Missing Teeth Bullard

Dental Implants

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are often considered the gold standard due to their capacity to replace a lost tooth from root-to-crown. This makes them an incredibly unique option that offers all sorts of life-changing benefits, including improved biting power and the prevention of bone loss. The process of receiving implants does involve surgery and a lengthy timeline compared to other options, but it’s incredibly worthwhile.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are composed of multiple dental crowns, and they’re designed to restore one or more missing teeth in a row along a single arch. Bridges are often a great compromise for patients who aren’t satisfied with removable dentures but also aren’t quite the right candidates for dental implants. Additional crowns will be placed over nearby healthy teeth to serve as “anchors” that hold the new bridge in place, creating a solid, lasting fit that feels natural. Both porcelain crowns and bridges will typically require two to three appointments to design, craft, and place successfully here at our Bullard, TX practice.

Dentures

Dentures have been used to restore lost teeth for hundreds of years, and today, many patients still choose them for their reliability, their convenience, and their affordability. Dr. Morgan offers both full and partial prosthetics – full dentures are designed to replace an entire arch of teeth, while partials replicate certain teeth and allow remaining healthy teeth to safely coexist. Both options are removable for easy cleaning and separate storage when the patient is sleeping.

Are you looking for a more secure tooth replacement option? Implant-retained dentures are also available at our practice! These prosthetics are designed to fit over placed implants for a fixed fit that feels sturdy and functions naturally.

Facial Collapse

When most people think of tooth loss, they think about how it’ll impact their ability to eat and speak. But did you know that extended tooth loss can cause facial collapse? When teeth are lost, there is nothing in those areas of the jaw to provide healthy stimulation, which is what your tooth roots are responsible for, so the bone isn’t able to continue growing – in fact, it can actually begin deteriorating. Fortunately, there is a way to reverse this: dental implant restorations. Since they’re placed directly into the jawbone, they take up the job that the roots of your missing teeth were doing prior to being lost.
