Your Tooth Replacement Options

Tooth loss is still a common problem in the United States. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that over 40% of American adults are missing at least one tooth. This tooth loss not only creates a social and professional stigma, but it also poses a serious risk to oral and general health as well. Fortunately, there are more tooth replacement options available now than ever before. Here at Roseville Dentistry in Roseville, MN, Dr. Tamara Simons offers dentures and other tooth replacement options—read on to learn more.

The cosmetic aspects of tooth loss are obvious, but missing teeth can also affect your speech, increase your risk of gum disease, and make it harder to chew your food and receive the nutrition you need. Whether you've just lost one or more of your teeth or have been living with tooth loss for years, replacing missing teeth is an important investment in both your physical appearance and health.

Your tooth replacement options include:

  • Dentures
  • Crowns and bridgework
  • Dental implants

Dr. Simons will perform a comprehensive dental exam and make recommendations based on your circumstances and oral health needs.

Dentures are available for full or partial tooth loss, and there are several options to choose from:

  • Full dentures
  • Partial dentures
  • Immediate dentures
  • Implant-supported dentures
  • Snap-in dentures
  • Custom dentures

Modern dentures are designed to look more natural and fit more comfortably than older models, making them a great tooth replacement option for people of all ages.

Dental implants consist of a small implant that acts as the root of the missing tooth. The implant is surgically placed in the tooth's socket, and the crown is attached for a more secure and stable fit. In order to qualify for implants, patients need to be in good health, and have enough bone density in the gums to support an implant.
