Implant crowns, implant supported dentures, and full and partial dentures. We will help you find the option that fits your needs and budget.
Options for missing teeth.
We always try to save a tooth first. If that is not possible, there are good ways to replace it.
Dr. Schmidt will go over each option with you, including how it looks, how it feels, how long it lasts and what it costs.
Some patients want the most natural feel. Others want the most affordable choice. We will help you pick what works for you.
Ways to replace missing teeth.
Implant Crowns & Bridges
An implant is a small post that sits in the jawbone and works like a tooth root. Once it heals, a crown goes on top. It looks and feels the most like a real tooth, and it does not affect the teeth next to it.
- Replaces one tooth or several
- Fixed in place, no adhesives
- Cleaned like your own teeth
Implant Supported Dentures
A denture that snaps onto a few implants, so it stays in place when you eat and talk. This is a great option if your lower denture tends to slip.
Full Dentures
A full set of replacement teeth for the upper or lower jaw, made to fit your mouth. We also reline and repair dentures as your mouth changes.
Partial Dentures
If you still have some of your natural teeth, a partial denture fills in the gaps. It is often the most affordable way to replace several teeth.
Implant and denture questions
Am I a good candidate for a dental implant?
Most healthy adults can get an implant. Smoking, some health conditions and bone loss can affect this, so Dr. Schmidt will check with an exam and x-rays.
How long does the implant process take?
It usually takes a few months, since the implant needs time to heal before the crown goes on.
Implant or denture: which is better?
Implants feel more like real teeth. Dentures cost less and do not need surgery. Implant supported dentures are a good in between option for many people.
