Do I Need To Replace Missing Teeth?

Missing teeth can affect your confidence and your overall oral health. Even one missing tooth can cause a domino effect of issues for your remaining teeth. When a patient loses a tooth, the remaining teeth shift to fill the empty space. Patients with missing teeth are at an increased risk of developing tooth decay, gum disease, and further tooth loss. Replacing missing teeth is in the best interest of your smile and your overall oral health.

Tooth Replacement Options in Indianapolis, IN

Dental Implants: Dental implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. Dental implants are designed to resemble and function as the natural tooth root. Depending on the number and location of missing teeth, dental implants may be used to secure a dental crown, denture, or dental bridge.

Dental Bridge: A dental bridge may be fixed or removable. For a more secure solution, a dental bridge can be fixed into place using dental implants. Typically, a dental bridge is used to replace several consecutive missing teeth.

Denture: Dentures can replace either the top, bottom, or both arches of missing teeth. Patients can choose from a removable denture or a denture fixed into place by dental implants.

Dr. Marckese works with each patient to determine which solution is right for their needs. Our Indianapolis dentist office is equipped with state of the art dental technology and amenities to give our patients the best experience possible. If you would like to learn more about our services, you can visit DentalSpa Indianapolis.
