Tooth loss doesn’t just affect your appearance but also your self-esteem, mental well-being, and physical health. The good news is that no matter how many teeth you are missing, there are time-tested solutions available at Killeen Choice Dental that can help. With expert training and years of proven experience, our caring team will prioritize and rebuild your smile using one-of-a-kind dental bridges, dentures, or dental implants. While the choice is yours, we encourage you to call our office to schedule a consultation so that we can start building a plan that is right for you.
If you want a set of teeth that will last a decade or more with the right kind of care, you cannot go wrong in choosing a dental bridge. Designed to replace one to four consecutive missing teeth along an arch, its purpose is to fill in the gap to create a cohesive and natural-looking smile. With a bridge, we can fuse multiple pontics (artificial teeth) before attaching them to a dental crown on either side. The bridge will then be bonded to natural teeth that sit next to the gap, ensuring a secure fit.
If you are missing an entire row of teeth or multiples that are scattered along an arch, we can use one of the most reliable tooth replacement solutions available – dentures. Whether it’s a full or partial prosthetic you need, you can expect premier craftsmanship from those creating your new set of teeth. Using only the highest-quality materials, a partial will attach to regular teeth to hold it in place, while full dentures will fit snugly against your gum tissue, relying on natural suction to keep them stable and functional.
A tooth consists of more than its visible crown. It is also comprised of a root that is embedded in the jawbone and allows for greater oral function when eating and speaking. However, when one or more teeth go missing, the result can be bone resorption and additional tooth loss over time. With dental implants, though, we can rebuild more than just the portions that exist above the gumline. Our team can place titanium posts within your jawbone to mimic the function of natural tooth roots, effectively reducing dental drift, bone and tooth loss, and facial sagging. In addition, we will position a custom restoration on top to complete your new and improved smile.
