Not many years ago, losing a tooth left you with few options for replacement. Permanent teeth should provide a lifetime of function, but it doesn’t always end up that way. They may be lost from an accident, decay, or gum disease. Since teeth start as a full set, just one missing tooth can affect the whole makeup of the mouth’s delicate balance. As teeth slowly lean and migrate into extra spaces, excessive forces causes teeth to wear and crack, resulting in escalating problems.
When it’s time to replace missing teeth, whether it’s one or a full set, several options might be available to you. Dental implants often give the best opportunity to enjoy normal chewing and a full smile, although there are other options that deserve consideration.

Stunning porcelains replicate your natural teeth perfectly, whether it’s for one or more missing teeth.

Full or Partial Dentures
Sometimes, a removable appliance is the best way to replace missing teeth. Drs. Nimri and Zingalis can help you decide whether a partial or complete denture would be best to restore your mouth’s optimal function and appearance. Sometimes, a combination of dental implants and dentures are used for unprecedented stability and confidence.
