Missing Teeth Corbin
Enjoy Life with a Complete Smile Once More
Even having just one missing tooth can put you at a pretty significant disadvantage; however, when multiple pearly whites are lost, your oral health can really begin to take a wrong turn. That’s why Dr. Whitaker offers several options for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants—which are considered the gold standard in restorative care. To learn more about your options for rebuilding your smile, or to schedule a consultation at our Corbin office, feel free to call us today!

Dental Implants
Dental implants refer to small posts that can be surgically placed to restore the roots of missing teeth—they are the only type of dental restoration designed to do this! From there, custom-made replacement teeth (in the form of a crown, bridge, or denture) can be used to restore the top portions. In addition to filling the gaps in your smile, dental implants also come with several other exciting benefits, such as a very long lifespan, as well as the prevention of further jawbone loss.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge can help fill in the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Two dental crowns are placed on the teeth on either side of the missing ones, and these are used to support new prosthetic teeth to close the space. And, if a patient doesn’t have enough healthy teeth to hold a bridge, one can also be made using dental implants. Either way, a bridge can drastically improve the appearance and function of the smile at the same time.
Dentures
If you’re missing a few or all of your teeth, then custom-made dentures from Dr. Whitaker can easily give you a reason to smile again. Modern-day dentures are more natural-looking, comfortable, and durable than anything your parents or grandparents might have worn, ensuring that you’ll be able to eat and speak without having to worry about your teeth. And, you can get either a traditional removable denture or even an implant-retained prosthetic. It can either snap onto new titanium tooth roots or screw in and remain affixed.
