1. WHAT CAN A
DENTIST DO FOR
MISSING TEETH?

2. Missing teeth require replacement to
prevent future problems with your oral
health such as a misaligned bite and an
increased risk for decay.

3. After losing a tooth, one of your biggest
questions is to find out what can a
dentist do for missing teeth.

4. Whether you have one gap to fill or
require a full mouth restoration, we can
help you replace your teeth with one of
these options.

5. FILL IN THAT GAP WITH A BRIDGE

6. A bridge is used to fill in a gap that is
created by one or two missing teeth.

7. There are several different types of
bridges that we may use to replace
a tooth.

8. TRADITIONAL BRIDGE
The most common type we use,
and this involves putting crowns on
the teeth closest to the gap that
hold the false tooth in place.

9. TRADITIONAL BRIDGE
Although it is more invasive than
other types of bridges, it tends to
last the longest.

10. CANTILEVER BRIDGE
If your missing tooth is on the end
of an arch, then we can also use a
cantilever bridge that anchors to
only a single natural tooth.

11. CANTILEVER BRIDGE
These bridges can last a long time
with proper care, but you may
need to be careful with what you
eat since they can sometimes act
as a lever and pull upwards.

12. MARYLAND BRIDGE
When your natural teeth are in
good condition, we can also use a
Maryland bridge as a more
conservative option.

13. MARYLAND BRIDGE
This replacement involves using
metal or porcelain framing around
the false tooth that is bonded to
the adjacent natural teeth.

14. MARYLAND BRIDGE
While this is not as strong as the
other bridges, it is preferable if you
want to preserve the natural
structure of your remaining teeth.

15. CREATE A SMILE WITH DENTURES

16. Dentures are another option that offers
benefits for your smile.

17. Unlike bridges, dentures do not
typically require anything to be done to
your natural teeth, and many people
prefer them as a tooth-saving method.

18. Dentures come in two main styles.

19. Dentures come in two main styles.

20. Complete dentures are used
when you are missing an entire
row of teeth on the top or
bottom of your mouth.

21. Partial dentures are used to fill
in gaps that are created when
you are missing several teeth
but not an entire arch.

22. With dentures, you also have the
option of having conventional
or immediate types.

23. Conventional dentures require
you to wait several weeks after
an extraction to heal before they
are placed.

24. Immediate dentures can be put
in your mouth immediately so
that you are not without teeth
for any length of time.

25. But they do require more
adjustments as your jaw bone
and gums change during the
healing process.

26. MIMIC NATURAL TEETH WITH IMPLANTS

27. Asking what can a dentist do for
missing teeth always leads to
a discussion about implants.

28. We are excited to offer one of the
biggest advancements in dentistry
to our patients.

29. Dental implants are perfect for replacing
a single missing tooth, or they can be
used to serve as an anchor for dentures
and bridges.

30. The implant placement procedure
requires several visits to our office, and
the cost does tend to run higher than
other tooth replacement options.

31. However, this option also comes with
benefits such as being better for
preserving your jaw bone structure.

32. The ease of maintaining it makes the
extra time involved with the placement
worth it.

33. Even a single missing tooth affects
your confidence and comfort.

34. Make sure to mention any
concerns you have about teeth
that you have already lost.

35. Also, always include tooth
replacement in your treatment
plan for any extractions.

36. With so many options for tooth
replacement today there is no
need to wait to fill in those
awkward gaps.

37. When you can correct the
problem right away, it’s hard to
eat and smile comfortably.

38. Noble Dental Care is a family
oriented dental care clinic with
dentists that care about you and
your health.

39. Our dentists are dental implant
specialists. Many of our patients
decide on implants over dentures
or bridges.

40. Give us the opportunity to give you
the smile of your dreams.
