“So what are the options in a smile makeover if I’m missing a tooth? Like how would you, Dr. Hall, suggest I replace that tooth?
There’s really two options.
So we could either replace that single missing tooth with a dental implant, then restore that with an implant crown, and then we would just restore the adjacent teeth all in conjunction—bam, it’s just part of the makeover.
If you don’t want to go through implant surgery, or maybe you’re not a candidate for an implant, then maybe we’re doing a bridge, right?
A dental bridge is something we’re doing forever, where we’re replacing it, but we’re using adjacent teeth right then to actually hold as anchors, and then we’re able to replace that missing tooth and still aesthetically get a phenomenal result.”
