Effective Solutions for Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can significantly impact your daily life, from how you chew to how confident you feel about your smile. Fortunately, Frugé Orthodontics offers several solutions to address missing teeth, ensuring every patient can find an option that meets their needs and lifestyle. One of the most popular and effective long-term options is dental implants, a permanent solution that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and topped with a custom crown, providing a secure, low-maintenance replacement that restores both function and appearance.

In addition to dental implants, Frugé Orthodontics also offers other highly effective options such as removable partial dentures and fixed dental bridges. Removable partial dentures are a flexible, cost-effective choice for patients who prefer a non-invasive approach. At the same time, fixed dental bridges provide a stable, permanent solution without the need for surgery. No matter which option you choose, our team is here to guide you through the process and help you regain a healthy, confident smile.

Common Solutions

Partial Dentures

Removable partial dentures are an excellent solution for patients who are missing multiple teeth in one area of their mouth. Designed to fit seamlessly alongside your natural teeth, these dentures offer a convenient and affordable way to restore your smile. Because they are removable, partial dentures are easy to clean and maintain, making them a flexible option for those who may not want a permanent dental fixture. They are custom-made to match the look and feel of your natural teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural appearance.

These dentures are often covered by insurance, making them a cost-effective choice for many patients. If you're looking for a non-invasive option to replace missing teeth, removable partial dentures may be the ideal solution to help you restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile.

Fixed Dental Bridges

Fixed dental bridges provide a reliable and durable solution for patients looking to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of a custom-made artificial tooth or teeth, that is anchored to the adjacent natural teeth on either side of the gap. This creates a stable and long-lasting replacement that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both function and appearance. Fixed bridges are an excellent choice for those who prefer a non-removable option that feels secure and comfortable while helping to maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth.

Our fixed dental bridges are designed with your long-term oral health in mind. Not only do they restore your ability to chew and speak naturally, but they also prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place, which can lead to further dental issues. The bridge is custom-crafted to match the shape, color, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a cohesive and natural-looking smile. For patients seeking a permanent, effective solution for missing teeth, fixed dental bridges offer the ideal combination of aesthetics and functionality.

Permanent Dental Implants

Permanent dental implants are a top-tier solution for replacing missing teeth, offering both durability and a natural look. Unlike other options, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to provide a secure foundation for a custom crown. This integration creates a tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence. Dental implants are highly regarded for their long-lasting results, often lasting a lifetime with proper care, making them an excellent investment in your oral health.

We specialize in providing high-quality dental implants that are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Implants are also beneficial for maintaining your jawbone structure, as the titanium post stimulates bone growth and prevents the bone loss that can occur with missing teeth. For patients seeking a permanent, low-maintenance solution, dental implants offer a secure, aesthetic replacement that enhances both oral function and overall appearance. If you're ready to regain your smile with a solution that feels like your own teeth, dental implants may be the ideal option for you.
