an artificial tooth in place. This is a multi-step process that takes the longest to reach completion but provides many benefits patients love and that improve their quality of life.

Dentures
We have some patients who are missing some or all of their teeth. Dentures can be the tooth replacement option that you have been looking for. Modern-day dentures are natural looking and comfortable. They can be removable or permanently attached in your mouth to complete an implant treatment.

Dental Crown
This is an excellent choice to restore a tooth structure that is damaged beyond repair. It is also commonly used to complete a dental implant treatment. The process requires a minimum of two office visits, and it involves using a tooth-colored covering to restore the function of the tooth.
