More Than an Attractive Smile
Your first concern for replacing one or more missing teeth is most likely to restore the unsightly gaps in your smile. But tooth loss results in more than simply losing your smile aesthetics. Without teeth, your bone can deteriorate, increasing the risk of your bite changing and even starting a domino effect of losing more teeth. This is why replacing your missing teeth with partial dentures or dental bridges isn’t a beneficial long-term option. These solutions, while restoring how your smile looks, don’t address the bone loss from missing teeth. If you’re looking for more than an attractive smile—a complete and permanent return to health, function, and beauty—then dental implants are your best choice!

She and our team will determine the best tooth replacement options for your unique needs so you can enjoy a comfortable and confident life once again.
Comparing Your Options
You have the choice between a partial denture, dental bridge, or dental implants to replace your missing teeth. While all options can successfully restore the cosmetic appearance of your smile, only dental implants and dental implant bridges can replace lost function and improve your oral health.
