Missing Teeth Turlock
Say Goodbye to the Gaps in Your Smile
Tooth loss isn’t just an aesthetic issue; unfortunately, it can also negatively affect your dental health in several ways. Not only will eating and speaking be impacted, but you’ll also begin to lose jawbone tissue, not to mention that other teeth are at a much higher risk of falling out. All of this means it’s best to replace missing teeth—and our team can help with this, whether you have one lost tooth or you’re missing one or both arches. To learn more or schedule a consultation, just contact our Turlock dental office.

Dental Bridges
Dental bridges do exactly what you’d think—they serve as a “bridge” to fill a gap left by one or a few missing teeth in a row along the same arch. They rely on dental crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap for support, but in some cases, dental implants can be used to support the bridge instead. Bridges are designed to withstand daily biting and chewing, and they’re very easy to care for and can last for several years with good oral hygiene habits.
Dentures
When most people think of replacing teeth, dentures are what come to mind. These tried-and-true prosthetics have helped countless patients with tooth loss, and since they come in partial and full varieties, they can assist patients missing several or even all of their teeth. They consist of a prosthetic base, often made of acrylic that looks and feels like the gums, coupled with realistic replacement teeth that mimic your original ones. As you might expect, they’re able to help patients bite, chew, and speak with ease once more.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are often thought of as the “gold standard” when it comes to replacing missing teeth. Simply put, they’re able to restore the look, feel, and function of your teeth—but the benefits don’t stop there. They can also last for decades with the right care and prevent bone loss in the jaw, which occurs when teeth are lost. Dental implants can be used to replace single lost teeth or multiple pearly whites, depending on your needs.

Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment process designed to restore the function, health, and appearance of a smile affected by missing or severely damaged teeth. This customized approach may combine dental implants, crowns, bridges, or other sorts of treatments to rebuild the patient’s entire smile. The goal is simple: to improve a patient’s chewing and speech, but to also enhance facial support and confidence. If you’ve been dealing with several missing teeth for many years, full mouth reconstruction is often the best answer for getting your oral health back on track.
