Dr. Frank Henrich and the team at Henrich Dental offer multiple treatment options for patients with a missing tooth or teeth. Some solutions may include:
Dental implants are made of titanium posts that are inserted into the jaw bone. The posts heal over 3 to 6 months and are secured with abutments that support the implant. A dental crown is then applied over the implant and is matched to existing teeth for a natural look.
Dental bridges are often used to replace several missing teeth. In treatment, bridges are inserted and supported by adjacent teeth as well as dental implants. Dental bridges blend in with other teeth and “bridge the gap” to create a balanced smile.
Dentures can be an excellent option for patients who are missing the upper or lower arch of their teeth. Dentures secured with a dental implant provide more stability, but there are also removable and convenient denture options.
