Tooth Replacement Options
For patients who have experienced decay, dental trauma, illness, or infection and are in need of a tooth replacement, we believe in choosing an option that is aesthetically pleasing while restoring the function of your tooth, but that also promotes life-long health. Tooth replacement options we provide include:
Dental Implants
This option is a permanent tooth restoration that uses a titanium post that is implanted into the jawbone to act and function as a tooth root. The process is then completed with a tooth structure, such as a dental crown.
Dentures
This option is a prosthetic that is made to look like teeth and gums. The material used is able to stand up to the repeated wear and tear teeth experience daily. In many cases, dentures are removable, but for some patients, they are permanently fixed in the mouth with the help of dental implants.
Crowns
This option is used to restore the tooth structure when the tooth root is healthy but the structure is severely damaged. A crown is also often used to complete a dental implant procedure.
If you are in need of a tooth replacement and interested in learning more about which option we would recommend or have any questions regarding options we’ve already discussed, be sure to contact our office located in North Huntingdon, PA to schedule an appointment. I look forward to helping you restore your smile and improve your life.
