Your smile can’t function correctly without all of your teeth. Even one gap can throw off the balance of your bite and limit the kind of foods you can eat comfortably. But that space doesn’t have to stay empty; you have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to new teeth that will restore your grin. Whether you’ve lost a tooth recently or have been missing a few for years, now is a good time to call Magnolia Shores Dental and schedule an appointment with Dr. Parry to replace missing teeth in Summerfield, NC.

Dental Bridges
About one to three missing teeth in a row can be replaced at once with a dental bridge. The restoration consists of two porcelain crowns that hold one or more false teeth called “pontics” between them. To set the bridge in place, we’ll need to make small changes to the teeth on either side of the gap (also known as the “abutment teeth”) so that they can support the crowns. Bridges normally have a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years, as long as you practice good oral hygiene.
Dentures
If you have lost several teeth or an entire row, you might consider dentures. Full or partial dentures can be an ideal solution if you prefer a non-surgical way to replace your missing teeth. Another unique fact is that Dr. Parry offers a more convenient solution – Dentures in a Day. This process involves a one-hour initial visit where scans, photos, and color shading occur. During the second visit, our team will design your new dentures and use our 3D printer to produce them in-house, complete with the customized color and glaze. Once your new teeth have a chance to cure, you will be fitted for your new smile. While this can occur in a single day, it often requires at least two days (as opposed to six weeks with traditional dentures).
Dental Implants
Traditional bridges and dentures can’t prevent all the consequences of missing teeth. Without the stimulation of the roots that were lost, the underlying jawbone will start to break down. However, you can preserve the jawbone and provide your new teeth with strong, sturdy support if you get dental implants. Implants can easily last for decades, and they help patients look and feel like their teeth never went missing in the first place.
