Why Receive Tooth Restoration or Tooth Replacement?
We recommend tooth replacement for those who have missing teth, even if it is just a single missing tooth. Missing teeth negatively affect your confidence, your overall health, and your smile’s function.
We often recommend implants for replacing teeth, and offer bone grafts to help you qualify. Dental bridges can replace missing teeth if you are not a candidate for dental implants.
We recommend tooth restoration if you have:
We can restore a tooth with a crown or with dental bonding to help you achieve optimal aesthetics and function.
The Benefits of Tooth Replacement
Replacing a missing tooth or missing teeth can help you enjoy all these benefits and more:
- Enhanced Balance and Aesthetics: A missing tooth can damage how your smile appears, especially the symmetry and balance of your smile. Replacing it creates improved facial harmony, and we match your replacements to remaining healthy teeth.
- Better Digestion: Having an unbalanced smile with missing teeth prevents you from chewing your food properly, slowing down your digestion significantly, which can affect your overall health.
- Restored Function: If you are missing a tooth or teeth, you may notice whistling, lisping, difficulty speaking, or difficulty chewing. Replacing teeth allows you to return to your daily life with ease.
- Protection of Remaining Teeth: Missing teeth cause your surrounding teeth to shift or can expose them to more cavities and wear and tear. Replacing your missing teeth secures your smile and prevents your teeth from moving.
- Improved Jawbone Health: Dental implants, especially, can improve bone density that may decrease after tooth loss. Leaving your jawbone without proper stimulation from tooth roots can cause facial sagging, pain, or more tooth loss.
Replacing teeth can help you regain the function and beautiful appearance you once had.
Our Tooth Replacement Options
Our advanced technology allows us to customize your tooth replacement option, whatever it may be, to match the color of your healthy teeth and gums. Our restorations will be comfortable and feel like your natural teeth.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that restore severely damaged teeth by covering them. They can also replace missing teeth with the help of dental implants. Bridges are similar to crowns but replace teeth without the need for implants.
Our custom-crafted restorations are designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and function.
Fillings & Tooth-Colored Restorations
Modern dental fillings not only restore teeth damaged by decay but also blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We use biocompatible composite resin materials that bond directly to the tooth structure, providing strength and a natural appearance.
Our tooth-colored restorations are ideal for:
Using digital scanning technology, we can design and place these restorations with exceptional precision, preserving more of your healthy tooth structure while providing durable, long-lasting results.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the premier way to permanently replace missing teeth, whether it be one or many. Dental implants anchor to your jaw for ultimate oral health and stability. You can place a crown, bridge, or removable or permanent denture onto dental implants.
We place and restore dental implants all at one convenient location in Austin. If you want to learn more about dental implants, visit our dental implant page or call us for a consultation.
Full and Partial Dentures
Replacing and restoring teeth goes much further than replacing a single tooth. For patients with more extensive tooth loss, we offer partial and full dentures. These removable appliances can replace multiple missing teeth in a row or an entire arch of teeth.
Implants can be used to support partial or full dentures for added security.
Full Mouth Reconstruction and Complex Cases
We offer comprehensive treatment plans that combine multiple restorative procedures for complex cases. Our surgical center and broad offerings for tooth replacement allow us to personalize your restorative case. If necessary, we can offer bone or gum revitalization before placing implants or restoring part of your smile.
If you are struggling to find a dentist that can help due to medical complexity or severe oral health concerns, contact our office to learn about how we can help.
Choosing the Right Tooth Replacement Option
You don’t have to pick a tooth or restoration option alone. We offer consultations and access to prosthodontic specialists who can help us give you personalized recommendations. To guide our recommendations, we offer
We recommend dental implants if you are a candidate or can undergo surgery for bone grafts, as they preserve your jawbone density and create a permanent tooth replacement solution.
