Transforming the way you look and feel has never been easier or more affordable than with Invisalign. Imagine having your best smile for as little as $175 a month! It’s time to give you the smile you’ve always dreamed about, the confidence you’ll gain is just an added bonus.
If one or more missing teeth leave you feeling self-conscious about your smile, traditional dentures and partials are no longer your only option! Whether from accident, aging, or tooth decay there are some exciting advances in restorative dental technology. Dr. Brianna Szymanski may be able to replace your missing teeth with state-of-the-art dental implants, dental bridges, overdentures, or partials.
These innovative options look more natural than dentures and partials and are easier to maintain. Sometimes dentures and partials are the most effective option, but they’ve come a long way too.

Replacing missing teeth empowers you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence!

Dental health is whole-body health.
Beyond aesthetics, leaving a gap in your smile or anywhere in your mouth can spark a ripple effect of oral health problems. Your teeth may be straight today, but just one missing tooth can cause surrounding teeth to gradually shift and tilt out of alignment. This can disrupt your bite, make brushing and flossing less effective, and increase your risk of several oral health conditions.
Just one missing molar can make it more challenging to chew your favorite foods.
Just one missing front tooth can make it difficult to bite into foods you enjoy.
Craft Dentistry restores your ability to chew!
Multiple missing front teeth can change the shape of your face and alter pronunciation. This negatively impacts the clarity of your communication. If you no longer look or sound like yourself, restorative dentistry can help.
Even if your missing tooth is in the back of your mouth where no one will see or know, it’s best to replace it to:
If your teeth have gradually begun to shift and are disrupting your speech, oral health, or self-confidence—Craft Dentistry is here to help!
After a comprehensive exam that may include both X-rays and a 3D scan, Dr. Szymanski will present you with your options. This may include:
Dental implants: We surgically implant a titanium post into your jawline and screw a restoration on top. Tooth implants look and function like natural teeth.
Whether for a single tooth, overdentures, or implant-supported dentures—the titanium post acts like a natural tooth root. This stimulates the bone preventing the bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures.
With proper care, implants last a lifetime!
If your implanted tooth is damaged, we can replace or restore it.
Implant-supported bridge: If you’re missing teeth are next to a dental implant, your implant provides a stable option for supporting a bridge.
Overdentures: If you’re missing multiple teeth, we may discuss a series of strategically placed dental implants that attach to removable overdentures.
Being attached to implants, overdentures are more stable than traditional dentures.
Implant-supported dentures: Similar to overdentures, the primary difference is that you can’t remove these dentures at home.
Conventional dentures: Conventional dentures are more comfortable, stable, and life-like than ever before.
Partial dentures: With full dentures, all or most of your upper and lower teeth must be removed.
Partials provide a better fit if you don’t need to remove as many teeth.
If you aren’t bothered by a missing back tooth, you may consider letting it go.
However, a missing back tooth can cause your remaining teeth to shift and tilt. Over time, this can alter your smile, ability to chew, and oral health and hygiene.
Dr. Szymanski will need to perform a thorough exam to determine the best options to replace your missing teeth.
With proper care and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Dentures can last between 10 and 15 years with proper care.
Overdentures, partials, and bridges can last up to 15 years with proper care.
