Replacement Teeth
Nobody wants to go through life with missing teeth. In addition to the social stigma associated with an incomplete set of teeth, missing teeth contribute to bone loss in the jaw, shifting of remaining teeth, and edentulous patients statistically do not live as long as those with teeth. Diet and speech are impaired, as well. Because teeth support the cheeks and lips, missing teeth can make your face look drawn and older than your true years.
As a family and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Ryan offers natural-looking, custom fitted replacement teeth to restore optimal function, health, and beauty to a smile. These include bridges, which replace one or more teeth in a row; partials, which replace multiple teeth on an upper or lower arch; and full dentures, which replace all teeth on an upper or lower arch. The most lasting option, though, is a dental implant.
An implant consists of an imitation tooth root placed in the jawbone. An oral surgeon or prosthodontist works with Dr. Ryan on the surgical placement of the implant post. Then Dr. Ryan designs and orders a custom replacement tooth/teeth from our dental lab. He'll place the single implant restoration, bridge, partial, or denture, and you'll enjoy a dependable smile that looks totally natural!
