Replace missing teeth
A missing tooth affects more than your smile. It can change how you chew, how you speak and how the teeth next to the gap shift over time. We help you choose the right replacement, from a single implant to a full smile reconstruction.
An implant is a small post placed in the jawbone where a tooth root used to be. Once it heals and bonds with the bone, it holds a crown that looks and works like a natural tooth. Implants can also anchor a bridge or a denture.
Because the post sits in the bone, it helps keep that bone from shrinking the way it often does after a tooth is lost. Implants don't get cavities, but they still need brushing, flossing and regular cleanings.
Every case is different, but most follow the same path:
If you have gum disease or need more bone, we treat that first so the implant has a healthy foundation.
Implants aren't the only answer. A fixed bridge uses the teeth on either side of a gap to hold a replacement tooth. A partial denture fills one or more gaps and comes out for cleaning. A full denture replaces a whole arch. Dentures can also be held in place by implants for a steadier fit.
We will walk through the cost, comfort and upkeep of each option so you can pick what fits your life and budget.
When several teeth are worn, broken or missing, we can plan the whole mouth at once. A reconstruction might combine implants, crowns, bridges and gum care, done in a sensible order so you know what comes next.
Many adults are. You need healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant. Smoking and some health conditions can affect healing. Your dentist will review your imaging and health history at a consult.
The area is numbed, and sedation options are available if you are nervous. Most patients feel some soreness for a few days afterward that over-the-counter pain relievers handle.
With good care, implants can last many years. The crown on top may need replacing over time from normal wear. Brushing, flossing and regular cleanings protect your investment.
Yes. Implants can anchor a denture so it doesn't slip when you talk or eat. Ask about implant-supported dentures at your consult.
