Missing one or more teeth can affect more than just your smile, it can also make eating and speaking difficult. At Anh B. Dao, DDS & Associates, we specialize in durable, natural-looking tooth replacement solutions in Pearland, TX. Whether you have lost teeth due to injury, severe decay, or gum disease, our experienced dental professionals can design a custom restoration to help you regain a healthy and functional smile.
Why It’s Important to Replace Missing Teeth
When you lose a tooth, the surrounding jawbone starts to resorb over time. As a result, the neighboring teeth may shift into the missing tooth gap, increasing the risk of bite issues, misalignment, and jaw strain. If bone loss continues, it may even cause facial sagging, especially in the case of multiple missing teeth.
Moreover, missing teeth can make eating and speaking more difficult. People often avoid certain foods or feel more self-conscious when talking or smiling. By replacing missing teeth, we can not only restore function and aesthetics, but also help maintain your long-term oral health. Our restorations are crafted to match your natural teeth, so you can smile confidently once again.
Solutions We Offer for Missing Teeth Replacement
At our dental practice, we offer different tooth replacement options, depending on your oral health needs and personal preference.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are ideal for replacing one or more missing teeth in a row. They have one or more prosthetic teeth, which are held in place by dental crowns attached to adjacent healthy teeth. Apart from restoring your smile, they can also enhance oral functions and prevent your healthy teeth from shifting out of place.
Dentures & Partials
Our dental professionals offer both full and partial dentures that are custom-designed for a comfortable and natural fit. They are a great option for those who are looking for non-surgical options for tooth replacement, whether they have lost one or multiple teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking solution that closely mimics natural teeth. As they are placed directly in the jawbone, they help prevent bone loss and provide fixed support for replacement teeth. Once the restoration is secured, you can eat, speak, and smile more confidently.
