Restoring Your Smile When You Are Missing Teeth

Restore Your Beautiful Smile at Cooley Smiles

Did you know that the average adult between the ages of 20 and 64 is estimated to have three or more decayed or missing teeth? Your dental care and oral health are necessary to maintaining your overall health and wellness. Untreated dental disease in decaying teeth can lead to more serious health issues, including infection or damage to your bones and nerves. Learn more about the importance of oral health.

If you are missing one or more teeth, or have teeth that need to be removed, there are many ways to restore your oral health and your beautiful smile. Two of the ways that Dr. Aaron Cooley and Dr. Brandon Cooley work to restore missing teeth are through the use of dental bridges and dental implants.

Dental Bridge - Dental bridges are literally used to "bridge" gaps in your teeth. At Cooley Smiles, we regularly recommend this restoration for patients with missing teeth who are not ideal candidates for dental implants.

Dental Implant - Dental implants are titanium screws secured directly into your jaw. A dental crown is then placed on top of your implant to serve as a prosthetic tooth. Dental implants provide you with the most durable and functional replacement for your missing tooth. To learn more about the dental implant process, click here.
