Everything you didn’t know about tooth loss

Tooth loss impacts the smile in a variety of ways. It can cause the loss of natural bone, which also holds the existing teeth within the smile. Tooth loss also causes an imperfect appearance, with a gap in the smile. It keeps patients from speaking and eating properly. And in some cases, if not addressed quickly, it can cause the existing teeth to shift out of place, causing small gaps between all the teeth within the dental arch. It is important for patients in the area of Sugarland, TX to work with a dental team that provides tooth replacement solutions such a dental bridges for replacing one or more teeth within the dental arch. This is where the team at Smile Texas can assist!

Understanding the benefits of dental bridges

Drs. Rick Kline and Bret Davis provide dental bridges as one of their tooth replacement solutions. There are many advantages to using these porcelain restorations to replace teeth within the smile. Dental bridges include teeth that are false and called pontics fused to dental crowns on each side, which anchor over the adjacent teeth for support. This type of restoration has many advantages. Dental bridges are:

  • Affordable
  • Natural-looking
  • Easy to place
  • Easy to care for
  • Effective
  • Long-lasting

What other options are available?

If patients have chosen not to move forward with dental bridges, they have a few other options available at Smile Texas. Our team also provides dentures, which include full and partial dentures for replacing one, several, or all of the teeth within the dental arch. Another option patients may be interested in is dental implants, which can last a lifetime and offer a more permanent solution.
