You use all your teeth to complete basic daily tasks every day, like chewing a piece of steak or speaking with friends.

Fortunately, you don’t have to live with missing teeth and a smile that isn’t functioning for you. At Hooks Family Dentistry, we offer several custom-tailored tooth replacement treatments to restore your smile, like dentures, bridges, and dental implants.

Why Choose Hooks Family Dentistry for Replacing Missing Teeth?
Dental Bridges
For our patients who are missing one or more teeth in a row, a dental bridge may be the best tooth replacement option for you. It’s comprised of two dental crowns on either side of the arch that are designed to anchor the restoration in place. Free-standing replacement teeth (called pontics) are fused between the crowns to literally bridge the gap in your smile. We can craft these restorations from ceramic, gold, and porcelain fused to metal.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a modern, strong, and stable tooth replacement solution that rivals traditional restorations like dentures. They utilize small, titanium implant posts that fuse with your jawbone to hold a bridge, crown, or denture in place, eliminating the need to alter any existing teeth or use messy denture adhesive. They offer a wide array of unique benefits as well, including preventing jawbone deterioration and have a lifespan of 35+ years with proper maintenance.

Dentures
Dentures have been around, in some shape or form, for thousands of years now, according to historians. Thankfully, today’s versions are more lifelike, modern, and comfortable than ever before! Our doctors can design both partial and full models, depending on the extent of the patient’s tooth loss. These appliances are removable in nature, which means you can clean them separately and store them while sleeping. If you’d prefer a more permanent and sturdier tooth replacement, implant-retained prosthetics are available as well here in the Altavista area.
