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 complete 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 cause teeth to wear and crack, escalating problems.
Several options might be available when replacing missing teeth, whether one or a complete set. Dental implants often give the best opportunity to enjoy normal chewing and a full smile, although other possibilities deserve consideration.
We know it’s not always easy to sort through the possibility of complications. Dr. Nimri or Dr. Saab’s background in restorative dentistry allows them to develop solutions for every scenario.
Cosmetic Dental Treatments Can:

- Reshape teeth
- Replace missing teeth
- Replace old metallic restorations, such as fillings and crowns
Dental Implants
Replacing missing teeth with implants brings your mouth back to full function and excellent well-being. Stunning porcelains replicate your natural teeth perfectly, whether for one or more missing teeth. Single crowns or complex bridges can be supported by implants, providing a solution for every scenario.
Full or Partial Dentures
Sometimes, a removable appliance is the best way to replace missing teeth. Dr. Nimri and Dr. Saab can help you decide whether a partial or complete denture would restore your mouth’s optimal function and appearance. Sometimes, dental implants and dentures are combined for unprecedented stability and confidence.
Porcelain Bridges
Traditionally, dental bridges have been a top choice for replacing missing teeth. With the widespread use of implants, more options are now available to bridge gaps in your smile. Resilient, natural-looking porcelains are engineered into a bridge and can eliminate spaces of every size.
