While it’s natural to focus on your immediate recovery following your tooth extraction, you’ll also want to start thinking about tooth replacement options.. Without a replacement tooth, the surrounding teeth may shift out of alignment, leading to bite issues and other complications. Plus, the absence of a tooth root can cause your jawbone to deteriorate over time, as it no longer receives the stimulation needed to maintain its strength and density.
Dr. Rohlf offers excellent solutions for replacing one tooth or several missing teeth:
- Single Implant Crown – A dental implant serves as an artificial tooth root, stimulating your jawbone when you chew and preventing the bone loss that often occurs after an extraction. This option provides unmatched stability and longevity for your replacement tooth.
- Implant Bridge – Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant bridge doesn’t rely on your adjacent teeth for support. Instead, it is anchored directly into your jawbone, providing stability and functionality. You can eat, speak, and smile knowing that your implant bridge won’t slip or shift.
- Dental Bridge – If you prefer a non-implant solution, your dentist can create a custom dental bridge for you. It will attach to crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap left by your extracted tooth. This restores your smile’s appearance and function.
No matter which tooth replacement option you choose, you can trust in Dr. Rohlf’s expertise to give you the best results. Our office’s small-town atmosphere will put you at ease, and you’ll never be judged for the condition of your smile.
