The front teeth are essential for both appearance and function. When one is missing, it affects more than just your smile. Here’s why timely replacement matters:
Whether you’ve just lost your tooth or have been living with a gap for years, replacing a front tooth improves your oral health, self-esteem, and quality of life.
Let’s explore the most common and effective treatments we offer at our Smyrna dental care office for front tooth replacement:
1. Dental Implants (Top Recommended Option)
A dental implant replaces both the tooth and the root. It involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, followed by a custom crown that blends perfectly with your natural teeth.
Pros:
Permanent solution (can last 20+ years)
Preserves jawbone structure
Natural appearance and function
No impact on adjacent teeth
Best for:
Adults with healthy bone and gums
Patients seeking a long-lasting, aesthetic solution
2. Dental Bridge
Bridges involve anchoring an artificial tooth between two crowns placed on adjacent teeth. It’s a fixed, non-removable solution.
Pros:
Less invasive than implants
Quicker treatment time
Natural appearance
Cons:
Requires modification of neighboring teeth
Does not preserve bone
Best for:
Patients unable to get implants
Short-to-medium term solution
3. Maryland Bridge
This minimally invasive option uses resin wings bonded to the back of adjacent teeth, holding a replacement tooth in place.
Pros:
Conserves adjacent teeth
Affordable
Reversible option
Cons:
Less durable
May detach with frequent biting pressure
Best for:
Teens or patients awaiting permanent solutions
4. Removable Partial Denture (Flipper)
This is a removable plastic appliance that holds a false tooth in place.
Pros:
Low cost
Immediate use possible
Cons:
Temporary
May feel bulky or unstable
Best for:
Short-term cosmetic replacement
