Tooth Replacement Options
Restore Your Smile with Tooth Replacement Solutions at Newtown Dental

There are several options for replacing missing teeth, each offering its own benefits in terms of aesthetics, durability, and comfort. At Newtown Dental, we offer the following tooth replacement solutions:

• Dental Implants
  Implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a strong, secure foundation for a replacement tooth (or teeth) that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
• Dental Bridges
  A bridge is a prosthetic tooth (or set of teeth) that is anchored to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges are a reliable option for replacing one or more missing teeth.
• Dentures
  Dentures are removable prosthetics that replace multiple missing teeth. We offer both full and partial dentures to restore your smile and improve your ability to chew and speak.

Each option is designed to improve the appearance and function of your smile, and we’ll work with you to determine the best choice based on your individual situation.

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they are the most natural and durable option available. A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it acts as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant is securely in place, a prosthetic tooth is attached to restore both the look and function of the tooth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Long-Term Durability
  Implants are designed to last for many years, often for life, with proper care.
• Natural Look and Feel
  Implants closely mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, providing a comfortable and aesthetic solution.
• Preserves Jawbone Health
  Implants help stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing.

The Implant Process

The process of getting dental implants involves several steps, starting with a consultation and examination to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure. The implant is then placed into the jawbone, and after a healing period, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant to complete your new smile.

A dental bridge is an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. The bridge is anchored to the adjacent teeth (or implants) and fills the gap left by the missing tooth or teeth. Bridges are a popular option because they are fixed in place, offering a stable and functional replacement.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

• Aesthetic Restoration
  Bridges blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring the appearance of your smile.
• Improved Function
  A bridge allows you to chew and speak properly, making daily activities easier.
• Cost-Effective Option
  Bridges are generally more affordable than implants and offer a reliable tooth replacement solution.

The Bridge Process

The process for getting a dental bridge involves preparing the adjacent teeth for crowns, which will support the bridge. Impressions are taken to create a custom bridge, and once the bridge is made, it is secured in place. With proper care, bridges can last for many years.

For patients who are missing multiple teeth, dentures offer a versatile and affordable solution. Dentures can be full (replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw) or partial (replacing several missing teeth while preserving the remaining natural teeth). We offer custom-made dentures that are designed to fit comfortably and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Benefits of Dentures

• Affordable Tooth Replacement
  Dentures are often more cost-effective than other replacement options, making them accessible to a wide range of patients.
• Custom Fit
  Our dentures are custom-made to fit the unique contours of your mouth, ensuring comfort and functionality.
• Removable for Easy Cleaning
  Dentures can be removed for cleaning, making them easy to maintain.

Types of Dentures

• Full Dentures – Used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing.
• Partial Dentures – Used when only some teeth are missing and the remaining teeth can provide support.
