If you’ve lost a tooth (or teeth), here are some teeth replacement options available to you
Life is unpredictable. Despite our best intentions, our permanent teeth might not last us a lifetime as we expected. The causes may range from dental decay to gum disease to unforeseen mishaps. If you have been unfortunate enough to have lost a tooth, do not fret! Our dentists at Triad Dentistry in Greensboro, North Carolina, offer comprehensive tooth replacement solutions for patient consideration—our team, including Drs. Steven Hatcher, Chad Merrell, and Bailey Walker can assess your oral health needs and help you decide if permanent dental implants are the best solution.
What are my teeth replacement options with Triad Dentistry?
Regardless of the number of teeth missing, we offer a variety of solutions. Dentures and dental bridges are popular choices for many of our patients with tooth loss and can be an affordable option. However, our dentists will recommend permanent dental implants to many patients whenever possible because of their durability and resemblance to natural teeth. These restorations have several benefits over traditional tooth replacement options, making them a reliable and solid choice for most adults.
What are the advantages of using permanent dental implants for teeth replacement?
Permanent dental implants provide a solid foundation for dentures, offering a better fit than conventional dentures secured with adhesive. Triad Dentistry of Greensboro, North Carolina, specializes in titanium implants for patients with sufficient bone structure. Titanium is a biocompatible metal, and these implants mimic the tooth’s root, providing the necessary stimulation to maintain a healthy jawbone. A crown attached to the implant perfectly replicates the look and feel of a natural tooth.

How do I know if I am a proper candidate for permanent dental implants?
How would you like a tooth replacement that is incredibly durable, capable of lasting a lifetime with proper care, and brings stability to your smile? Permanent dental implants provide this incredible stability thanks to a process called osseointegration. During this process, the implant forms a solid bond with your jaw’s bone, restoring your smile to its former glory. The team at Triad Dentistry invites you for a consultation to explore the numerous ways a dental implant can enhance your smile’s functionality and aesthetics and to discuss your candidacy.
