Missing Teeth
Losing a permanent tooth can be alarming — not just because it affects your appearance, but because it can also impact your dental and overall health. Fortunately, there are a variety of treatments available to quickly replace your tooth and restore your smile for years to come. Call (480) 607-6937 to learn about the missing teeth treatments we provide at our local office in Scottsdale, AZ.
How to Replace a Missing Tooth
Scottsdale Family Smile is proud to offer the following restorative treatments for missing teeth:
- Dental Implants: Dr. Fattah specializes in ceramic, metal-free implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. A crown is then attached to the implant, creating a natural-looking and fully functional replacement.
- Crowns: Dental crowns are a single-tooth replacement that is bonded to an existing natural tooth or implant. Crowns are the treatment of choice for broken teeth that are still intact in certain places.
- Dental Bridges: Bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth supported by adjacent natural teeth or dental implants to bridge the gap created by missing teeth. Resin-bonded bridges replace front teeth by bonding artificial teeth to natural teeth with resin.
Choosing the Right Treatment
Selecting the most suitable treatment option depends on certain factors like the number of missing teeth, location, and the state of your overall oral health. Here are some of the top considerations we use to determine the right treatment for each patient:
Dental Implants
- Ideal for single or multiple missing teeth
- Provides stability and prevents bone loss in the jaw
- Mimics natural tooth structure in both appearance and function
Crowns
- Best for broken teeth with intact foundational structures
- Very durable and long-lasting replacement option
- More cost-effective than implants and bridges
Dental Bridges
- Suitable for one or more adjacent missing teeth
- Relies on neighboring teeth or implants for support
- Offers durability and improved chewing ability
Dentures
- Less invasive treatment to replace a full arch or several missing teeth
- A more affordable option compared to dental implants
- Removable for easy cleaning and care
