What is Tooth Replacement?

What is Tooth Replacement?

When you are completely missing one or more of your teeth, it can affect the way that your smile both looks and functions. If left untreated, surrounding teeth can begin to shift and result in overcrowding and misalignment. There are a multitude of different tooth replacement options including dental implants, fixed bridges, and partial dentures. Each of these options is designed to fully replace the tooth to create a more even, full smile.

Why might you need Tooth Replacement?

You may want or need a tooth replacement if you are completely missing one or more of your natural teeth. By having tooth replacement done, your smile is more uniform and there is a decreased chance of the surrounding teeth shifting around. We can help to decipher which replacement option is best suited to your needs. We are able to work within a budget that is affordable for you so that you can receive the treatment that you need.

Who is a good candidate for Tooth Replacement?

Anyone who is completely missing one or more of their teeth is eligible for complete tooth replacement. However, depending on your medical history and your dental needs, you may need to have a different type of treatment done. For instance, someone with poor bone density or has a disease that affects their body’s ability to heal may not be suitable for dental implant surgery and will instead be provided with a dental bridge.

This gentleman desired a brighter smile, but wanted a natural look to suit his face. New veneers were handcrafted to look completely natural, and his smile was designed to better support his face.

A long time Aspenite didn’t like her two front teeth. After proper analysis and a Smile Test DriveTM we determined it was a more complex problem than just two teeth. Her bite had destroyed her teeth and smile, and aged her face. So we fixed her bite and smile using our Ageless Smile algorithm, which turned back the clock.

This 40 something Aspen and Sydney resident presented looking for a better smile. Because after 2 rounds of Invisalign and plenty of whitening, he was still left wanting. With almost no preparation of his teeth we were able to add the length, prominence, broadness on sides and the shade his smile was wanting for resulting in a more youthful attractive smile and fuller lips. He is ecstatic about his new smile! The Ageless Smile Algorithm nailed it again.

This hospital exec traveled for a couple of hours in search of the smile of her dreams. Her lack of tooth display was due to a skeletal issue known as an impacted and retrognathic maxilla, which means her upper jaw was too far up and back causing her smile to show less tooth volume and less lip support than ideal. We designed a new smile to correct that deficiency by making her teeth longer and building them out for more tooth support. Now she shows a more attractive and youthful amount of tooth display that is in harmony with her lower lip. She loves her new smile which gives her renewed confidence every day.

Unhappy with the size of her smile and her local dentist’s attempt to bond a little more length, this Florida woman came to Aspen to receive The

Ageless SmileTM. Traditional dentistry would have referred her for Jaw Surgery in order to bring her upper jaw down and forward to show more teeth. Although this was discussed, the patient chose the non-surgical route which gave a near surgical result for her esthetics and bite. Tooth display at smile and at rest are some of the main determinants in guessing ones age. She now shows a more youthful amount of tooth, which takes years off of her look.

Our favorite Miami Housewives star, interior designer, and hotelier was just back in our office for his new smile. Exactly like the temporaries but the brighter shade he chose. In fact, this is our very brightest shade that he saw on his dear friend and fell in love with, and why he came to us to begin with. He has been looking for a decade for someone who could give him a super bright smile that still looked natural. It’s all in the natural tooth form, texture, and translucency. He loves his new smile and commented after each visit that he was amazed that he felt like he had no work done after each appointment as he had no pain or sensitivity. Another great Ageless Smile!
