I'm Missing One or More Teeth

Explore options for replacing one tooth or several, with guidance on suitability, daily care, and cost.

How missing teeth can affect your mouth

Why It Matters

Missing teeth can affect chewing, allow nearby teeth to shift, and contribute to changes in the jawbone. An assessment helps you understand whether replacement is recommended and when to consider it. We explain the suitable options and which treatment can be provided here.

Ways to replace missing teeth

Your Options
  • Dental implants — an implant and crown designed to replace a tooth without usually reshaping neighboring teeth
  • Dental bridges — a fixed restoration anchored to neighboring teeth; no surgery required
  • Partial dentures — removable, affordable replacement for several missing teeth
  • Full dentures — modern, natural-looking replacement for a complete arch
  • Snap-in dentures explained — a removable implant option explained for comparison; we do not provide new snap-in dentures
  • All-on-X — fixed teeth for a full upper or lower arch; with temporary teeth timing assessed individually

What to expect

Finding Your Fit
1

Consultation and Imaging

We review your health, examine your mouth, and use imaging when appropriate. We listen to your goals and budget before discussing treatment.

2

Compare Your Options

We lay out every suitable option side by side — longevity, feel, maintenance, and cost — so you choose with full information.

3

Treatment

Your schedule depends on the treatment you choose. For All-on-X, the timing of temporary teeth depends on suitability, implant stability, and the treatment plan; the final prosthesis follows after healing.

4

Enjoy and Maintain

Regular checkups help us monitor your replacement teeth and surrounding tissues. Your care plan will explain when and where to return for treatment and follow-up visits.

Making replacement affordable

Cost

Insurance coverage varies by plan and treatment. We can check your benefits and discuss whether treatment can be staged when clinically appropriate. You’ll receive a written estimate. Cherry financing is coming soon. Ask our team which payment options are currently available.

Common questions about missing teeth

How soon after an extraction can I replace the tooth?
An implant can sometimes be placed during the extraction visit, but the timing of your temporary and final tooth may differ. We explain each stage and any planned healing period before treatment.
I've been missing teeth for years. Is it too late?
You may still have replacement options. We assess the bone, gums, and remaining teeth, then explain whether implants, a bridge, or a denture would be suitable.
What's the most affordable option?
A removable partial or full denture often has a lower upfront cost. We compare suitable treatment estimates and expected maintenance so you can consider both initial and ongoing costs.
