What is the best tooth replacement?
At Desert Foothills Dental, we offer several tooth replacement options to match each patient's unique needs. It's not a question of which is best but which is best for you.
Dental implants, dentures, and bridges replace missing teeth, and our dentists work with you to create the most suitable treatment plan for you.
Tooth Replacement Options in Phoenix
Our tooth replacement options include the following:
- Dental bridges – A bridge is a dental prosthetic that replaces one or two consecutive missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth supported by a dental crown on either side.
- Full and partial dentures – Full dentures replace all missing upper teeth, lower teeth, or both; partial dentures fit around remaining teeth for a complete smile.
- Dental implants – The healthiest tooth replacement is a dental implant, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Our dentist places the implant surgically in the jawbone, and the two fuse to create a new tooth root. When the implant heals, we restore function and appearance with a crown for single tooth replacement or a bridge or denture for multiple teeth.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Dental implants are the preferred tooth replacement, but all three options have pros and cons. When you meet our dentist, they'll evaluate your dental needs and recommend the most suitable solution for you.
