At Miami Modern Dental, area patients can restore their smiles with dentures, dental implants, or bridges depending on their specific needs.
At Miami Modern Dental, Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. are here to help patients in repairing their smiles after tooth loss or extraction. Missing teeth can negatively affect not only the appearance of the smile but also function and the health. Whether patients have lost teeth from injury, extraction, disease, or large cavities, our team at Miami Modern Dental can provide a solution. There is never a “one size fits all” solution for patients in our practice, which is why we provide three options for replacing missing teeth that patients can consider.
Dentures
While many patients think of their grandparents’ false teeth and how obviously unnatural they were, dentures have come a long way over the years. Using better, stronger, and more natural-looking materials has allowed many patients to enjoy using dentures to repair their smiles after tooth loss. Partial dentures are made in a way that replaces one or more teeth within the arch by using a metal framework that snaps into place and uses the remaining teeth for support. They are an economic solution for many patients who are on a budget.
Bridges
A more permanent option is dental bridges. Dental bridges are made of ceramic to mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel. By doing this, they blend in seamlessly and do not stand out as dental restorations. Bridges are formed by fusing dental crowns and false teeth called pontics together to create a single restoration that can withstand many years of service before replacement is necessary.
To some dentists, dental implants are the “gold standard” in tooth replacement. This is because they are made to last a lifetime and hold their value years after being placed. Dental implants do require patients to have sufficient bone structure, and this can be determined with x-rays during a consultation appointment. Dental implants can hold dental crowns to replace a single tooth, anchor a dental bridge, or support full dentures for better fit and function.
Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. are excited to offer all three of these amazing options for patients ready to address tooth loss within their smiles.
