Have you lost teeth? It’s a lot different than when you lost your baby teeth way back in the day. Unfortunately, these don’t grow back and a jack-o-lantern smile doesn’t look as cute as it did when you were five.
If you’re missing teeth or if your teeth are compromised by staining, decay, chipping, or brittle aging, then it’s time to find yourself a professional dentist in Marble Falls TX.
When it comes to the prospect of losing your adult teeth, the preference is always to preserve your natural teeth. If this is not a viable option, then your local dentist in Marble Falls TX can offer you several ways to maintain your ability to eat, drink, speak, laugh, and smile in your everyday life.
Dental Veneers
If you still have your teeth but are not comfortable with them, these might be your solution. Stunning porcelain veneers offer a competitively-priced approach to cosmetic adjustments. These are very thin shells bonded to the front of the teeth. They upgrade unsightly, but structurally sound teeth.
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is used where a tooth is missing. It “bridges” a gap between teeth. It is a restoration with a false tooth (or teeth) attached to the surrounding teeth. Dental bridges have been used successfully for decades.
Dental Implant
A dental implant is a more extensive replacement for a missing tooth. An implant consists of an artificial tooth plus an artificial root (usually bio-compatible titanium). With local anesthesia, the artificial root is actually inserted into the jaw bone where it integrates with the bone tissue. There are three parts to a dental implant: the artificial root, the connecting abutment, and the final crown or denture. An implant is often the ideal restoration as it offers beauty, strength, natural function, and protection from bone recession that often occurs at the site of a missing tooth.
Dentures
Most people have heard of dentures. Dentures are a plate holding artificial teeth that can be removed by the wearer. These are custom and can contain varying numbers of teeth. Sometimes the entire set of upper and lower teeth have to be pulled and a denture created. Modern dentistry offers a myriad of custom dental implant-denture combinations to restore missing teeth.
