FAQ's for Broken or Missing Teeth

1. What are my options for a broken tooth?

The best treatment for a broken tooth depends on the extent of the damage. If the break is minor, we may be able to repair it with a simple filling or a bonding procedure. For more significant breaks, a crown is often the best solution to restore the tooth's shape and strength. In severe cases where the tooth cannot be saved, an extraction followed by a replacement may be necessary.

2. What can I do about a missing tooth?

We offer several excellent options to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. The most common solutions include dental implants, which are a durable and long-lasting choice, as well as dental bridges or partial dentures. We will discuss the pros and cons of each option with you to determine the best fit for your oral health and lifestyle.

3. What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a permanent solution for a missing tooth. It consists of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, we attach a custom-made crown to the post, providing a strong, natural-looking replacement tooth that functions just like a real one.

4. How is a dental bridge different from a dental implant?

A dental bridge is a non-surgical option that uses the teeth on either side of the gap to support a false tooth (or teeth) that "bridges" the space. Unlike an implant, a bridge does not require surgery and can be a good option for people who are not candidates for an implant. However, implants are a standalone solution that does not impact your adjacent teeth.

5. How long does the process take to get a new tooth?

The timeline depends on the chosen treatment. For a dental bridge, the process typically takes a couple of appointments over a few weeks. The dental implant process takes longer, as it requires a healing period for the implant to fuse with your jawbone. We will provide you with a detailed timeline during your initial consultation so you know what to expect.
