Missing Teeth
Fix Gaps In Teeth With Tooth Implants
The primary way to replace single missing teeth is with an implant. The implant replaces the root of the tooth integrating with the bone creating stability. Not every patient is a candidate for a dental implant. The location of the missing tooth along with the overall health of the patient and bone structure will need to be evaluated before the start of treatment.
Dr. Barr will work with his team of specialists for placement of the titanium post. After wearing a temporary crown while healing, a custom crown will be fabricated restoring function in that area.
Dentures or partials are a choice of treatment if several teeth are missing. Dr. Barr will fabricate a custom design and natural looking denture or partial. Care will be taken in choosing the best shape, size, and color of teeth to create the partial or denture.
