Tooth loss can be an unpleasant and stressful occurrence for dental patients of all ages. We’re happy to report, however, that there are a number of effective and patient-friendly restorative treatments available to help get your smile back on track. Keep reading to learn more from our Mill Valley dental implant dentists…
Replacing Single Teeth
Tooth loss can affect patients of any age, creating both aesthetic and health problems down the road. Our dental team takes special care to replace missing teeth with customized restorations/replacement teeth. The goal is for your replacement tooth to blend in seamlessly with your natural smile. In fact, we actually look to your smile to guide the shape, size, and color of your replacement tooth.
Replacing Multiple Teeth
If you are one of the many patients who is looking to replace multiple teeth at once, you have a number of treatment options. Of course, you could use individual restorations to fill each hole along your gum line. However, you may alternatively choose to use a larger dental appliance, like a denture or dental bridge, to repair and rebuild your smile. In making this decision you’ll want to take a number of factors into account including the current state of your smile and your treatment timeline.
Making Restorations Permanent
Gone are the days of flimsy replacement teeth held loosely in place with adhesives. Thanks to dental implant technology, our team can now permanently secure your restoration using small titanium posts that, essentially, act as tooth roots. In fact, the titanium of your dental implant post will actually bond with the surrounding jawbone tissue over time. The result is a stable restoration that is simple to maintain.
So much is possible in the world of restorative dentistry; there is absolutely no reason to keep living with a damaged or incomplete smile. Our Mill Valley dental implant dentists are happy to answer any questions you may have—give us a call to get started!
