TOOTH REPLACEMENT

Tooth loss is something no one looks forward to. If you lose one or more teeth, you have a number of replacement options. You owe it to yourself to be informed as possible about these options.

Implant Crowns

Implant Crowns are attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium fixtures replacing tooth roots that are surgically placed in the jawbone by a periodontist or an oral surgeon. They do not sit on the gum like removable dentures or use adjacent teeth as anchors like dental bridges,

Dental implants are so natural looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth! You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Dental implant -supported crowns are teeth that can look and feel just like your own! Long-term studies continue to show extremely high success rates for dental implants.

Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges replace missing or lost teeth with artificial replacements. A bridge is a series of crowns attached to teeth surrounding the missing tooth. It is firmly attached and gives you total functionality while restoring and improving your smile and bite.

 Dentures

Full or partial removable dentures are used to replace multiple missing teeth. They are made of plastic or a combination of plastic and metal. They can hook onto remaining teeth or just sit on the gum.

Many times dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing or speaking with them. If you are wearing dentures and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news! Dental implants can be employed to “snap” dentures into place and hold them there. Often we can use your existing denture to do this.  Dr. Mark Waltzer has been helping patients with tooth replacement for 26 years and is confident he can help you.
