Losing a tooth can leave you with questions about what to do next. Replacing a missing tooth can help restore your smile and oral function, but you do not need to make an immediate decision without knowing your options. At Smilehaus Newmarket, we can help you explore solutions based on your dental health, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
What Are Your Options for a Missing Tooth?
Dental Bridges — Designed to fill the space left by one or more missing teeth, dental bridges can help restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably while also preventing nearby teeth from shifting into the open space.
Dental Implants — Dental implants are a long-term option that consists of three main components: an implant post that replaces the missing tooth root, an abutment that connects the implant to the restoration, and a replacement tooth, typically a crown. Because the implant is secured in the jawbone, it can provide stability that feels similar to a natural tooth.
What If You Need to Restore a Damaged Tooth?
Not every gap in your smile means you need a tooth replacement. If your tooth is damaged but can still be saved, a dental crown can be a good option.
At Smilehaus Newmarket, CEREC technology allows us to create precise, natural-looking crowns in one visit. Crowns may be recommended for decayed, cracked, or weakened teeth, including teeth that have undergone root canal treatment.
CEREC crowns can restore chewing function and are made from high-quality ceramic materials that blend naturally with your smile. With the right care, a dental crown could last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Which Option Is Right for You?
There is no single solution that works for everyone. The right treatment depends on factors such as the condition of your remaining teeth, gum and jawbone health, and your long-term dental goals. We will take the time to discuss every option with you to make sure we find the best fit for your needs.
