Are you missing a tooth or several teeth? Or do you have a tooth that has limited structure left to hold a filling ... or perhaps broken down or fractured? Are you wondering just how the determination is made to do this higher level of restorative dental work? All of these scenarios affect you in a number of ways including your appearance, your chewing ability, and putting extra stress on your surrounding teeth. After a thorough examination and review of your x-rays, Dr. Dargan or Dr. Miller will determine your need for an implant, bridgework, or a crown.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth
root which is surgically placed in the jawbone. This root offers a solid foundation to which the replacement tooth can be attached. Your new permanent tooth will help to restore the natural appearance of your mouth and enable you to chew with confidence.
Another option for tooth/teeth replacement is bridgework. Provided that sufficient tooth structure is remaining on the surrounding teeth, Dargan and Miller, D.D.S. are able to create a bridge connecting the replacement tooth with the other teeth. The bridge is permanently cemented in your mouth and comfort, stability, and a more youthful appearance are achieved.
Crown restoration may be recommended when an existing tooth has become problematic - severely broken down from decay or fracture. Covering the tooth completely, Dargan and Miller, D.D.S. are able to customize the shade to match your other teeth.
