Replacing Missing Teeth
There is more than one way to replace a missing tooth. Depending on your dental health and goals, options may include an implant restoration, bridge, partial denture, or full denture.
Rather than assuming one option is right for everyone, Dr. Jee will explain the advantages and considerations of each approach so you can make a decision that fits your needs.
Common questions
- What is the best way to replace a missing tooth?
- There is no single answer for every patient. The number and location of missing teeth, condition of the remaining teeth, available bone, bite, health, treatment time, and personal preferences all matter.
- What happens if I do not replace a missing tooth?
- In some situations, leaving a space may be reasonable. In others, neighboring teeth can shift, chewing can become more difficult, or the bite can change. We can evaluate the area and explain what we would expect in your particular situation.
