Tooth Replacement Options
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your bite, speech, nutrition, and overall confidence. When teeth are lost, the mouth tries to compensate, which can lead to long-term changes such as bone loss, shifting of remaining teeth, and even facial structure. At Two Rivers Dental, we offer a range of advanced replacement options to restore your smile’s function, health, and beauty. Our team will help you find the best solution for your unique needs and guide you every step of the way toward a confident, lasting smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. Designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, implants are surgically anchored to your jawbone to provide strong, stable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Because implants integrate directly with the bone, they help prevent bone loss and do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. With proper care and maintenance, they offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for tooth loss.
Dental Bridges
For patients seeking a fixed, non-removable option, dental bridges are an excellent choice. A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth and is anchored securely to the surrounding teeth or dental implants.
Bridges not only restore the function and appearance of your smile but also help maintain your bite alignment and prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place. Whether replacing a single missing tooth or several, bridges provide a durable and aesthetic restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
Removable Prosthetics
Removable tooth replacement options are ideal for patients who prefer flexibility or need a more budget-friendly solution. At Two Rivers Dental, we offer:
Partial Dentures – Replace several missing teeth while fitting comfortably around remaining ones.
- Full Dentures – Restore an entire arch of teeth for a natural, confident smile.
- Implant Overdentures – Combine the stability of dental implants with the convenience of removable dentures, improving bite force and comfort.
- Flippers – Temporary solutions for patients awaiting a permanent restoration.
Each prosthetic is custom-designed to ensure comfort, fit, and aesthetics that meet your needs and lifestyle.
Dental Extractions
Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved due to decay, infection, or trauma. In these cases, a dental extraction may be the best step toward restoring your oral health. Our experienced team at Two Rivers Dental performs extractions with gentle care and precision, ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
Once the problematic tooth is removed, we can plan the appropriate replacement option to restore your smile and prevent future complications.
Bone Grafting
After a tooth extraction, preserving the surrounding bone is crucial for maintaining your jaw’s structure and preparing for future restorations, such as implants or bridges. Bone grafting helps preserve the natural anatomy of your jaw and promotes controlled, predictable healing.
By supporting healthy bone volume, bone grafting also helps maintain facial aesthetics and ensures long-term stability for any future dental work.
