While tooth loss is a frustrating and sometimes upsetting occurrence for many people, it doesn’t have to affect you negatively long-term. There are a number of restorative treatment options available to you. Today our Santa Monica dentists are reviewing how we repair and rebuild damaged smiles…
Replacing Single Teeth
If you have lost a tooth due to damage or infection, a dental restoration can help you reclaim a healthy and whole smile. Every replacement tooth that we create is shaped, sized, and colored to blend with the patient’s existing natural smile. These restorations are designed to comfortably stay in place and stand up to the rigors of daily life.
Replacing Multiple Teeth
There are a number of treatment options available to patients who need to replace multiple teeth at once. It is possible to use individual replacement teeth to stand in for natural teeth 1:1. You may alternatively choose to restore your smile with a bridge or denture—these prostheses have the potential to deliver dramatic smile transformations.
Making Restorations Permanent
Dental implant technology further enhances these tooth replacement options, as it allows to permanently secure your restoration in your jawbone tissue. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or a full smile, strategically placed titanium implant roots can help ensure that you end up with healthy and attractive smile that you’re proud to show off.
