Tooth Replacement

There will come a time when you need one or several teeth replaced. Extensive dental decay, damage, auto accidents, sports accidents and countless other causes prompt the need for tooth replacement. Grant Family Dentistry has several tooth replacement options for your to choose from. As an example, we can replace a missing or compromised tooth with a dental implant. Dental implants provide a completely new root along with a new tooth by adding a titanium post below the gums to connect with the jawbone. The implant is then secured, ensuring it functions and looks similar to a natural tooth.

Dental bridges are another popular option for tooth replacement. This replacement option does not require surgery. The dentist can replace one or multiple teeth with the use of a bridge. The teeth still in the mouth serve as anchors to support the new additions. The bridge is connected to dental implants, setting the stage for replacement teeth to be connected for optimal functionality and aesthetics.

Dentures are another tooth replacement option. The dentist takes an impression of the mouth. This information is transmitted to a dental lab so the dentures can be made. Implant-supported dentures are also available for patients who want dentures with additional security. Dental implants hold the dentures in place for unparalleled security, beauty and functionality.
