Sometimes teeth are missing due to previous extractions or congenital conditions. Dentistry now offers options for tooth replacement that not only look great, but also restore the natural function of the teeth.
In many cases, dental implants are the best option for replacing a missing tooth. The dental implant itself, placed by a surgeon who specializes in dental implant procedures, will take the place of the absent root. After a period of healing, we will design a dental crown to be attached to the dental implant. The end result is a restoration that is a close as possible to having your tooth back.
Implant dentistry has been around for years and has a very high success rate. And with the advances in cosmetic dentistry, your dental implants can look, feel and function just like normal teeth. Implant dentistry can also be used to secure dentures and dental bridges.
If dental implants are not an option for you, we can design a fixed porcelain bridge which attaches to the teeth on one or both sides of the missing tooth space. We can give the illusion that the tooth is still present.
