Tooth Loss and Its Impacts
Tooth loss is more common than many people realize. Whether due to decay, gum disease, injury, or age-related changes, gaps in your smile can lead to long-term concerns, including:
Your Tooth Replacement Options
Replacing missing teeth promptly helps maintain oral health, protect remaining teeth, and restore function. Gentle Dental Associates offers multiple options, so you can choose the solution that best fits your comfort level, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a leading solution for single or multiple missing teeth. They involve placing a small titanium post in the jawbone that serves as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a natural-looking crown is attached.
Implants function like natural teeth, help preserve bone, and offer long-lasting stability. They’re ideal for patients seeking a secure, low-maintenance replacement.
Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures replace a full arch or partial arch of missing teeth without surgery. They rest on the gums and can be removed for cleaning.
Traditional dentures are affordable, non-surgical, and can restore the ability to eat and speak more comfortably.
Hybrid Dentures
Hybrid dentures combine the stability of implants with the coverage of dentures. They are secured to dental implants for improved comfort and confidence.
This option provides strong chewing function, a natural appearance, and a secure fit without the shifting associated with traditional dentures.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge fills the space left by one or more missing teeth. It anchors to the natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Bridges are fixed in place, blend well with natural teeth, and offer a reliable, non-implant option.
