From time to time, a tooth has to go. Luckily, there are ways to replace teeth to give you your smile back or to help you to chew better.
Why replace teeth?
To give you more teeth to chew with. This makes it easier to eat your food, but also protects the other teeth from undue stress.
To improve the appearance of your smile.
To prevent other teeth from moving into the gap and growing out of place.
Replacement Options
Fixed Dental Implants - often the best way to replace a tooth long term
Ceramic Dental Bridges - connecting a replacement tooth to the teeth next door
Dentures - partial or full removable dentures
Orthodontics - moving the surrounding teeth to fill in the gap
