Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can impact how you speak, eat, and feel about your smile. At McClane Dentistry in Stuart, Florida, we offer a range of tooth replacement options to help restore both function and confidence.
1. Why Tooth Replacement Matters
Even one missing tooth can cause:
- Shifting of surrounding teeth
- Bite misalignment
- Jawbone loss over time
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Self-consciousness about your smile
Replacing missing teeth helps preserve your oral health and overall well-being.
2. Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They involve a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, topped with a natural-looking crown.
Benefits of dental implants:
- Look and feel like real teeth
- Help preserve jawbone structure
- Long-lasting and low maintenance
- No impact on surrounding teeth
Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even support full dentures.
3. Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a non-surgical option that fills the gap where a tooth is missing by anchoring a prosthetic tooth to the adjacent teeth.
Benefits of dental bridges:
- Restore appearance and chewing function
- Fixed in place—no removal needed
- Completed in just a few visits
- Ideal for patients who may not be candidates for implants
Bridges are a trusted option when implants aren’t ideal due to bone loss or health conditions.
4. Full and Partial Dentures
Dentures are removable appliances used when multiple or all teeth are missing. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Full dentures replace all teeth on the upper or lower arch.
Benefits of modern dentures:
- Improved comfort and fit
- Natural-looking appearance
- Affordable tooth replacement solution
- Can be combined with implants for extra stability
Today’s dentures are more secure and lifelike than ever before.
5. Custom Tooth Replacement Plans
At McClane Dentistry, we create custom treatment plans based on your needs, goals, and budget. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, we’ll help you choose the best replacement option to restore your smile and confidence.
Tooth loss doesn’t have to be permanent. With the right solution, you can enjoy a strong, beautiful smile for years to come.
